Welcome back for Term 4!

I would like to start with a thank you to students, staff and families for the warm welcome to Solway Primary School over the past few days. It has been wonderful to spend time in learning spaces and in the yard learning all about this wonderful community. I look forward to meeting more of you in the coming weeks.

I would like to acknowledge that I enter this school, and am fortunate to continue the work of Lyn Rodda and, for the past term, Kate Nancarrow. Strong learning and wellbeing programs are evident in the school and that has been developed with passion and dedication across a long period of time.

Building relationships with students, staff and the community will be integral to my beginning work at the school. To support this, I would like to invite our community to join me in our school conference room at an informal ‘Meet the Principal’ morning tea that we will convene at 9:00am on following dates:

Friday 18 October – families of children in grades 5 and 6.
Monday 21 October – families of children in grades 3 and 4.
Thursday 24 October – families of children in grades 1 and 2.
Friday 25 October – families of children in grades Prep.

There will be no formalities at these sessions; I simply would like to get to know as many members of our community as quickly as possible. Tea and coffee will be provided, and I look forward to meeting many of you.

I will conclude my first newsletter with two key concepts that will be integral to how we work together. Firstly, I look forward to your ongoing support; your support of our school, your support of our students and your support of each other. I will also always expect the best of our students, staff and community. I will strive for excellence in everything we do at our school, knowing that excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

Thank you for your support and lets all strive to be “our best always”.
