Dear Glenvale Community,

Welcome to the last newsletter for Term 2.

Firstly, I want to let you know of current

staffing arrangements. Kevin Lane remains

our substantive Deputy Principal at Narara

and will be acting Principal of Glenvale when I

am away or at training or fulfilling other

department requirements.

Karen Campbell (Assistant Principal Narara) is

now acting Deputy Principal for the North

Entrance Campus, replacing Deputy Principal

Sarah Turnbull (Maternity Leave). Brieahn

March (Assistant Principal North Entrance)

continues substantively in her role.

Paul Kannapinn at Narara is acting Assistant

Principal replacing substantive Assistant

Principal Judy-Ann Cluff who is currently

seconded to a State Office senior officer role.

Maureen Pobje at Narara is acting Assistant

Principal replacing substantive Assistant

Principal Russell Garstang who continues at

The Croft as Head Teacher Support

One of our newest recruit Damien O’Keefe at

Narara, is acting Assistant Principal replacing

substantive Assistant Principal Karen

Campbell whilst she relives for Sarah. With all

these changes there is still ongoing

consistency for students in classrooms with

minimal change overall. That is always our

priority.

On the matter of student health, if you child

requires an asthma management plan,

epilepsy plan or anaphylaxis plan can you

please ensure that these are prepared and

updated by your GP and returned to the

school. It is essential that if we have an

emergency that our staff have the most

current and in-date health care management

advice to ensure correct procedures are

followed and that we minimise risk to

students.

The school is recognising NAIDOC week.

NAIDOC Week is an Australian observance

lasting from the first Sunday in July until the

following Sunday. NAIDOC Week celebrates

the history, culture and achievements of

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

You will get to see some of the activities in

photos across this and other editions of the

newsletter next term.

Significant building works will be visible at The

Entrance North Campus during the holidays as

preparation for new buildings and

refurbishment finally get under way. This will

be a huge improvement, but we will need to

be patient over the next 12 months whilst all

work is completed without disrupting the

school programs. Once we have the

playground and COLA complete we can install

a new liberty swing. Significant grounds work

has made the Narara Campus look a lot better

and more garden improvements, fencing and

play equipment are in planning.

After the holiday break, staff will be attending

training on Monday the 22nd (Staff

Development Day) with students returning

Tuesday July 23.

The new reports should be with you and I

hope to receive your feedback and comments.

I am proud of the work and effort staff have

made in this huge endeavour and change.

I hope that all students and families have a

safe break.

Looking forward to working with everyone

again in Term 3.

Regards as always.

Matt

Voluntary School Contributions

Every public school asks for a small contribution towards the many

costs associated with education programs.

At Glenvale, we ask that parents contribute $35 per child each year.

This has not changed for many years and is very small in compari-

son to other schools, even though our costs can be much higher.

Please consider sending in the $35 as soon as you are able to do so;

a payment can be made via our webpage www.glenvale-s.schools.nsw.edu.au. Go

to the ‘Make a Payment’ tab and follow the links.

Many thanks to those who have already done so.

All donations to the school over $2 are tax deductible as Glenvale is registered

with the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift.

Term 3

Please return permission notes and information

regarding students ASAP.
