Acting Principal's Report

Hello DPW Community,

Deer Park West Primary would like to share with our community, our new brand identity:

I have included a copy of the flyer with an explanation about the logo below.

Deer Park West Primary Brand Launch

100th Day of School

I’d like to acknowledge our Foundation students. Today is their 100 Days of School celebration! It’s amazing to reflect on how much they have grown over these last 100 days. I am disappointed that I will not be at work to watch all of them come into school at the start of the day, and all the excitement. I’m sure that there will be many photos taken and shared with families.

Uniform

I’d like to take this opportunity to advise DPW families that we will be introducing new school uniform shirts and jackets in 2027. The new uniform items will only be compulsory for 2027 Foundation students.

In the meantime, our uniform supplier Academy Uniforms on Robinsons Road, is holding a one-off sale for DPW families who may require uniform for their child/ren who have outgrown their current uniform. Please see the flyer below for the amazing discounts! All DPW students are expected to be wearing the school uniform every day.

The DPW school bag is also included in this sale. I do encourage families to purchase this bag as it comes with a lifetime warranty – this means that if the bag breaks at any time during primary school, it will be repaired/replaced at no cost to you! The DPW school bags are made to have plenty of room for take-home readers, lunches, jackets and a water bottle.

Volunteers

We will be requiring support from our school community over the next two terms. We anticipate having to pack-up and move items from our library for new carpet to be laid and needing volunteers to support with excursions (any year level). To volunteer, you will need a Working with Children Check and if you take part in any activities during school hours, you will also have to complete the school’s Volunteer Induction session. 

We are keen to create a list of volunteer availability to help us to know when to plan certain activities. If you have already completed the volunteer induction session, please call or pop into the office to let us know which days and times you should be available.

We truly appreciate any time and support our families give to the school. If you’re keen to help out, this is a wonderful way to get involved and make a positive impact.

A few date reminders:

• Today Foundation students’ “100 days of school” celebration
• Friday 31st July Foundation families’ afternoon tea 
• August 5th, 6th, 7th and 13th Teeth on Wheels
• Monday 10th August Curriculum Day (no students to attend)

• Friday 14th August Volunteer Induction Session

   

Kind Regards,

Deanne Scott

Acting Principal
