Principal's Report

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming the Minister for Education – Hon Sarah Courtney MP to our school. The Minister visited students in our STEM class, the bike track, kitchen/garden space and some classrooms. It was a pleasure to speak with the Minister about exciting projects happening across our school and for students to share their thoughts and learning with the Minister.

Father’s Day Stall

Last week our School Association held a Father’s Day stall which was well supported by our community, I would like to thank our volunteers for supporting the stall in particular Rachel for her ongoing organisation! The stall helped raise over $1000 for our school.

Learn to Swim – Year 3-6

It has been amazing to see the progress in week 2 shown by many students participating in the learn to swim program. This week students have been undertaking swim and survival sessions including boat safety at the pool. We would like to thank Mr Bailey for his organisation and flexibility of staff to support the program.

Year 4-6 Student Survey

Our Year 4-6 students have nearly all completed the survey with a few to catch up over the next 2 days. The survey results will help our school to understand the wellbeing needs of students and for the Department of Education to support these needs. The survey has been open from 23 August to 17 September.  The survey will provide valuable data on the wellbeing of students’ and identify key issues that may need addressing (eg belonging; connectedness to school).

Parent Surveys

Our school parent survey is now available and ready for completion by community members. Relevant information has now been sent to families, we encourage you to complete the survey which will inform our school planning and decision making in the future. The survey will close next Friday 17 September.
