Thank you to our families who are getting the good word out in the community about our school, word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising and consequently, we are fielding an increased number of inquiries about our school.

Parent Opinion Survey 

The DET annual Parent Opinion Survey will remain open until the 8th of September. Our school highly values the opinions of our parents and carers. Your responses assist our school to identify areas for improvement, plan for the future and also monitor our performance over time. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, student engagement and experiences of remote and flexible learning. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All responses to the survey are anonymous. 

Student Led Conferences

In week 9, on Tuesday 5th of September, the school will be holding student led conferences. On this day, students will be required to attend their conference with their parent/guardian to discuss and set learning goals, as well as celebrate success at school. This will also be an opportunity to discuss the academic and social/emotional learning progress of your child with your child's teacher. We value your engagement in this process and encourage all families to make bookings via Sentral once made available.

Book Week Celebrations & Special Persons Day
