School Review – November 11 to 13
On the 11-13 of November we will welcome our School Review Team from the Education Improvement Branch. The School Review Team will talk to our school staff, the P&C and will also engage with parents at pick up times in afternoons or may call.
Year 6 Graduation
We are very excited, with the easing of restrictions, to be able to hold Year 6 Graduation on Monday, December 7 from 5 – 6pm at Calliope State School. This event will be held outside on the grassed area outside the Undercroft near the main Administration building. A maximum of two adults will be allowed to attend from each family. Please, no children other than the graduating students can attend this event. Parents, guardians or adults attending the event will need to have registered with the CSS Year 6 Graduation event with Eventbrite. We envisage this ceremony will take about one hour. In the unfortunate event of rain/storms on this afternoon, the ceremony will be moved to an indoor event the next morning in the hall with no parents/carers able to attend. This difficult decision has been discussed and approved by our P&C association.
Student Code of Conduct – Parent Consultation
Thank you to all the parents and carers who have attended the afternoon parent sessions. This input from our community is invaluable to the process. The next opportunity for parent consultation will be at the P&C meeting on November 10 at 6pm.
World Teachers’ Day
Thank you to all our amazing teachers for their dedication to the teaching and learning of every Calliope State School student. We also thank the P&C for the lovely gifts.
Day for Daniel
Thanks to everyone for their support of Day for Daniel and the donations made through QKR. Thank you to the P&C for organising to collect the donations through QKR.
Feedback Welcome
Calliope State School is committed to ensuring that ‘everyone at Calliope State School is working together to ensure that every day, in every classroom, every student is learning and achieving’. We want to know from our parents, carers and students, what we are doing well, and if there are any areas we can improve on or do differently. You can give feedback at any time to a staff member, coming into the school office, or leaving a message in our Suggestion Box (in the office foyer). Please be respectful when providing feedback.
If you have a complaint we ask that you:
1) Arrange a time to speak with the class teacher as the first point of call.
2) If your concern is regarding the classroom teacher or a staff member, contact the office to speak with a Deputy Principal responsible for your child’s sector.
· Miss Raelene Norris is the P-2 Deputy
· Mrs Naomi Hughes is the 3-6 A/Deputy
· Mrs Rebecca Crapp is the A/Principal.
We ask that you refrain from using social media platforms to comment about issues or incidents involving our school. We have a great school with great students and staff and together we can continue to promote our school as a fantastic learning venue in our community.
Kind Regards
Naomi Hughes
A/Deputy Principal
