Principal's Message

Mrs Kaileen Carr

Thank you to all the parents who attended our Parent Writing forum on Tuesday evening. We love that you are supporting your child and hope that you got a few tips to help you support your child at home to improve their writing skills.

 

I am looking forward to sharing a bacon and egg roll with all the fathers/grandfathers tomorrow at breakfast. If you are able to give up a little time in the morning to help I am sure the P&C would love to see you.

 

Over the next term we will be undertaking a Situational Analysis of our school as we move into writing our new school plan for the next 4 years. We would love as much feedback from parents as we can get to support this process. I will be sending out parent surveys and making myself available for any feedback or suggestions that you may have. I will keep you informed when and where these sessions will be held.

 

NAIDOC Celebrations - Friday 8th September we will hold our NAIDOC Celebrations. We will commence with a whole school assembly at 9:30am. After the assembly activities will begin for the whole school and will continue for the remainder of the day.

 

I would like to wish our Concert Band and Recorder Ensemble  all the luck in the world for Tuesday and Wednesday next week as they perform at the Bathurst Eisteddfod. 

 

Eglinton Public School attendance as at 31st August 2023

Last Week: 90.9%

This week: 90.8%

Goal: 95%

Did you know that for your child to achieve an attendance rate of 95% each term they should have no more than 2 days off. 

 

You can check your child's attendance rate on the Sentral Parents App. Click on their photo, select 'Student Details' and click on 'Attendance'. Our expected student attendance rate is above 95%. To maintain an attendance rate of above 90% a student should have no more than 5 days off a term. 

 

Thank you for supporting us in reaching our attendance goal. The data above shows our current student attendance for the last week. Please ensure you contact the school via the Sentral Parent Portal if your child has a day off to explain their absence.
