Hello everyone,

It's Disco time!!

More information and permission will be sent out via Sentral. It is important that you bring your child /ren to the multipurpose room and sign them in, and then at the end of the disco, you must come to the Nettle st entrance of the Multipurpose room and sign them out. Also, please be aware, we can't give permission for other adults to take your child/ren home from the disco 'on the spot'. If you make an arrangement with another parent/family to collect your child from the disco, you must let us know in advance.

Parent/Carer 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 behavior, 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.

Keep an eye out for the link, which I will email to parents/carers next week.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

warm regards,

Carolyn.
