Principal's Desk

GIVE A LITTLE. FEED A LOT.

This year we are starting a new Meadows Primary School tradition and supporting the Salvation Army with a food drive. By coming together and acknowledging cultures in our community who celebrate Christmas, we are showing community spirit and respect for all. The Salvation Army Food Drive will make a difference to many struggling families this holiday season.

Students and families are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, which can be dropped off at the Christmas tree that we will be putting up in our Welcome Area on Monday 1st of December. The Salvation Army will come to collect all non-perishable food items on the 15th of December. Donations should be placed in the boxes labelled ‘Donations for the food drive’. 

PLEASE help make this food drive successful and bring along one item each. Examples of non-perishable foods are, canned foods, pasta, canned fruit, sauces, jams, spreads, rice, dried fruits, flour and anything else that will not easily spoil and is long lasting. 

Please do not remove any items once they have been placed inside these boxes under the Christmas tree.

The Salvation Army will collect and assemble all donated food items into food hampers for families in need and distributed during the holiday season. I encourage all students and families to participate in this worthwhile cause. 

Coming together as a school community is one of our greatest strengths and one that makes me proud to be Principal of Meadows Primary School. Let’s come together and make this kind gesture for the less fortunate whilst embracing the true spirit of Christmas.

I am please to announce the school review has completed and the report will outline our strengths and clearly identify areas for improvement. On December 8th 2025, I will meet with Natalie Toohey, our school reviewer, and other personnel from the Department of Education to discuss the reports findings and set new directions, including goals, targets, and key improvement strategies for the next School Strategic Plan.

ENROLLING @ MEADOWS PS

We are welcoming new families and carers to join our school community here at Meadows Primary School in 2026. Our inclusive environment supports every student to grow both academically and socially emotionally. 

Spread the word and help us build a diverse thriving school community where every child can shine.
