It has been an exciting and challenging year at Pimpala Primary School and for our community.

Through all of the changes and challenges our students and our community have remained focused, supportive and engaged.

I would personally like to thank you all for your ongoing support to our students and our school.

Our students have shown resilience in accepting the changes with lock down and online learning, they are continuing to show their responsibility with their commitment to their learning and respect in their interactions with each other and staff. It has been amazing to see our students grow and challenge themselves throughout the year.

We have a few big weeks left this term with our End of Year Celebration this Wednesday Night at 5:00pm and Graduation next Thursday Night at Wirreanda Secondary School. This will be our last Year 7 Graduation as all Year 7 students will be at Secondary School from 2022.

Our staffing for 2022 is awaiting verification from the Department for Education and is not yet finalised.

Our 2022 classes are almost complete and students will visit their 2022 classes next Thursday. Information will be sent home with students that afternoon.

There will be a brief, one page bulletin sent out next week to confirm staffing for 2022 and share any other details necessary for families before the year concludes.

We acknowledge that this time of the year can be very difficult for many people for a variety of reasons. Please reach out and connect with staff at school if you need support or advice.

I wish you all a safe and happy holiday break and hope that you get to spend some relaxing family time together.

I look forward to the beginning of 2022 and cannot wait to continue our journey as a community.

Kind Regards

Belinda Finlay-Smith

Principal
