A Word from the Principal

Prep Information Night

Thank you to those community members who attended our Prep  information night.  Olivia, one of our school captains shared her school experiences, our school council president, Kirsty White, encouraged involvement in our school and Nishani from the PFA shared her role and support in the school.  It really does help to make a difference to welcome the new preps to our school and their families.

2020 Fees and Parent Contributions

The parent contribution documents have been distributed to all of our families. We do rely on student stationary and subject fees to deliver our curriculum and wellbeing programs at school. We are always most appreciative of the voluntary contributions as they support the development and maintenance of our school.  Please take the time to read the accompanying letter as it will outline some of the ways we have used the contributions.    We have continued to keep excursions/activities out of the parent contribution structure.  Therefore, parents are charged as the event occurs to ensure that we can cost each event accurately.  This has worked very well the last couple of year.

Parent Helpers Morning Tea

Just a reminder that you are invited to our special morning tea!   We really can not thank the amazing helpers and volunteers enough for their generous support and time that they give to our school.  This morning tea is a ‘tiny’ thank-you from the staff at Weeden Heights.  If you have time to come along then we would love to see you and thank you personally.

Whole School Transition Sessions

The school year is ending soon and one of the wonderful things that Weeden does is allow students to work in their class, classroom and potentially with their new teacher for a couple of sessions.  This allows for the teacher to begin some of the work for next year.  Their number one priority is to create a productive and positive learning community.  These transition sessions days are critical for students to be involved in.  Our sessions are being held on December 2 and 9 from 11.30 to 1.10pm.  Students will also have an opportunity to have lunch with their 2020 class which will further strengthen their relationships.  As we are a great size school and know each other well, it can also be about reconnecting with students who have previously been in the same class in a past year.

Christmas Concert

Hopefully you are hearing the sounds of your children rehearsing at home for the up-coming Christmas Concert being held at school on Thursday 12 December.  Please come along with your family to get into the ‘Christmas spirit’ and also to celebrate the achievements of the school and individuals.  The 2020 student leadership team will be announced as well.  It is always an exciting night and a great way for our community to come together once again!

Until next time,

Ms Kylie Campbell
