A Message from School Council President

—Lloyd Lazaro

Dear Parents and Friends of Rangeview

I’m not sure about you, however I feel as though this year has been stuck on fast forward and it’s hard to believe that 12 months have already rushed by.  That said, I know each of us will be able to reflect on the many achievements we’ve been a witness to; some disappointments and; perhaps even sadness – such is the complexity of life. 

Upon reflection, as a school community, 2019 has been yet another year of great achievement, and challenge – however I’m delighted by the continuous forward momentum we’ve realised both inside and outside the classroom and I’m reminded by the fact that no great accomplishment comes without risk and sacrifice.  Sure we’re far from perfect, however I’m always energised by our collective spirit of continuous improvement and self-belief.

We all need to take a moment to pause and reflect – to be proud of what we’ve achieved together – our deeds are our monuments.  As a school community, we continue to bring to life our strategic plan; continue to invest in our curriculum; infrastructure that provides the very best learning environments and enhances the experiences of our children, staff and us as a broader community.  That said, the more critical investments continue to be inside our learning environments – more specifically, in our children – resulting in new benchmarks in academic excellence; collaboration between our students, parents and friends and teachers and; attitudes and behaviours that positively impact outcomes – and all the while, immersed in enjoyment.

This time of the year is all about giving.  As a community we recognise that the world is bigger than the confines of our homes and suburbs - for everyone is fighting a hard battle, and if we really want to know, all we need to do is ask.  To that end, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your contribution that has collectively contributed to a tremendously successful year – you are the heart-beat of Rangeview Primary.  From class reading to the Production and everything in between - the gift of your time is invaluable.  I would also like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the staffing group to the holistic care and learning of our children.  In addition, I am grateful for the tireless contribution of each of our School Council Members for their diligent governance of the school and to all the contributions by our Parents and Friends of Rangeview – your efforts do not go unnoticed, so thank you.

I’m genuinely excited by what lies ahead in 2020 and beyond as our school continues to honour the past 25 years of great sacrifice and achievement, as we build for the future – flourishing and prospering together.

On behalf of my family I would like to extend to your family a very Merry Christmas and may you all have a peaceful, safe and enjoyable holiday season.

Best wishes

Lloyd
