100 Days of School

We enjoyed a major celebration today, 100 days of school for all our delightful Foundation students. All the students were encouraged to come to school dressed as something that had a theme of 100 and/or Space. The students were engaged in a range of classroom activities based on ‘space’. Thank you to our great Foundation team for organising this special memorable event.

2024 Parents/Caregivers/Guardians Survey

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents/caregivers/guardians think of our school. The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education that is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

All parents/caregivers/guardians are invited to participate in this year’s survey. The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey will be open from Monday 5th August to Friday 23rd August 2024. A direct link to the survey will be sent to parents, carers, and guardians via Compass on Monday.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the survey period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones. The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages. Please we would like as many parents as possible to fill in the survey. Thank you.

Science Week

We have an exciting special event planned for the whole school to celebrate Science Week. The Liquid Nitrogen Show is a whole school event coming to school on Wednesday 15th August. This show is a thrilling demonstration of physics and chemistry suited to primary age students.

Pupil Free Day

Finally, a reminder that tomorrow Friday 2nd August is our Pupil Free Day. The teachers will be working again with Dr Ange Rogers on Numeracy. Ange is a former primary school teacher, Numeracy Leader and Numeracy Intervention teacher. She is passionate about Maths Education and currently works part-time at RMIT University in Melbourne. She also has an online mentoring and PD program called the Numeracy Teachers Academy.

Have a great fortnight.
