Storrington PS Family Update September 7-11, 2026

What a Fantastic First Week!

Hello Storrington PS Families,

I want to share my gratitude and pride for such a wonderful start to the school year! Our teachers and staff have been busy building strong, welcoming learning communities, and our students enjoyed reconnecting with peers - old and new!

Learning is already well underway, with students enthusiastically engaging in literacy and numeracy activities, building new skills, and developing confidence as learners. It has been wonderful to see our school filled with energy, connection, and excitement for learning!

We wrapped up the week with a quick Fun Friday Welcome Assembly for students and staff! The energy and enthusiasm was contagious as we headed into the long weekend!

Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping make our first week such a great one.

We are off to an amazing start, Storrington!

Proud to be a Stinger! 🐝

Ms. Domingo

Principal
