Dear Parents/Caregivers

Thanks to Christine Johnston, our staff and our students for making the Year 6 camp great! Feedback from staff, students, the camp operators, when our students were on activities and the general public gave encouraging feedback about our Calliope State School students.

 I am writing this as transition days are on at Calliope State High School for our year 6 students. A great way to see a snippet of high school life for our children.

 Just like to drop another sincere thank you, to our parents on two fronts. The interactions I have at the front of the school at the end of the day, are cool, and the parents who make such an effort to come to our Friday assemblies. I realise that there are so many parents with other obligations that make attending not feasible. To the parents who have some time in that time slot and use it to come to our assemblies I just want to say thank you.

 We have experienced a lot of wet days this term. This is a heavy lift on our staff and students, because everyone on the wet days has less open space. I appreciate the staff and students working with us to make the wet days as good as possible for everyone on deck.

 I am looking forward to the last week and a half at Calliope State School. Moira Mackenzie returns to her role as Principal for 2023 onwards from leave. The school community has worked through the last two years so well with the changes that happened during that time, and having Moira back will keep building on the work in classrooms and break times.

 Have a great rest of your week

 Kind regards

Pete Stansfield
