Principals Report
Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members,
We are rapidly making our way through Term 3 and the brighter, warmer weather of Term 4 is only weeks away. With that being said, there is still a lot to achieve and complete in the remaining weeks of Term 3.

Father’s Day
I would like to thank all who came to celebrate Father’s Day on Monday. It was a lovely occasion to acknowledge the role of the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and other important role models who support the children in our school community. Our students enjoyed making biscuits and completing other fun activities with their special person.
School ‘Pick Up’
After school, students have the opportunity to play in the school yard until 3.30pm. At this time, an additional school bell will ring, and the gate will be closed. This allows our students attending OSHC to play outside and there is no confusion as to which student is going home or at OSHC. If any Parent or Carer can’t collect their child on time, please contact the office and we will send your child to be supervised at the office.
Parent/Carer/Guardian Survey
I would like to say thank you to the parents that have taken time to complete the Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey. The survey, offered by the Department of Education, is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement.
Your opinions are important to us and will contribute to identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies. The department will use the results from the survey for research purposes and to improve outcomes for students.
There is still time to complete the survey, it will be open until the 20th of September. The survey will be conducted online and only takes 20 minutes to complete. It can be completed on any internet enabled device (desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and is compatible with most browsers.
Information on how to take part in the survey is posted on Compass.
I hope everyone has a warm and hopefully less windy weekend!
