Student Opinion Survey - Years 4 to 6
The Attitudes to School Survey is an annual student survey for Year 4 to Year 12 students offered by the Department of Education to assist schools in gaining an understanding of students' perceptions and experience of school.
Our school will use the survey results to plan programs and activities to improve your child's schooling experience. Students from Years 4, 5 and 6 at our school will participate in the survey in the next few weeks. All responses to the survey are anonymous. The survey results will be reported back to the school at the end of July.
Our students will complete the survey between 18th May and the 12th June. Parents of students in Years 4 to 6 will be provided with more information closer to the survey date.
ANZAC Day
Last Friday we held our school’s ANZAC Day Ceremony. Like the public events, our ceremony is simple and quite traditional.
ANZAC Day is a commemoration of significance not only because of the great sacrifices of World War 1, but also because as a result of World War 1 we have defined what we see as the character of modern Australia and the qualities that we see as important for us all as Australians - courage, bravery, endurance, determination, mateship and service.
ANZAC Day has come to represent so much more than the landing at Gallipoli, on this day we honour all the men and women who have participated in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations around the world and take time to reflect on and appreciate their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families.
I’d like to thank all the students for the respect they showed at such an important commemoration. I’d also like to thank our School Captains for their respectful leadership of our ceremony. Thank you to our parents who stayed to join in our ANZAC Day assembly.
2025 Year 6 Trip to the Northern Territory
On Saturday 9th May, 25 of our Year 6 students will embark on a trip to the Northern Territory to visit the Yipirinya School and Uluru, accompanied by Robyn James, Cadell Duke and James Prantzos. Ben Parker will be leading the school during this time.
This is a nine-day trip, where our students will learn in the classrooms with the indigenous students at the Yipirinya School, visit some significant places around Alice Springs and visit Uluru for two days.
