Principals' Message

What another action-packed fortnight we experienced here at Donvale! We celebrated our love of Literacy during Book Week - the Great Book Swap, Parade, cross aged Literacy activities and viewing a performance of 'Timeless", which won Picture Story Book of the Year.

Our 5/6 students participated in Hooptime, Foundation and Years 1 and 2 engaged in gymnastics at DISC and the 3/4 cohort went on camp to Phillip Island.  Please look through Snippets to see further details and photos of these great events.

Mrs Rassias and I had a wonderful time spending the day with the 3/4 students on camp this past Tuesday. It was great to see the children connecting and supporting one another as they experienced various activities like the Giant Swing and Flying Fox.  School camps offer children the opportunity to develop new skills and connect better with classmates and teachers - while boosting their physical and emotional health. 

Donvale Parent Opinion Survey 

Just a friendly reminder to provide your feedback via the Parent Opinion Survey. The survey will now remain open unit September 30th. 

Your opinions are important to us and will contribute to identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies. The department will use the results from the survey for research purposes and to improve outcomes for students. The survey will be conducted online and only takes 20 minutes to complete. 

It can be completed on any internet enabled device (desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and is compatible with most browsers. The survey is available in English and 10 other languages: Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

Please go to the Compass Newsfeed on My News for details on how to complete the survey.  We are unable to provide details here as Snippets is published on our website. We have pushed through another reminder today so it should be pinned to the top of your newsfeed. 

We thank you in advance for your participation.   Enjoy the weekend!
