Week 7 Term 2

Attitude to School Survey

Over the past week the students in Year 4 have completed the Student Attitude to School Survey. This survey is completely anonymous and the data collected is invaluable in understanding the student perspective of our school and assisting us to improve the school environment. Data collected includes how students feel in relation to their school, their learning, peer relationships, resilience, bullying, health and wellbeing, physical activity, and life in general.

The Year 5 and 6 students will complete the survey next week.

Thank you!

A huge thank you to the Year 5/6 Team (Billy, Carlye, Jesse and Kara) and Sam, Olivia and Ben for taking our Year 5/6 students to Camp last week. Going to Camp is a huge commitment and we appreciate the time that these staff have dedicated to ensure that our students have a fantastic experience.

Congratulations to Carlye and Chris for being successful in being offered teaching positions in Dubai. Carlye, Chris and their children Sunny, Winnie and Rex will be moving to Dubai for 12 months and will be dearly missed. This is an amazing opportunity for their family and we wish them all the best. They will be leaving us mid-August and are busily organising their family in readiness for this new adventure. We are currently in the process of recruiting to fill Carlye and Chris’ positions whilst they are away.
