Families of Wyndham Vale Primary School

Thursday 8th of September, Wyndham Vale Primary School will be celebrating R U OK? Day!

R U OK? Day, is an annual day to promote engagement and connection between all people within your community. It is about inspiring and empowering everyone to start a conversation with another person in your world who may be struggling with life’s pressures. It is not about being an expert, it’s about reaching out to each other, to offer support as a conversation could change a life.

On Thursday 8th of September (Week 9), as a whole school community, we will celebrate and recognise R U OK? Day, by wearing a splash of yellow! – this is to be one item of clothing being worn with the whole school uniform, such as a yellow t-shirt, cardigan, jumper, a headband, ribbon, or another accessory. 

To promote R U OK? Day, on Thursday 8th of September students will be encouraged to ask the question “are you ok?” and learn about the importance of being a listener through a learning activity within the school day.

We encourage you to also have a discussion with your household about R U OK? Day, how being a good friend and a great listener can make such a difference to someone who needs it. If you seek more information about R U OK? Day; please visit https://bit.ly/WVPSRUOK; if you require more information about our school event, please make contact with your student’s classroom teacher.

Thank you

 2022 Parents/Caregivers/Guardians Opinion Survey

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Guardians,

Wyndham Vale Primary School is conducting a survey to find out what parents/caregivers/guardians think of our school. The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. A random sample of approximately 30 per cent of parents/caregivers/guardians have been selected to participate in this year’s survey. The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey will be conducted from Monday 15th August to Friday 16th September.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the fieldwork period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. The online survey will be available in a range of languages other than English. These include: Arabic, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Chin (Hakha), Hindi, Japanese, Somali, Turkish, Punjabi and Greek. If you would like more information, please don’t hesitate to make further contact.

Kind Regards,

Sal Farfalla Survey Co-Ordinator.

If you need to collect your child before school ends

Please note that the best time to pick up your child from school early is while they are still in the classroom. It is very difficult for us to locate your child while they are in the yard during recess and lunch. 

All late comers need to go straight to Ms. Dalton to be signed in.
