Principal's Message

The end of this term has crept up on us. It’s been a great term where staff and students have worked together to achieve some great things, including our recent harmony day celebrations, camps and excursions like Teen Mental Health and Whittlesea Technical School. 

There are many examples of student achievement at PLSC but the most important things is the way that staff and students treat one and another everyday.  We always value building mutual respect and care for others. 

As I have said in previous blurb, it is a pleasure to come to work every day, the staff and students are our greatest asset at PLSC and we are very proud of what they have achieved together at the end of term 1 mark in 2026.

Reports 

You will receive your reports via compass if you have not already and I hope you have taken the opportunity to join us at the three way conferences earlier in the year.  Please read the comments carefully and take note of the areas for improvement.  We really want to build that partnership with you.

School Council

We are still looking for parent representatives at school council. If you think you can make a contribution – I think we have said in the past that school council is a great way to have an input into your child’s school and to support teachers and non-teaching staff in schools – if you think you can make a contribution please contact Simone, Lisa or Karen at the school.

Buildings updates

We are hopeful without being over confident that we are a chance to get funding in the May budget to complete stage two.  We, like many other schools waiting in line around the state, would like to get on with finishing the school. Other than this, from here it’s just a matter of getting some grass on the dirt now at the front of the school.

Rewarding good behaviours 

This year, our focus has been on improving student attendance. To support this, we will once again be implementing the AAA+ Awards.

This stands for Attitude, Attendance and Achievement. We present tasty truck vouchers weekly and larger prizes at the end of the term for those students who attend regularly, do their work and do their best at all times.

In term 1, the student leadership team are actually going to lead the assembly to present these awards with Paul and the SEW team.

I hope all of our students have a great break and I will see them all back after the holidays refreshed and ready to go!
