Together We Grow

GROWTH, RESPECT, OPPORTUNITY, WORTH

Welcome to All

Dear Parents/Guardians I would like to thank and acknowledge the wonderful students and dedicated staff for their efforts this year at our school. We have had a productive and successful year and I have again appreciated the support from parents, carers and volunteers across the school. I hope everyone enjoys the opportunity to relax over the coming break. THANKYOU What a wonderful two weeks of celebrations had by all: Carol’s Night, Graduation and P&C Awards. A big THANK YOU to Mrs Christine Thomas for her organisation of the Carol’s Night. Thank you also to our students, staff, parent and community helpers, who without them, this event would not have been as successful as it was. Sausage Sizzles, decorations, carolling and dance made the night a wonderful success and a great community event. Thank you! Congratulations to our Year 6 students on their wonderful Graduation Assembly. Students, we are extremely proud of your achievements, perseverance and successes throughout 2017. Congratulations to all of our Graduating students and award winners from today’s ceremony. Congratulations also on your exceptional behaviour on the year 6 excursion yesterday. Graduating students, we all wish you the best in the new year ahead and hope that your time at high school is just as memorable as your time at Thornlie Primary School. Congratulations to our talented students who were recipients of much deserved P&C book awards at our last assembly. Students, you have worked hard throughout the year and we are all very proud of you! Thank you also to our P&C for their sponsorship of this event.
