I would like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing students for the enthusiasm and excitement they bring to our learning spaces each day. They arrive with smiles on their faces and a determination to move through the year positively. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the growth they have shown.

To our outstanding staff, who continue to ride the education rollercoaster alongside me鈥�with a few more twists and turns sure to keep us on our toes next year鈥�I am deeply grateful to have you on this journey. Thank you for consistently doing what needs to be done in the best interests of our students and for always placing their needs first.

To our parents and community members, thank you for the ongoing support and encouragement you provide to both our students and staff. It is genuinely appreciated.

To those members of our school community who are moving on to new chapters and adventures in 2026, we wish you every success in whatever the future holds. Please know that you will always remain part of the RPS family.

Finally, on behalf of our staff, we wish you all a safe and happy holiday break. We hope you enjoy some quality time with the people who matter most to you.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay happy and remember to be kind to yourself and others over the holiday break. I look forward to the adventure that 2026 will bring.
