Deputy Principal's Message 

Uniform 

Ben Venue teachers and students highly value the wearing of our school uniform. It helps to build a sense of pride, identity and connection with the school community as well as self-confidence and equity among all students. 

Our uniform policy is a 'multiform' policy, where students may choose from any of the clothing listed below. All school uniform items must be non-branded. Students in 3-6 who have represented the North West Region in sport are able to wear their NW jackets on Fridays only.  

Please ensure all items of clothing are clearly labelled so that lost items can be returned to their owner. It is particularly important that jumpers are labelled as the cooler months approach.  

All season options for all students – Multiform.

Tell Them From Me Survey 

Students in Years 4 to 6 will be participating in the first round of the Tell Them From Me Survey this week. Round 1 of the survey asks students about a range of school experiences, including their engagement and wellbeing at school and beyond. It also asks students about teaching practices and the learning environment. This information is highly valuable and can be used to identify school strengths and successes, as well as areas to target for improvement. Information about the surveys and opt-out consent forms were sent home last week. Please ensure your child has returned their note by Tuesday 16 March if you do not wish them to participate. Further information on the surveys can be found here.
