Whether your holidays were busy, or nice and quiet, we hope there was time to rest, reconnect, and recharge before the rhythm of work and school life resumes next week.
The school is looking in excellent shape. Over the break, Cowan House underwent a major refurbishment in preparation for welcoming our new Lower 1st students.  All classrooms are now fitted with the latest interactive CommBox smart boards to further support teaching and learning. In addition, classrooms have enjoyed a fresh coat of paint, and significant repair work has been completed on both of our main fields.
Over the past week, staff have returned for philosophical study, team building, professional learning, and time to prepare their classrooms. This important work ensures that our students are welcomed into well-prepared, thoughtful, and engaging learning environments from the very first day.
Our school’s success is built on a strong and connected community. We encourage families to be involved wherever possible — supporting our staff, parent class representatives, the Parents and Friends Association, and most importantly, our students. This shared involvement makes a meaningful difference.

All the best for a special and rewarding 2026.
