School Council

Hi Wales St community, my name is Marian Tosif and I have recently joined the school council as a parent representative. Our daughter Talula has started prep this year, and our three-year-old Enaya is counting down the years until she can join her. 

This month at school council we discussed the introduction of the UR Strong program at Wales St, including the engaging online workshop for families. There has been positive feedback from children, teachers and families, and I’m sure we’ll all be Friendship Ninja’s in no time!

Children across all years at Wales St have also been learning a new coding system to support their literacy, with a focus on the different sound that combinations of letters make, and a deepening understanding of how this relates to the spelling of words. I for one am noticing some major upgrades from my 90’s education. 

There has been much work happening around the school, with a freshen up of the Speight St building, and the fantastic new front garden being completed over the past few weeks. Look out for upcoming opportunities to contribute to the gardens around the school through our regular working bees. 

Finally, the Space School Disco was a wonderful success, with a huge effort from the Social Committee and all those who volunteered to make it such a fun evening. Thank you!

It has been wonderful to get to know the school community over the last 6 months.  I hope the school holidays are a refreshing break for your family!
