Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to Term 3, I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday break.
We go into this term, with our continuation of PSSA sport and Clubs. In Week 3 we will be celebrating Education Week and in Week 5 is Book Week. Stay tuned for more details.
We already have so much to celebrate. At the end of last term, Miss Jacinta Kellow and Miss Fiona Smith were the successful applicants in our Merit Selection Panel. They are now permanent members of staff and will continue in their current roles. As many of you are aware Mrs Vicki Crowhurst has gone on leave, Miss Smith will continue in her role as Assistant Principal of Years 3 and 4 and Ms Mikkaelie Usher will return full time on 3/4C.
I would also like to congratulate Megan Walsh on being the successful candidate for our Canteen Manager position. Megan is a dedicated member of the P&C and has started the term off well in her new role.
Another celebration is our playground, the brand new sandpit is complete and our playground equipment is now all up to code. The veggie patch will be our next improvement, now that the shipping container has been moved. A picket fence will be installed and form part of an art project that every student will be involved in.
This semester will see our educators focus on PBL and practical applications of assessment. Teachers will be involved in weekly professional learning about improving this in their classrooms and consistently across the school K-6.
Looking forward to an AWESOME term 3,
Mrs Nic Williams
Principal
