Student Reporting - Parent Feedback Survey

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the educational experience for our students, we are once again seeking your invaluable feedback on our student reporting template. Following our most recent review in 2023, we aim to ensure that our reports effectively communicate your child's academic and social/emotional progress, and remove unnecessary 'curriculum jargon'.

Your Insights Matter

We understand that clear and meaningful communication is essential in supporting your child's learning journey. Therefore, we would like to understand which sections of the reporting template you find most valuable. Your insights will help us identify the areas that best convey your child's achievements and areas for growth.

Simplifying the Language

One of the key areas we are exploring is the reduction of 'curriculum jargon.' We recognise that educational terminology can sometimes be confusing, and we want to make our reports more accessible and understandable. Our goal is to provide a clear picture of what your child has been learning and how they are progressing, without the need for complex language.

How You Can Help

We kindly ask you to take 2-3min to complete a short survey.

Your feedback is important in helping us create a reporting template that truly meets the needs of our school community. We appreciate your time and effort in providing this valuable input.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can ensure that our reporting template is a useful document for all parents/carers.

CEPS Anzac Day Assembly

We are honoured to invite you to our upcoming CEPS ANZAC Ceremony, which will take place on Thursday, April 24th, from 3:00-3:15pm. This important event is a time for our school community to come together to remember and pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.

We are especially excited to welcome Captain Andrew Newman from the Australian Defence Force who will join us for this special occasion.

The ceremony will include:

Acknowledgment of Country
Speeches and reflections on the ANZAC spirit
A moment of silence to honour those who have served
The playing of "The Last Post" and "Reveille"

We look forward to seeing you there and sharing this important occasion with our school community. Additionally, there are Anzac Day Appeal items for sale including pens, keyrings wristbands and many more that range from $1 to $5. Cash only at the office.

Crazy Hair Day

We are thrilled to celebrate a huge milestone—our students have earned over 400 values tickets this term for consistently demonstrating our school values of Courtesy, Respect, Co-operation, and Responsibility. What an incredible achievement!

Every ticket represents a moment where a student made a positive choice, showed kindness, supported a peer, or acted responsibly in the classroom or playground. These daily actions, while sometimes small, add up to create a strong and respectful school community—and we are so proud of the way our students have embraced this.

To recognise and celebrate this amazing effort, we’re holding a Crazy Hair Day on Friday 4 April! Students are invited to get creative with their hairstyles. We can’t wait to see the colourful, wild, and wacky styles on display!

A big thank you to all of our students for living our school values every day, and to our staff and families for supporting and encouraging these positive behaviours. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Well done, everyone!

Duty of Care

After school, supervision concludes at 3:45 pm. A bell will ring at this time to signal that any remaining students who have not been collected must go to the office. Students who walk home independently must also leave the school grounds at this time.

Access to the buildings before school, recess and lunch is not permitted for students unless there are specific transition arrangements agreed upon by the Principal, where supervision arrangements have been made.

Term 1 Parent/Carer and Teacher Learning Progress Meetings

Our Term 2 Parent/Carer and Teacher Learning Progress Meetings will be held at the beginning of Term 2. Bookings will open on Monday 31st of March at 4.00pm and will close on Wednesday the 23rd of April at 4.00pm. Parent Teacher Conversations provide an opportunity to discuss your child’s Term 1 progress, and areas for growth. These conversations are a valuable way to strengthen the partnership between home and school. We encourage all families to attend and work with teachers to support their child’s learning journey. If you require a meeting with a specialist teacher, please Dojo them separately to arrange a convenient time.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Jared
