Principal's Report

As we close the doors on Term 2, 2019 at 2:30pm on Friday, I think that we should look back and congratulate ourselves on what has been a hugely busy, but majorly productive term.  Over the last ten weeks we have: 

• Participated in NAPLAN
• Held our open learning evening
• Held leadership, teacher and Integration Aide Performance Reviews
• Delivered the second of our new Progress Reports to families
• Written Mid Term Reports

I would like to thank our teachers on your behalf for all of their hard work and commitment our students.

As always our school is only as effective as the community members who support it.  This term the parents involved have completed many essential tasks that support the smooth running and continuous improvement of CHPS.

• Our 2019 School Council under the Leadership of Mary Field and the Education Sub Committee have been evaluating our current homework policy with the support of teachers and families who responded to our survey
• Buildings and Grounds held an extremely successful working bee
• The Finance Committee has worked hard to ensure our funds are supporting the key programs in our 2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan
• The Parents and Friends Association has really kicked goals with the highly organised and successful events they have held so far this year with accumulated funds 2018 to 2019 (not including the Trivia night and Fun Food Day) of $43,000 towards the air-conditioning needed for the rebuild of the main building
• Parent Helpers have enhanced our classroom programs by supporting the learning of all of our students

All of our hard work is definitely paying off as we currently have enrolments for Four Foundation classes in 2020.

On behalf of our staff I wish you all a safe and happy term break.

Ms Jane Satchwell, Principal
