A Message From Anna 

12!

It must be the week for the Number 12 (Swifties get it!) as we are now only 12 Birds away from a Whole-School Celebration Day! Congratulations to all our students for displaying so much Compassion,  Ambition, Courage and Creativity!

They're Poets and they Know it!

Highlighting some of our Ambitious and Creative students, I had the joy of listening to some poetry written by some very talented students in 5/6A this week. Thank you to Alexandra, Kieva and Hugo for sharing their exquisite poems with me. I was blown away by the emotion, imagery and depth of their prose. 

Rotary Speech Competition

It's been quite a week for Kieva, who on Tuesday evening competed at the Rotary Speech Competition with students from many local primary schools. As one of the only Year 5 students to reach the finals for the speech competition, we were exceptionally proud of Kieva, who managed to place FOURTH out of so many other students (most of them Year 6s!) 

Congratulations Kieva, we are so proud of you!

WE WANT OUR PARENTS / CAREGIVERS / GUARDIANS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK! 

Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey 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 and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results to assist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies. 

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open online from Monday 18 August to Friday 19 September 2025.

All families are invited to participate in the survey.  

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones.

The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages including Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese. Resources are also available in additional languages to assist parents / caregivers / guardians who speak a language other than English at home. Please reach out to your child’s teacher, or the school directly for survey guides in your language.

Please contact the school office if you would like more information.
