Principal's Report

Go Matildas!

I hope that you are all looking forward to watching the Matildas dominate the soccer world again tonight. I will certainly be shouting along!

We had a wonderful time today showing our support by wearing green and gold. Thank you to all who participated. I'm sure that all our positive vibes made it up to Stadium Australia to give them an extra boost!

School Uniform

Please ensure that your child is dressed in correct school uniform before they leave the house in the morning.

At this time of year, when there are very 'crisp' mornings, it is more than understandable that some students may wish to wear a jacket over their school uniform for an additional layer. This however is not to be worn for the entire day in a classroom, and also should not replace the school uniform windcheater or bomber jacket.

Students leaving Valkstone at the end of the year

If you know that your child is leaving Valkstone at the end of the year, please put this in writing to the school office as soon as you have confirmed your plans.

This will help us greatly with our 2024 planning. I know that it seems a little early, but I am already required to give projected student numbers to the Department of Education so that they can input this to determine our indicative budget. 

We use this information now for a lot of our forward planning, so any assistance you can provide us with would be very useful.
