Principal's Report

Dear Rockhampton North Special School Community,

 

It's with immense excitement and pride that we announce the official opening of our new E Block, to be graced by the Honourable Di Farmer, Minister of Education, on Thursday, 14th of March. This significant event not only marks the expansion of our school's facilities but also reinforces our commitment to providing the best educational environment for our students.

 

The new E Block is more than just a building; it symbolises the growth and development of our school community. As we celebrate this milestone, we also take this opportunity to reflect on the core values that make our school unique: Care, Courage, and Cooperation.

 

Care is at the heart of everything we do. In our school, caring means supporting each other’s learning journeys and emotional well-being. We encourage students to show empathy, be attentive to the needs of their peers, and foster an environment where everyone feels valued and understood.

 

Courage is about more than bravery; it's about stepping outside of comfort zones. This means students are encouraged to embrace new challenges, whether they're academic, social, or personal. Courage is shown when a student tries something new, participates in classroom discussions, and stands up for what is right.

 

Cooperation is fundamental to our school's spirit. We believe that by working together, we achieve more. This value is reflected in group projects, team sports, and collaborative learning experiences. Cooperation teaches our students the importance of teamwork, mutual respect, and collective effort towards common goals.

 

As our school family gathers to witness the opening of the E Block, we see these values in action. It's a collective effort made possible by the dedication and support of every member of our community.

 

We also want to remind our families about the Semester Overviews available on our school's website. These overviews are crucial in keeping you informed about the learning and activities planned for each classroom this semester. They are an excellent resource for understanding the educational journey your child will embark on, reflecting our school's dynamic and inclusive curriculum.

 

Let's embrace this exciting time with enthusiasm, reflecting on how far we've come and looking forward to the bright future ahead. The opening of E Block is just the beginning of many more achievements we will celebrate together, guided by our values of Care, Courage, and Cooperation.

 

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school's journey.

 

Kind regards,

 

Dehlia Dawson
