Welcome back to the start of another exciting year at 秀秀直播, one filled with hope and joy for the journey ahead. We especially welcome the Pre Kindy and Kindy students starting their schooling at 秀秀直播. Our hope is that all new families feel welcome and at peace within our College community. The students have made a wonderful start and have settled quickly into the routine of their new classes. This is because of the hard work put in by the staff who were well prepared and eager to meet your child. This relationship is critical to our College鈥檚 Wellbeing Program and ultimately the success of each student. The classroom teacher is your first point of contact should you need anything regarding your child鈥檚 learning or wellbeing. We look forward to continuing in partnership with your family this year.

A similar opportunity for parents at the Lavalla Campus will also be made available throughout the term. More details to follow. The College is continually looking for ways to create opportunities for parents to interact, contribute and belong to the extended 秀秀直播 community, so we hope you will all support and enjoy this opportunity.

This will be a relaxed evening where families can come together and enjoy a chance to catch up with friends. We particularly welcome families that are new to the College.
