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.  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. There is a real culture building of mutual respect and care for others. 

As I said in my term 1 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 half way mark in 2024.

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. Please read the comments carefully and take note of the areas for improvement.  We really want to build that partnership with you. We welcome you to three way conferences on the 27th of June to ask any questions you might have of your child’s teachers. 

Covid/Colds/Flu

With the upcoming cold and flu season upon us and Covid still with us, the school wants to let parents, staff and students know what we are doing to keep everyone safe.

• Covid test kits are no longer supplied by the Department of Education. Families can contact their local Council or nearest pharmacy for tests.
• Masks are still available to staff and students. Please see Jo at the SEW office
• We will keep an eye on things like hand sanitizer and tissues, we are mindful that hygiene plays a very important role in keeping us all safe from infection.

 Please instruct any students who feel unwell to stay at home.

Rewarding good behaviors 

This year our focus has been on improving our attendance, to support this, we have continued with what worked last year with 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.

This term 2, 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!
