As our 2022 academic year draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for an exceptional year. Thank you for selecting us for your daughters’ early education, as it has been a tremendous privilege to be involved in each of your little girls’ learning journeys this year.

In the coming weeks, you will receive your daughter’s beautiful and informative school report and our special 2022 ELC Keepsake Book. The teachers have spent an incredible amount of time reflecting on and documenting your daughter’s learning journey in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework and through our special projects. They have then carefully selected what are truly the most beautiful photos of your daughter that represent her identity and the learning that has been important to her. For this exceptionally time consuming yet incredibly important work, as a parent and leader, I would like to express my immense gratitude to the teachers, and to the co-educators for their support.

Finally, you will receive information in January reminding you of the final transition visit (scheduled for Tuesday 31 January between 9.00am and 11.00am) and informing you of the designated days for the specialist lessons in the ELC.

For those of you continuing into Reception, your teachers will send you timetables for specialist lessons. We are already busily preparing for the girls’ commencement, including purchasing brand-new readers and finalising plans for the implementation of a new, exceptional literacy program.

We wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday and look forward to seeing you in 2023.
