What an incredible year 2024 has been for our school community at New Holland Drive! This year marked the completion of our state-of-the-art building works, including specialist spaces and beautifully upgraded grounds. Our students have especially enjoyed making the most of the new oval and yarning circle during break times, spaces that truly enhance our learning environment.

A significant milestone this year was our School Review, which takes place every four years.

The review highlighted the remarkable dedication of our students and staff, with so many positive aspects of our school shining brightly during classroom observations and visits. . This process reaffirmed the outstanding learning culture we continue to foster.

Our students have engaged in a host of exciting learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Some of the key events and activities included:

• Swimming Programs

• Year 6 Camp at Blackwood

• Athletics Days

• Music and Song Room Incursions

• Weekly Myuna Farm SWPBS Excursions

• Gumbuya World Visits

• Wellbeing Dog Program

• Street Stalls at New Holland Drive

• House Fun Run

• Prep Students’ 100 Days of Prep Celebration

Towards the end of the year, we proudly celebrated our Grade 6 Graduation, our End of Year Celebration, and School Disco.

One personal highlight for me has been our whole school assemblies in our new gym. These gatherings have truly showcased our school values, as we come together to celebrate every student and strengthen our community spirit.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to our parents/carers and the wider community for your unwavering support and partnership throughout 2024. A huge congratulations to all our students for putting their best foot forward every day, and to our amazing staff for providing exceptional learning opportunities for our New Holland Drive superstars!

Here’s to another year of growth, learning, and success.
