Principal's Piece
Welcome to Week 4! It has been an exciting and busy time in the school as our students settle into their new grades and learn our school and class routines.
Our numbers for the 2020 year have been confirmed with 669 enrolments!
2020 Leadership Presentation
Congratulations to our 2020 School Leaders who were presented with their leadership badges and certificate by Councillor Peter Masters last Friday. We wish all our leaders well in their roles.
Class Information Sessions
This week teachers will open their classrooms and conduct parent information sessions. I encourage you to attend this 30 minute session to meet your child’s teacher and hear about the classroom routines, whilst asking any questions you may have. It will also be the prime opportunity to offer any time you may have to assist in the classroom. Your child and all children in the classroom, will benefit from your engagement and support!
Year 5&6 Camp
Last week camp letters for Year 5 & 6 students were sent home. Please ensure that you read the letters in full, including the ‘Camp Expectations’ around behaviour and attendance. The due date for both camp deposits is 13 March. Payment plans can be arranged by contacting the office.
New Toilet Block
We are very excited to report our toilet block renovations are complete, with a full refurbishment of our main toilet block. The feedback from our students has been very positive including, “It’s amazing!” What more could you ask for?
School Dentist Van
The school dentist van has arrived today and will commence seeing students over the coming weeks. If you want your child to be reviewed whilst they are at our school site, please ensure you return the required permissions.
Feedback Welcome

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.
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.
