Principal's Report

Dear parents, carers and kin,

It's Friday and we are already at the end of the first week of term 4.  I hope everyone had a great break. We had some good weather and there were plenty of things to do. As has been the case lately the start of the term has been smooth with the students and staff happy to be back onsite.  With another busy term ahead the students and staff are refining their concert items.  Don’t forget to buy your tickets online for the big night.  Next Friday 14th October there is the Melbourne puppet kerfuffle.  PLC2 has already started their community access program,  senior basketball started back today and these are just a few. Planning on the new building works continues with regular meetings with the architects and it is very exciting.

Other important messages you may have missed...

Changes to transport

We sometimes have changes made to transport arrangements for students.  This can result in some last minute changes so that students access the correct bus, or are at the back gate for parent pick up.  The office staff does a great job of managing student transport.  Please help us keep transport operations running smoothly by contacting the main office by 2:45pm each day if there are any changes to how your  son or daughter is getting home from school.

Teacher communication

Communication channels between home and school became much more open and regular over the past two years.  This is a direct result of the pandemic and the periods of remote learning that required close contact between teachers and parents.  Good communication between home and school and strong relationships between parents and teachers is key to positive student outcomes.  Current email and other electronic communication can blur the lines between our working lives and home lives.  As a staff, we've discussed having boundaries and limiting parent communication after hours unless it is an emergency or a critical matter.  Please support us by communicating with teachers between 8:00am and 5:30pm.  Or if you are emailing outside of those hours, please accept that you may not get a reply until the next day.
