Assistant Principal Report

Hello everyone,

Year 3-6 male toilets

Unfortunately, we have recently been having issues with some students vandalising the male Year 3-6 toilets. These students are kicking or shoving the door to the cubicle while the door is locked. We have had to fix or replace this lock numerous times. Again, this has occurred and the lock requires replacing. The toilet roll holder has also been pulled off the wall and the toilet paper stuffed into the toilet. Money spent replacing these items could have been used to assist with resourcing other areas of learning.

I have spoken with the cohort to remind them about using the toilets for their intended purpose and then leave without damaging anything. It would be helpful if you could also have a conversation with your child if they are in this cohort, about being respectful of school property.

We understand and acknowledge that overall, a majority of our students are respectful of school property and do the right thing.

Pride and Integrity Raffle 

Arriving late to school can have a huge impact on your learning, especially if it happens often. Even arriving 5 minutes late every day adds up to 3 days of learning missed over the year! Arriving 30 minutes late every is the same as missing 18 days learning opportunities over the year. We encourage students to be at school on time.

In recognition of the students who are attending school on time, we have the Pride and Integrity raffle. This is to acknowledge the students demonstrating Pride and Integrity by being ready to learn each day.

Every student who is at school, and in their classroom, before the bell (9am) will have their name added to the class attendance box. So, if they are present every day of the week, on time, they will have 5 entries into the raffle. 

Their class teacher will draw one name from the class box on Friday morning, just after 9am. 

This person will then go into the whole school draw (this means one student from every class will be in the whole school draw) to be drawn at assembly that afternoon. 

The class winners for Week 4 were: 

FA – Zoe, FB – Viyona, 1/2A – Dilshaan, 1/2B – Icy, 1/2C – Tyler, 1/2D – Zoe, 1/2E – Kresdaf, 3A – Ethan, 3C – Leron, 4A – Ardian, 4C – Joshua, 5A – Havea, 5B – Emily, 5C – Shanvi, 6A – Ridham, 6B – Maddiison, 6C – Erika
