Principal's Message

GEPS Uncovered!

Yesterday 7 parents joined me for a Learning Walk through our school. We visited some classrooms, a teacher-planning session, a small-group intervention and even the office area. I asked the parents what they noticed and how it made them think or feel. 

These walks are an opportunity to build connections and to see learning through a parent's perspective.

I really appreciated the groups insights - and their willingness to offer their thoughts and opinions about our school and our learners. As a follow-up, I'll be working with the executive team to looks at some anti-bullying resources as well as some homework supports. 

A big thank you to Dounia, Danielle, Safieh, Kathleen, Manel, Marian, Phathiswa - and Leigh & Sarah.

Opportunities galore!

Over the past few weeks we have offered so many opportunities for our students to continue their learning beyond the classroom. 

• Year 6 went to Uni yesterday; 
• Kindy went to the farm; 
• Stage 1 made ice-cream using liquid nitrogen as part of a science incursion; 
• Stage 2 showcased their CTC work at an expo yesterday; 
• Stage 1 invited families to come and play with numbers; and 
• Dance and choir are gearing up for performing at the Opera House next week!

What a rich and full education we are supporting!

And - our Senior soccer team made the semi-finals!
