Principal's Message
by Ms Reynolds
Happy Autumn!
Welcome back to term 2 and to another productive term. Already we have commemorated ANZAC day in a beautiful service last week. We also acknowledged Rawa in 1/2A with the Frank Ashton BEM ANZAC award.
This term:
- we started the term with a staff development day focused on Aboriginal Education and the work we are doing around Aboriginal reconciliation;
- work has begun on our garden and outdoor learning area;
- we've held a lovely 3-6 Cross Country;
- we had work done to refurbish our Sand pit;
- Stage 1 went to the theater to see Possum Magic
- Stage 3 visited the Sydney Zoo;
- we started a new Music program - called Amplify, which is exciting and engaging;
- and... we have a trip to Coonamble, Bell Shakespeare and a new canteen provider starting next week!
All while students have settled back into the classroom routines of literacy, numeracy, inquiry and developing their self regulation and self-directions as learners. No wonder most kids are keen to come to school each day!

In other news - we have a new leader of the Department of Education (Murat Dizdar) and a new Minister of Education (Prur Car). Both of them have committed to increasing the status of teaching as a profession; reduce admin workload so that teacher can focus on teaching; and take steps to address the teacher shortage. Already we have seen signs of these changes put in place. Stay tuned!
