Welcome to Week Nine of Term 4.

Last Friday I had the pleasure to attend our Community Christmas Carols.  Our students did our school proud.  A huge thank you to Laura Kale who prepared and motivated each grade level for their performance.  Thank you also to Grace Rackemann and Chris Allen who have worked with our instrumental students throughout the year.  It was great to see them perform at this public event.  The rotary club worked tirelessly to create this event and it was a great time for the community to come together and celebrate the upcoming Christmas period.

Everyone is looking forward to our P&C Raffle draw this Friday on assembly.  Make sure you get your tickets in.  There are some amazing prizes.

This week students are enjoying their swimming carnivals.  Year six transitions occurred earlier in the week and we welcome our new preps for 2024 into our school for open days.  Next Monday, our year six students will celebrate their final year of primary school at their Graduation on Monday night.

Staff and community have been positive with our school working with the Resilience Project and the 2024 School Wellbeing Program.  The Resilience Wellbeing Program has had proven impact in previous years.  We have had further meetings and are excited about how this project will impact positively on all our students, staff and community.

Please remember to register for the Department’s QParents App.  You will be able to securely access information about your child/children.  This is also how you will be able to give website consents for your child/children with immerging technological initiatives.

A Factsheet about QParents is included in this newsletter.  Please see our administration staff for assistance. (Shan edit this as needed if you have sent out codes etc).

Each week I focus on an aspect of Calliope’s Student Code of Conduct.  This I have included our connections between Student Learning & Wellbeing.
