FROM THE HEAD OF PRIMARY

It’s hard to believe that we have already reached the halfway mark of the school calendar.  We thank our Grammar parent community for their support and partnership, and our Grammar staff for their impact on learning and life at Grammar for our students.

As always it was wonderful to celebrate our school’s Foundation Day today. Whilst our school continues to grow and flourish, days like our Foundation Day and other traditional events provide us with the opportunity to reflect and be reminded of our roots and what makes Grammar such a great place to be.  It was especially rewarding to congratulate long-standing staff recognised, as well as the Lifelong Learners who have moved from Prep to Year 12 at Grammar.

We wish you well for a restful and fulfilling holiday with your families and look forward to seeing you back at school for Term 3 on Tuesday, 15 July.

Academic Reports

A reminder that parents are able to access student Academic Reports in Parent Lounge, through their GECO login.

Comparative marks will be available Week 1 Term 3 on the Year Level GECO page.

Student Highlights

Congratulations to Year 4 students Kenny M, Aria B, Izzy R, Willow J and Bianca S on their recent fundraising efforts for the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.  The girls raised $210 from selling bracelets at school.

They were thrilled to drop off the money, donated in Grammar’s name, to the Wildlife Hospital and were rewarded with a special tour as a thank you for their hard work.
