SCHOOL UNIFORM – DRESS CODE
We have a number of students wearing the incorrect socks to school currently. Our CSS Dress Code clearly stipulates that students are to wear short white or black socks. Please expect contact from your child/ren’s teacher if they are wearing the incorrect socks to school.
TUCKSHOP DAY – FRIDAY NOVEMBER 5
Thank you to our tuckshop convenor and all our volunteers who help to make tasty and healthy meals for our students and staff. The thought, time and effort that goes into providing healthy options provides school communities with many positive benefits. Please let our tuckshop team know that you appreciate their efforts in helping your children make healthy choices.
YEAR 6 CAMP
The final payment for Year 6 is due on Friday November 5. You are more than welcome to make small payments leading up to this date; however, all money due must be paid in full by 3pm on November 5.
CALLIOPE CHRISTMAS CAROLS 2021 – DATE CLAIMER
The Calliope Carols are back on this year, after a break due to COVID restrictions. They will be held on Friday November 26 (Week 8). As in previous years, each year level is learning a song, which they will perform on stage as part of the concert.
It has been noted that the date also coincides with the return of the Year 6 students from their camp. We understand that this will be the end of a big week for these students but we hope that as many as possible will still attend the carols event and perform, as this will be their last carols event before they go to high school.
We hope to see everyone there!
SCHOOL OPINION DATA RESULTS
We have received our School Opinion Survey results. This week I have published our Student Survey results from our ‘Highlight’ report. This report shows the three most positive items and the three least positive items.
Out of a possible 84 staff that could have responded to our School Opinion Survey, 36 staff responded. That equates to 42% of staff responding to the survey. As a school community we will work together to unpack this data over the coming months. We will do this in alignment with our current practices and processes and seek further feedback about next steps.
