Dear Parents/Caregivers
We are in the final week of term and I have enjoyed the privilege of being the Principal at Calliope State School. Thanks to all the parents, students and staff I have interacted with this term for your interest in the school, and constructive way things are done.
A gentle reminder, while class lists come out tomorrow, there may be changes on day 8, 2023 depending on enrolment numbers between now and then. Also, for Thursday break up lunches please refer to our Facebook post.
I am looking forward to a great end of year and school returns for 2023 on the 23rd of January 2023.
Kind regards

Christmas Cards - Post Box
Any students wishing to give out Christmas cards to their friends are asked to place them in the post box inside the office door. Please make sure the child's name and class are clearly written on the envelope. Our year 6 students will deliver the cards each day.
We request no food items eg. Candy canes or lollies are in the cards.
Congratulations! We made it!

P & C Meeting
Next Meeting: Next Meeting: Tuesday 07/02/2023, at 6 pm in the Admin Conference Room. If you would like to add anything to the agenda or send apologies, please email secretary.calliopess@gmail.com. This will be the first meeting of the new year and we encourage parents to come along and discuss (as long as it’s in the agenda) their ideas for the new year. We welcome all parents and new members, btw you can be a member without taking on a role.
AGM Meeting
Will be held on the 07/03/2023, at 6pm in the Admin Conference Room. At this meeting all positions will be declared open, and a new executive voted in. We also have the opportunity to create working groups. We encourage all parents to come along and take part in this important process. If there is no executive voted in there is a long and difficult process of closing the P&C and an even harder one of starting it back up again.
