Hello Families,

What a fantastic start to 2025! It was such a joy to see all the excited faces on the first day. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

We’re fully back into the swing of things, with plenty of exciting things on the horizon. I’m particularly looking forward to our first assembly next week—though I’ve been told to come to school in “active wear!”

I would acknowledge one of our many superstars here at Alkimos PS, Noah (Year 4, CR24) won gold in the combined events (800 meters, 100 meters, 70-meter hurdles and high jump) at The Ridgewood Athletics Competition. Noah will compete in qualifies for the Special Olympics in the upcoming months. We look forward to hearing all about his future achievements.

For Year 3 and 5 families, I’ve sent a Connect message about NAPLAN 2025. Additionally, Year 4 to 6 families, I’ve sent a message regarding Good Standing Passports for 2025. When you get the chance, please review both so you're up to date on all communications.

Lastly, a big thank you for your continued support as we navigate the start of this school year together.

Cheers,

Mr. Chrimes
Associate Principal
