Wow! What a year 2024 has been. It's always important at this busy time of year to reflect on the adventures we've had on this learning journey we are on together. Many events and activities come to mind. 

Throughout 2024, in Pre-Prep, Prep, Yr1 and Yr 2, we have enjoyed:

 - Under 8's Day. Such a great day with our friends from Bright Beginnings joining use for the fun

- Open Mornings

- Easter Hat Parade

- Prep Experience days including music, art and story readings. These days are invaluable to help our newest members transition to Prep and creating a sense of belonging

- Junior Sports Day

- Junior Swimming Carnival

- Prep Excursion to Lone Pine & Shorncliffe 

- Yr 1 excursion to the Planitarium

- Yr 2 excursion to Nudgee Beach

- Book Week 

- Show & Shine

- Prep Playground Opening.

Don't forget all the wonderful learning that happens in our wonderful classrooms daily. On a personal note, I love seeing our students engaged in learning. I frequently visit classrooms and chat with students about their next steps in their learning. I have visits from students bubbling with pride and talking about their learning. The conversations I have with teachers about the continual growth and development of our students in all areas of their learning is one of the best parts of coming to school. Craigslea definately has a sense of belonging. I feel it daily through the interactions with the students, parents and staff.

Thank you for another wonderful year at Craigslea. For those who have students moving on to other schools (my son is off to high school) good luck on your next adventure. To the rest of the Craigslea community, I look forward to another year jam packed with learning opportunities for our students on their life long journey of learning. As we are all learners at heart.
