COMPASS to stay up to date on all happenings at our school.

school council initiatives that we have in the works.
Volunteer Thank You Afternoon Tea
We would like to invite all of our wonderful volunteers to a Thank You afternoon tea which will be held
in our staff room from 1.45pm – 2.15pm next Thursday 12th of December. You may have offered
support through being on School Council, attending an excursion, covering books in the library, cooking
at a BBQ, selling raffle tickets or helping out at Breakfast Club. Our students and staff would like to share
with you a small appreciation of our thanks by enjoying this time with you. Please RSVP to the office so
we know how many to cater for.
End of Year Student Reports
We have access to a fantastic online communication tool COMPASS which enables us to have a 1-stop-
shop for our school-home communication needs. If you don’t already have access to COMPASS, feel free
to come to the office and ask for your unique username and password for access. End of year student
reports will be made available directly through COMPASS during the last week of term. If you require a
printed report, you will need to request this through the office before Friday 13th December.
