From the Principal's desk

I have again been amazed by the quality of the debates that have occurred over the last couple of weeks. I look forward to 'round two' of both the 5/6 and 3/4 teams beginning this week. Thank you to all of the families that have come along to support the students. 

2024 Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey

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. Please see the Compass message for the link and more information.

Parent/Student/Teacher interviews

The Parent/Student/Teacher interviews for Term 3 will be held on Thursday the 22nd of August. Students will not be required to attend regular school on that day, however, are expected to attend the interview with their parent/guardian. Bookings for the interviews will open on Thursday the 15th of August for parents to book in. 

Victorian State School's Spectacular

The Victorian State School's Spectacular is a fabulous opportunity for our students to be part of. Our next rehearsal is on Wednesday 28th of August, with production week starting on Thursday the 12th of September. Please see the Compass email/event regarding staying with staff on the Thursday night. Tickets to the show are sold through Ticketek and now open.

 2025 Prep Enrolments 

Enrolments for 2025 need to be finalised to allow us to start planning for 2025. If you are a

current family with a child at Numurkah PS who will commence Prep in 2025 please pick up an enrolment pack from the office and return as soon as possible. 

If you know of anyone looking to enrol at Numurkah PS for 2025 or still undecided, please encourage them to give the office a call or come in for a chat and a tour of the school.

Canberra Camp

Thank you to all Year 5 and 6 Families who returned an expression of interest and deposit for the Canberra Camp in Term 4. Families can make additional payments towards the camp throughout term 3, if they wish. 'Centrepay' can also be organised to help with progressive payments towards camp, please come into the office if you need any support in setting this up.
