2025 Principals’ Day

Last Friday, Springvale Rise celebrated Principals’ Day with warmth and gratitude. Our students expressed their appreciation to the Principal Team through heartfelt poetry, thoughtful stories, and beautifully handmade gifts. We all walked away feeling incredibly special and proud to be part of such a caring and generous community.

A very special thank you and Happy Principals’ Day to our amazing Assistant Principals Miss Carly Jamar (Inclusion and Wellbeing), Mrs Sarah Orme (Heights Campus) and Mrs Mirela Karup (Springvale Campus). You are superstars – thank you for everything you do!

2024 Annual Report to the School Community

It was wonderful to see so many of our parents/carers and extended family members attending our public meetings in Week 2 for the presentation of the 2024 Annual Report to the School Community. The report showcased the many achievements and progress made during the 2024 school year.

Based on the positive feedback received during the event and in the days following, it’s clear that our families feel confident and happy with the direction of our school.

Hard copies of the Annual Report are available at both school offices. Our MEAs are always available to assist with any questions or translation support you may need.

A big thank you to Mrs Sarah Orme and Mrs Mirela Karup for presenting on the day, and to all our MEAs and Education Support staff for their support with translation and catering.

Division Finals Success!

Congratulations to the Springvale Campus girls’ netball team for an outstanding performance at the Division Finals, where they secured first place and are now heading to the Regional Championships!

The team played with incredible skill, determination, and teamwork. A huge shoutout to Miss Hammond for her excellent coaching and for inspiring the girls to perform at their best.

Regionals, here we come!

2025 Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey

The 2025 Parent, Caregiver and Guardian Opinion Survey will be open for completion online from Monday 18 August to Friday 19 September 2025.

This important survey helps schools understand families' perceptions in areas such as school climate, learning and teaching, and student engagement. The results will guide us in identifying strengths and areas for improvement as we plan for the future.

Stay tuned for more information on how to take part.

Stay safe, take care and keep smiling.
