Principal’s Report
Dear Families and Friends,
100 Days of School for our Foundation Students Yesterday our Foundation students celebrated their 100th day at school, which was very exciting! To celebrate this amazing achievement our students dressed up to look like centenarians and paraded around the basketball courts in front of their loving family members before continuing their celebrations in the Multi-purpose Room. Once everyone was back inside, I had the very special honour of presenting the students with some lovely personalised certificates and a delicious cupcake to celebrate their great start to their learning journey.
Being Ready to Learn This term we have been chatting to our students about the importance of being at school on time and being ready to learn by 9.00am each day. We have also implemented some strategies to assist our students in being ready to learn, including the playing of music before the bell, and marking the class roll at 9.00am, instead of 9.10am. To assist us in promoting our ready to learn culture, please remind your children that they will need to call into the Office to have their name marked off the role if they arrive at school any time after 9.00am.
Call for quotes from our ‘tradie’ families We have been allocated some funding through the Education Department to make some repairs to our older buildings and we are calling for quotes from any painters, plumbers, plasterers, carpet layers and electricians from within our community. If you are able to help, please download the Condition Assessment Scope of Works from Compass and then contact me to arrange a suitable time to inspect the buildings that require work. All quotes will need to be submitted to the school office before 4.00 pm next Friday 5th August.
Respecting Other People’s Property and Staying Safe Earlier this week we received a phone call from a person in our neighbourhood who has regularly witnessed our students taking ‘short cuts’ through another person’s property on their way home from school; or on their way to different sporting activities after school. Please have a chat to your children about respecting other people’s property and about the importance of staying safe by keeping on allocated walkways when coming to and from school.
Parent Opinion Survey Each year the school conducts an opinion survey of 15% of the school community. Parents are randomly selected to participate and we use the information to inform and direct our future planning and improvement. The survey is designed to take no more than 20 minutes to complete, and your feedback and opinions play an important role in making our school the best it possibly can be. If you received a survey earlier this week, please take some time to complete it and return it to school as soon as possible.
2017 Enrolments We are currently taking enrolments for next year’s Foundation students so if you haven’t already received an Enrolment Pack, please collect one from the school office. We would like to have enrolment forms returned to the office by the end of July to enable us to complete the Department of Education and Training Enrolment Census which needs to be submitted in early August. This census is used by the Department to allocate funding for the start of the school year, so it is important that we make an accurate estimation of the number of students we are likely to have next year. If you know of any children who will be enrolling in other year levels across the school in 2017, or of any children who are leaving the school next year, could you please let the office staff know as soon as possible, so that we can prepare for our upcoming Census.
Curriculum Day A Curriculum Day has been approved for next Wednesday 3rd August. Students will not be required at school on this day. Teachers will be participating in the Student Wellbeing Professional Learning Session on the KidsMatters Framework.
Uniform Reminders Thanks to the wonderful support of our families the transition over to our new school uniform is now well under way. To assist everyone in understanding what is, and what is not part of our school uniform, a brochure has been created and will be displayed on Compass, in the Office and in classrooms. A reminder notice has also been developed which will be used to remind families if children are out of uniform. I know that many families have found the transition over to the new uniform difficult financially, and I appreciate the support you have shown to the school throughout this process. If you need support in any way, please let me know so that I can be of assistance. Regards,
Cindi Bruechert
