Arriving at School

As we near the end of the term, we would like to remind parents and students to arrive as close to the start of the school day as possible.  The first bell rings at 9:00am with formal learning beginning at 9:10am.  Students will only be allowed to access the oval from 8:30am.

Early Departures

We would like to remind families that signing students out early should be the exception rather than the norm and that a valid reason needs to be provided.  Our office staff are being overwhelmed with a massive increase in the number of early sign outs.  We understand that this is sometimes unavoidable.  Please consider if an early sign out is essential.

2020 School Opinion Survey and Schooling During COVID-19 Survey

Parents and Caregivers are invited to participate in this year’s School Opinion Survey and have a say about schooling during the COVID-19 lockdown.  You are also given the opportunity to provide feedback about our school more generally. Remember that when answering the questions, it is about the 2020 school year.

Participation in the survey is anonymous and you are encouraged to take this opportunity to have your say.  The survey form has been designed so that it can easily be completed on a computer or smartphone. The online survey will be available until Friday, 17 July 2020, and should take less than five minutes to complete.

Thanks to our AMAZING Cleaners.

Visiting Classrooms

It has been wonderful to be able to visit our Year 6 classrooms as they have been learning about the differences in each decade.  They have been engaging in some investigative and experiential learning to provide some insights into each decade to inform their letters they will be writing in English.  Our students are very lucky to have teachers and staff who go above and beyond in providing these amazing learning experiences.

Feedback

We are always open to feedback as this helps our school to continuously grow and improve.  There are many appropriate ways to provide feedback to our school and we appreciate the time and effort people have taken to ensure they are using these avenues.  At the moment we have modified some of our avenues for providing feedback.  The most effective way in this present situation is to email our admin@calliopess.eq.edu.au email address or via a phone call.
