Acting Principal's Report

Mr Chris Grimmer

Great Additional Shade!

This week our new shade sails were put up near the Blue Learning Centre and along the edge of the undercover basketball courts. In summer they will provide some much needed shade for students who are using the down ball courts or just looking for a shady spot to sit with friends. Thanks to Mr Morgan for taking on this project in Mr Cupper’s absence and Gazebo & Shade Centre for completing the job so efficiently.

Student Free Day Reminder

A reminder to parents that school council approved a student free day for Monday 9th September.  There will be no school for any of  our Prep to Year 10 students on this day.  Staff will be involved in professional learning that focusses on the work of our Professional Learning Communities that have been established across the school. This will form part of our preparation for the whole school review in Term 4.

System Leaders Workshop

I will be in Melbourne tomorrow to attend the WISE: System Leaders workshop that will focus on ‘Creating Excellence in Classrooms’ through a Community of Practice approach. This work will be valuable for our school and also the network of schools across the Northern Mallee. The ability of staff to learn from each other within and beyond our school is vital for our whole school improvement.
