Principal's Update – Term 4, Week 3

It is hard to believe that we are already in Week 3 of our final term for 2026! The term is off to a busy start, with plenty of exciting learning opportunities and activities ahead as we make our way towards the end of another wonderful school year.

Kindy Open Mornings

It was lovely to welcome families to our first Kindy Open Morning last Wednesday. These mornings are a wonderful opportunity for our future students to become familiar with the school environment, meet staff and begin building friendships. We look forward to welcoming families back for our next two sessions on Thursday 29 October and Friday 6 November.

2026 School Opinion Survey Results

We are delighted to share some wonderful results from our recent 2026 School Opinion Survey. The feedback highlights the positive, supportive and inclusive learning environment we strive to create at Moonie State School.

Some of our fantastic results include:

Parents and Caregivers

100% agreed that the school has a strong sense of community.

Students

100% agreed that student behaviour is well managed.

Staff

100% agreed that students are treated fairly.

Everyone

100% agreed that Moonie State School is a good school.
100% agreed that expectations and rules are clear.

These results are something our entire school community can be proud of! Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. Your feedback is greatly valued and helps us celebrate our successes while continuing to identify areas for growth and improvement. At Moonie State School, we pride ourselves on being a small school with a big heart, and these results reflect the strong relationships and sense of belonging that make our school such a special place.

QParents

From 20 October, QParents will have a refreshed look, clearer navigation and new features to make it easier to use.

These include a to-do list for all children, improved views for families with multiple children, a combined timetable, easier access to consent requests and the option to pay multiple invoices at once.

QParents app users must update the app to continue using it. If automatic updates are on, the app will update automatically. Website users do not need to take any action.

A Busy Term Ahead

Term 4 is always an exciting time at Moonie State School, with students continuing to work hard in the classroom while also preparing for end-of-year celebrations and swimming lessons and swimming lessons are beginning this week.

As we move through the term, I encourage all students to continue demonstrating our school motto, Pride in Achievement, by giving their best effort, showing resilience when faced with challenges and taking pride in their learning.

Finishing the Year Strong

Although the end of the school year is approaching, there is still plenty of important learning to be done. Regular attendance, positive attitudes and consistent effort remain essential. I encourage families to continue supporting their children with routines that help them arrive at school ready to learn each day.

Thank You

A big thank you to our dedicated staff, supportive families and wonderful community members who continue to contribute to our little school. It is through these strong partnerships that we can provide such valuable opportunities for our students.

Kind regards

Mrs Anna Jones
