Parent Feedback for School Review

Thank you to those parents who have taken up the option to provide feedback on our school highlights over the past 4 year, as part of the school review process.

Any parent still wishing to include their highlights are very welcome to click on the link below. It is 2 simple questions.

Parents will be invited to attend parent focus group meetings in Term 3 as part of the review process, allowing them to have a voice in what things should be considered in our next School Strategic Plan 2023 - 2027. More information about this will come out early next term.

From the Principal

My apologies for this newsletter being a day late.

Last week we welcomed Mr Watts to our school. Mr Watts is now the teacher in 5/6A, for the remainder of the year. Mr Watts has come to us from Bacchus Marsh.

Some parents and students will have noticed that Ms Wendy isn't in the office anymore. We farewelled Ms Wendy to Ararat Secondary College. We wish her all the best in her new role there.

Well done to our 2 netball teams and our AFL team who competed in the Winter Sports program in Ballarat in the past 2 weeks. There was great team spirit and sportsmanship in all teams, and you represented the school with pride.

Our oval works have started, which means that we are now waiting for our irrigation to be installed, then the grass to regrow, and, fingers crossed, it will be ready for the students to play on straight after the winter months.

We have had a report from a concerned citizen regarding student riding and scooting without helmets. We ask that you continue to encourage your children to wear their helmet when reding and scooting. It is for their own safety.

As the colder mornings are now upon us, students are required to wear appropriate clothes for colder weather, including pants and jumpers. They are welcome to take jumpers off, as the day gets warmer. Please make sure all jumpers are clearly labelled. Beanies and Coats are encouraged on the real cold morning. These will be taken off in the classrooms.

Just a couple of reminders for parents and student
