Principal's News

Dear Parents/Guardians,

School Council Election

At the close of nominations on Monday we had received the following nominations for the 1 year parent positions:

Jenna Harvey

Brett Harris

Kylie Moroney

As the number of nominations is less than or equal to the number of vacancies, I declare all nominees elected to the 2025 School Council.

A huge thank you to our outgoing School Councillors for their contribution and time on our Council:

Dylan Cuttriss ( 5 years)

Emma Solomano (1 year)

Meg Beach (1 year)

Schools Clean up Australia Day 

Next Friday, 28th February, classes will be involved in the Schools ‘Clean up Australia Day Event’. We have classes cleaning the school grounds and others heading out into our community. Thank you to all staff involved in these activities, it is great to see our students out and about helping in the town. 

New School Award

Each week at assembly we will be awarding one student the 'Its cool to be kind' award. We are on the look out for students who are looking out for others, including others, encouraging others and helping those around them. We want to see students being 'Upstanders' not by standers when they see an issue. This award comes with a $25 RBN voucher courtesy of Community House. A shout out to Oakley Tarrant for this town-wide initiative and sourcing the funding.

School Review 

Our 3-day review process begins on Thursday 27th February. The Review looks at our progress, barriers and achievements against our current School Strategic Plan (SSP) and establishes a platform for the school to build a new strategic plan for the 4 years ahead. The school last undertook this process in 2020. This is a great opportunity to work alongside our students and school community and make plans for our school moving forward. There will be an opportunity for parents to contribute and have a say on Tuesday the 4th March at the parent forum. More information will be available regarding the time after Day 1.
