Staying Connected Through Seesaw

At Deer Park West Primary School, we are continuing to use Seesaw as a key platform for communication and sharing learning between school and home.

Students are regularly posting samples of their work on Seesaw, allowing families to see what they’re learning in the classroom and celebrate their progress. This not only helps strengthen the partnership between home and school but also builds student confidence and pride in their achievements.

We encourage all families to regularly check Seesaw and take a moment to share positive feedback with your child. A simple comment like “I’m proud of you” or “Great effort on your writing” can make a big difference to a child’s motivation and self-esteem.

If you need any support accessing or using Seesaw, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or visit the school office—we’re here to help.

Foundation 2027 Enrolments – Opening Monday 20 April

We are very pleased to share that Foundation 2027 enrolments are now open. From now, families can collect an enrolment pack from our school office, which includes everything you need to get started.

Our school continues to be a place where children feel safe, seen and supported—and where high‑quality learning really thrives. We are incredibly proud of our strong academic results, which reflect not only the hard work of our students but also the expertise and commitment of our staff. Our focus on high expectations, targeted teaching and building confident, capable learners means our students make excellent progress year after year.

If you are new to our school community, we warmly welcome you to join us for a school tour. Visiting the school is the best way to see:

• Our engaging learning spaces and calm, purposeful classrooms
• How our teachers support academic growth through explicit instruction and rich learning tasks
• Our strong wellbeing focus and inclusive school culture
• The outdoor play and learning environments that our students love

Most importantly, a tour gives you a feel for the sense of connection and pride our students have in their school. Tour dates can be found in the Calendar tab of the newsletter. 

We look forward to welcoming you, showing you around and sharing what makes our school such a supportive, high‑achieving and nurturing place for children.

Kind regards,

Joshua Fielding
