Principal's Message
What a wonderful year it has been here at Sefton Infants School! I can hardly believe that we have already reached the end of the 2019 school year. It seems like just a couple of months ago that our new kindergarten students were walking nervously and excitedly into their classrooms for the first time. I remember them working out the mysteries of their lunchboxes and the bubblers while their new year 1 and year 2 friends showed them the ropes of big school.
Each and every one of the students from Kindergarten to Year 2 of Sefton Infants School have made such growth and progress since that first school day of this year. They have all grown in confidence and independence across a range of learning areas in the classroom and playground. Well done to you all!
I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to all who have contributed to individual student achievements, as well as our collective school achievements.
Firstly, thank you to our wonderful students. Thank you for your energy, your humour and for inspiring me, your teachers and your parents to be the best people that we can be and for giving us hope for a brighter future world.
Thank you to our parent and community members. Thank you for your support for all things ‘Sefton’ and for giving us the opportunity to work in partnership with you to give the greatest gift of all, for all of our children - the gift of education.
Lastly but certainly not least, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the teachers, administration staff and School Learning Support Officers at mighty SIS. I am truly blessed to work with such an amazing team of people who are compassionate, caring and highly skilled in the science and art of teaching. It is not just our students that learn from our teachers. I, too, learn from our fabulous staff every day. Our staff members are deeply invested in finding and nurturing the immense potential in all of our students. To do this takes determination, hard work and a commitment to the pursuit of excellence. I thank all of our staff members for investing so much of themselves and their tremendous effort in teaching at Sefton Infants School and the future of Australia.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our schoo community. Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing holiday. I am already looking forward to many more amazing learning adventures in 2020.
