As we reach the end of Term 3, it's hard to believe how quickly the weeks have passed. It feels like only yesterday we were welcoming students back from the mid-year break, and now we find ourselves reflecting on a term filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments. The pace of the term has been fast, but the energy and enthusiasm from our students and staff have made it a truly rewarding time.

This term has been rich with sporting achievements, and we congratulate all students who represented our school with pride and determination. From interschool competitions to representative opportunities across the Granite Belt and the Darling Downs, their efforts have been outstanding. 

A highlight for many was the author visit, which inspired our budding writers and brought stories to life in exciting ways. We also celebrated creativity through the CRISPS Art Show—congratulations to all who submitted artworks and to our talented winners!

Our Year 5 and Year 6 camps were a great success, offering students opportunities to build independence, teamwork, and lasting memories. Book Week was another joyful celebration, with the character parade bringing colour and imagination to our school grounds.

We were honoured to have some of our students participate in the Diocesan Mass and the launch of the Jubilee Year, a meaningful experience that connected us with the wider faith community.

As we look ahead to the coming weekend, we wish the very best of luck to our students competing in the Primary Schools' Netball Cup in Brisbane.

A sincere thank you to our dedicated staff for their care and support of students throughout the term. Their commitment to nurturing academic growth and personal development continues to make a lasting impact.

School resumes on Tuesday, 7 October, and we wish all families a safe, restful, and happy holiday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for an equally busy Term 4.

With God's blessings
