Principal's update
Hello everyone,
Here is the newsletter for week seven.
The school is currently undergoing a School Review. Every four years state schools are reviewed on the performance against the four yearly School Strategic Plan (SSP). The review looks at whether the school met the goals and targets of the SSP and the enablers and barriers for those results. In the lead up to the review the school prepares a self-evaluation that is analysed at the review. Yesterday the review panel (a reviewer and fpur experienced people from other schools and the DoE) met here for the first day of the review. They visited classrooms, met with students, looked over the review data and discussed the review report. At the next review day on Tuesday the 11th of June the panel discusses possible future SSP goals for the school as it develops an SSP for the following four years. On this day the panel will invite school parents and carers in for a discussion to hear from you as well. This will most likely be at school drop off time, when we confirm the day's timetable I will share the details so interested people can attend.
Sport uniforms (soccer shirts)
Sport tops and shorts arrived yesterday. I will distribute them today to those who have ordered and already paid. If you haven't paid as yet, you can do so at the office and collect your shirt at the same time.
