Principal Messgae

Welcome to week ten. This is an exciting last week for us.  Monday started with our successful Cross Country. 

Parent/Caregiver interviews were held yesterday.  This allowed parents/caregivers an opportunity to see how their children are performing in their first units of work in their new grade levels.  It provided opportunities to see where we can work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students.  Our term will conclude this Friday with our Principal’s Parade, Easter Bonnet Parade, Open Classrooms and Teddy Bear’s Picnic Celebration.  Our food program implementation has been extremely successful and all our students are benefitting from our Nude food initiative, fruit in classrooms basket, and now our celebration picnic.  Thank you to our Business Manager, Emma Gunn, who has been instrumental in making this program a success for our Calliope students.

Equity and Excellence

AEDC Data

  • The AEDC is a nationwide triennial census of early childhood development, captured as children transition into their first year of school.
  • Now in its sixth cycle since 2009, it is the world's most comprehensive dataset of its kind.
  • AEDC data supports schools to build an understanding about the context in which our students live and the broader factors that may be impacting student learning.
  • In March 2025, the Australian Government will release community, state and national AEDC 2024 data via the national AEDC website (https://www.aedc.gov.au/).
  • At this time, we will work with our community partners (e.g. ECEC services, ECDPs, local community organisations) and reflect on AEDC 2024 data to identify how we can work in partnership to support future cohorts of children in the local community.

ANZAC Day Commemorative Service

Calliope State School will hold it's ANZAC Day commemorative service on Thursday 24th April at 10am in the school Hall.  Parents/Care Givers are welcome to attend.

I wish all our families a wonderful break.  Time to refresh.  Looking forward to having all our families back for a short but busy Week 1 after the holidays.
