Assembly Another fabulous end of year celebration. So many great items and wonderful award winners. Congratulations to all classes for their performances and for dealing so well with the heat. It was wonderful to see students being responsible during the very hot weather. Year 6 Graduation Thank you to all staff and parents who worked together to make the graduation such a success. Congratulations to all our Year 6 students on the way you have worked hard and kept up the wonderful Camboon attitude during the year. I wish you all the very best for high school and wish you every success in the future. You have had a great start to your education and we look forward to hearing about all the great things you achieve. Come back to visit us and tell us all the great things you are doing.

Staff update We would like to thank and farewell Miss Slater from room 16 who is leaving us as she has secured a permanent position at another school. We wish her all the very best. We also thank and farewell Jacinta Martino, Haley Welsh and Janine Harris who have been working as Education Assistants across the school.

Reports Reports will go home with students today. Please make sure you find the important time to sit with your child and read through each area, looking at the grades but paying specific attention to the comments. Teachers spend a lot of time writing valuable comments that also give you information on how your child can improve. It is very important that your child understands the report and takes it as valuable feedback for future improvement. Learning is lifelong and we encourage our students to do their best but also work on areas they can improve. Please support your child to continuously learn. Those who have requested a second copy will be emailed tomorrow.

Good bye Good bye and all the best to students and families who are leaving us. You will always be a part of the Camboon family so stay in touch. We wish you all the very best.

Thank you Our school is an amazing school thanks to the wonderful support from our School Board, P&C and wider community. Our school has highly dedicated and passionate staff who care and make a positive difference. I want to THANK each staff member as together we make a wonderful school and make a positive difference in the lives of our students. You deserve a restful holiday and I look forward to seeing what we achieve in 2020.

2020 class lists These will be displayed in the assembly area tomorrow Thursday 19 December from 2pm. The class lists have been created based-on current student enrolment numbers for 2020 and are subject to change. Staff spend time creating the lists based on their knowledge of students, taking into account learning needs, behaviour, friendships and social emotional needs. Staff ensure that a range of students are in each class and this allows students opportunities to develop new friendships. All written requests are considered and we ask that parents are supportive and react positively to the class lists. All of our teachers are wonderful teachers and students will still get to play with their friends at recess and lunch times should they not be in the same class. Teaching your child/our students to be resilient and flexible is a vital skill and we ask for your support in accepting our decisions, based on educational needs.
