What an amazing few weeks we have had at Pimpala Primary School!

Our Year 3 and 5 students completed their NAPLAN Assessments over the last two weeks, the resilience and dedication that our students demonstrated throughout this process was excellent. They managed technical difficulties and changes to schedules with confidence and courage. The results for these assessments are expected to be delivered to families at the end of Term 3.

It was fantastic to see our students participate in Sports Day on Friday last week. We had the perfect weather and it was especially great that we were able to have families’ onsite to cheer and support our students. It was exciting to speak to family members face to face and continue to form our connections to our community.

I would like to acknowledge Emily Mooney-Doe who organised the event and did a great job ensuring that it ran smoothly and that our students were prepared and engaged. There is a lot of work behind the scenes in a whole school event, thank you to everyone who supported Emily to make this one of our best sports days ever.

I would also like to acknowledge our Governing Council Members who supported Kylie in the canteen with our BBQ, we really appreciate you taking time out of your day to serve our community. I know I really appreciated my bacon and egg sandwich. Yum!

I will update families as soon as possible if COVID guidelines are updated this week. Until you receive this update please continue to follow our current guidelines. As I have mentioned previously the support from our community with these guidelines has been excellent.

Governing Council is meeting on Wednesday, 25 May at 7:00 pm in the STEM room, we invite members of the community to attend, you do not need to be a Governing Council Member to attend.
