A term of celebration, community and growth

There’s never a quiet moment at All Saints Grammar, and this Term has been no exception! It’s been a season full of energy, celebration and connection, with so many wonderful events bringing our school community together.

From our Easter observances and the stirring visit from the Evzones, to Mother’s Day celebrations, the National Schools Event and, of course, All Saints Day, Term 2 has given us many opportunities to come together in the spirit of unity, culture, and faith.

Campus improvements
We’ve made exciting progress across both campuses. Our Primary students have been thoroughly enjoying their brand-new Infants Playground – a vibrant, imaginative space designed for safe and active play. The laughter and joy of our youngest learners as they explore the equipment speaks volumes about the impact of this upgrade.

Meanwhile, Secondary students have settled beautifully into the newly installed modular classrooms. With light-filled interiors and a popular deck space that’s become a go-to lunchtime spot, these modern learning spaces support both collaboration and quiet focus which are essential elements of effective learning.

Thank you ASPA
A sincere thank you to the All Saints Parents Association (ASPA) for hosting an outstanding breakfast event, featuring guest speaker Ashley Whitehead. ASPA continues to play a vital role in strengthening the connection between our school and parent community. I encourage all families to get involved, even a small contribution of your time can make a big difference. The next ASPA meeting will be held at 6pm on Monday 25 August.

Parent/Carer Survey
Your voice matters. As part of our ongoing commitment to improvement, we are conducting the annual ASG Parent/Carers Survey. If you haven’t yet completed it, I encourage you to do so. The feedback received will help guide our strategic priorities as we look toward 2026 and beyond.

The survey is anonymous and will remain open until Friday 27 June. Please check your email (including your junk/spam folder), for a message from XRef.

Semester 1 Student Reports
Our educators are finalising Semester 1 reports for students in Kindergarten to Year 11. These will be sent home in the first week of the holiday break. I encourage you to sit down with your child to read through the report together, celebrating their efforts and identifying any areas for growth. These conversations help students build ownership over their learning, and we welcome follow-up discussions with teachers in Term 3.

Year 12 Holiday Lesson Program
As part of our support for Year 12 students, we will once again be offering a series of revision and exam preparation lessons during the break. Our dedicated staff are generously giving their time to help students consolidate their understanding and build confidence ahead of final assessments. Attendance is highly encouraged as these sessions can make a meaningful difference in students’ HSC outcomes.

All Saints Day
Our All Saints Day celebrations were a standout moment this Term, bringing together students, families and parishioners in a joyful and meaningful way. The liturgy and street fair were vibrant, community-driven events, with students taking pride in their performances and contributions.

These celebrations sit at the heart of our school’s mission in strengthening the cultural, social and spiritual ties that bind us together. It is through shared experiences like these that our students develop a deeper sense of identity and belonging.

As we wrap up a busy and fulfilling term, I encourage all families to enjoy a well-earned, restful break. Take the time to recharge, reconnect, and return refreshed for the term ahead. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 21 July as we begin Term 3.

A reminder that our Winter Uniform Policy will remain in place for the start of the new Term.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and commitment to our school community.
