I look forward to working with our new School Captains in 2020. Being selected as a School Captain is a rigorous process, sometimes more rigorous than when we, as adults, apply for a job! The students who applied were required to write a speech as to why they thought they would make a good School Captain and present this to the Year 5 cohort, approximately 120 students and teachers. I know that our new School Leaders will make us proud!

Stepping Up to 2020

On Wednesday 18th December, our students will spend some time with their new teacher and class for 2019 from 9:30-10:45am. Teachers have now been allocated which year level they will be teaching as follows:

Please remember that requests for certain teachers for your child/ren will not be entertained, therefore no appointments to discuss this with me will be made.

I am looking forward to seeing our Year 6 students Graduate next week. This event is a celebration of their time at Greenvale Primary School and a farewell to the next stage of their schooling.

In advance, I would like to say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 students who have made us so proud. They have been an amazing group and have really demonstrated that “Greenvale Kids are Great Kids”! We wish them all the best for their secondary schooling and hope that they come back and visit us when they can.
