Principal's Report
Principal's Message
Strategic Planning
During Term 4 this year we will be completing a situational analysis in order to identify our strategic focus for the next 4 year plan. Having achieved so much success with student wellbeing and academic outcomes our energy and investments will largely stay the same.
The main adjustment will be energy and resources directed towards high school transitions. Transitions to high school will start at a younger age and a strategic partnership with Toormina High School is already being developed. This will include shared professional learning and our Boambee Public School teaching and executive staff being present within Toormina High School to a much greater degree. The result will be that our students will have more successful transitions to high school.
Our community of schools is developing a team to join us on this journey, this team will provide parent and student voice. Please join us for our next P&C Meeting on October 23 if you wish to have your say. Paul Humphrey, the Toormina High School Principal will join us for this meeting. The P&C meeting starts at 6 pm in the Boambee Public School office. Please lock this in your calendar.
Father's Day Breakfast
It was fantastic to host a huge crowd of Boambee families for the Father's Day breakfast. We were blessed with more great weather. Thank you to all of the staff who helped cook and prepare 200 + bacon and egg rolls. Special mention to Sam Bull in the front office who is continuing to provide reliable and thorough support for our special events and our educational delivery from the front office.
Disco Time !

Home Learners
Congratulations to these Stage 3 Learners. These students have been recognised for their efforts to extend their learning at home. This is a life changing choice and every one of these students will enhance their academic progress as a result. They have been rewarded with a $20 book voucher from the Book Warehouse.
Interviews
If you did not get a chance to meet with your child's teacher as part of our interview process please make contact with them via Seesaw to book another meeting time. The more informed you are of your child's learning goals the more you will be able to help them at home.
