Assistant Principal

Danielle Frost

That’s a wrap on Term 1… 

It is hard to believe that we are at the end of Term 1 for 2023. It has been a very busy term! We welcomed a new Principal, REC and staff members to our community and definitely hit the ground running with great gusto! We welcomed back familiar and new students and have had a wonderful start getting to know them. The Year 3 and 5 students and their teachers prepared for NAPLAN which took place in Term 1 for the first year. The teachers engaged in professional development in the areas of - 

 

  • High Impact Teaching Strategies 
  • Implementation of the new English and Mathematics syllabus’ 
  • Teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorder 
  • Developing Cultural Competence around Indigenous Australians 

 

Teachers have written plans and goals for individual students and we initiated our very first whole school social and emotional program - The Working Bees. We have had sporting success in various trials and the cross country carnival. We have students preparing musical items for the Eisteddfod and earnt a place for their artwork in the local Bondi Beach art competition.  The classrooms have been abuzz with learning that reflects quality teaching and high expectations. 

 

Our parent helpers have been in full force with assisting in programs MultiLit and the newest addition - JEMM (Junior Elementary Maths Mastery)... a HUGE thank you to all of our parent volunteers this term, without you, these programs wouldn’t be able to go ahead. 

 

Our school has been on display to show our wider community and potential enrolments what a wonderful school we are, and as the Assistant Principal, I couldn’t be prouder. 

 

Wishing you all a very safe and Holy Easter break. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday April 26 for the start of Term 2. 

 

School Uniform - Term 2 

The first couple of weeks of Term 2 are generally milder in weather so there is discretion for parents as to whether you send your child in summer or winter uniform for Weeks 1 and 2. By Week 3, all students are to come to school in their full winter school and sport uniform.
