Principal's Message

By Jenny Hassett

Mother's Day Stall

Many thanks to the group of mothers last Friday who gave up their time to organise and sell our Mothers Day gifts. It was extremely busy as students searched through the wide variety of gifts. Thank you to those generous failies who were able to donate towards the stall. The stall made over $1100 and this money will go towards the redevelopment of our ouside grounds. Without our group of volunteer parents these fundraising events would be extremely difficult - again may thanks to each parent for their work.

I hope all our mothers had a great day on Sunday and were able to spend quality time with their families.

Many thanks to Paul Cornell who kindly donated the prize for the Mothers Day raffle - a very generous offer. The prize was won by Kane Hathaway - I am sure Kane's mum would have been a happy mum on Mothers Day!

Attitude to School Survey

We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement, wellbeing and quality instruction and are conducting a survey to find out what your child thinks of their school.

The AtoSS is an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education to assist schools to gain an understanding of students' perceptions and experience of school. Students will be asked about their thoughts and feelings in relation to their school, their learning, peer relationships, resilience, bullying, health and wellbeing, physical activity, and life in general.

This year, the AtoSS will be conducted at Rollins from 22nd May 2023 – 26th May 2023. Students in Grades 4,5 and 6 will have the opportunity to participate.

Prep Enrolments 2024 - Important

Please if you have a sibling of a current student needing enrolment next year  we ask that this is submitted as soon as possible to give us a clear indication of potential numbers and class sizes. We have limited spaces in Prep and we have a waiting list of families out of zone who desperately wish to occupy a space for 2024.
