Principal's Report

Assembly

A big thank you to Ms. Fu for organising our special performance last week at assembly. The children were fascinated by the way the Chinese performer changed character with a swift move of his cape. (see photos and information from Ms. Fu in the 'Celebrating Student Learning' section of this newsletter)

Parent Information Sessions

I urge you to make this meeting a priority. By attending this Information Session, you are demonstrating to your children that school and education is important. You also get to meet their new teacher, and you get to know what is happening at school and how you can help your children with their learning.  

We always get a lot of parents attending for the youngest students but not as many for the older students. It is critical for parents to understand that the older students need your attention just as much as the younger ones.

For example it is important for parents to know about the following events: 

• Year 5 camp 
• Year 6 Secondary School process 

Your children should attend the Information sessions with you so you both hear the same information and so your children can take you on a guided tour of their classroom.

School Council

Join our School Council and make a difference in your child’s education – your voice matters! Tuesday the 18th of February will see the last meeting of our current School Council. Some of the members will continue their 2-year term and I am also calling for nominations for 3 vacancies for the next two years.  Join our fun and interesting meetings 8 times a year from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Sign up today and get involved. Please see office staff if you are interested. 

For Your Information

There is an adult male who has been seen in the vicinity of our school and the kindergarten behaving erratically and sometimes approaching parents at the start and end of the day. Authorities have been notified and we will continue to monitor the situation. He has not been in our school nor is he visible during the day.  Please contact the police if you have any concerns.

Year 6 Uniform

Our Year 6 students look fantastic in their special named tops, proudly showcasing their leadership and school spirit. Year 6 students have the opportunity to order uniform in the 2nd lot of orders which is due back to school by Friday the 28th of February.
