We have almost made it to the end of another year here at Scarborough PS, a year that has been filled with a fantastic range of amazing learning opportunities and experiences for all of our students. For this, I would like to pay credit to our outstanding staff who continually go above and beyond to make many of these opportunities possible.
Our staff work tirelessly to ensure that they are providing excellence in curriculum content and delivery in our classrooms each day, but beyond this, they also put a lot of thought and effort into creating broader experiences for our students such as STEAM Expos, choir activities, surfing lessons, whole school community events and student leadership opportunities. My thanks extend beyond teaching staff who are present in classrooms each day, but to all staff from our cleaners, gardeners, office and library staff, and everyone else in between. We all truly work as a team to provide the best we can for our students. Everybody’s input is invaluable. So thank you!
I’d also like to acknowledge our students and the amazing efforts that they have put in this year. This time each year I get to do one of the favourite parts of my job, which is reading through all of our student’s reports. I genuinely enjoy reading about the progress that has been made by everyone, from our kindy’s who have been discovering sounds, letters, numbers and the joys of learning to navigate a classroom environment with lots of new friends, to our Year 6 students who we have nurtured over the years, developing academically, socially and emotionally to ensure readiness for the adventures that high school holds for them. Well done everybody!
Finally, to our Scarborough Primary School community, you are amazing! You are engaged, positive and proactive. We appreciate the ongoing support that you give us in doing the best for your children; everything from the tireless efforts of our P&C and Board, to everyone who has volunteered their time in classrooms, coming to school events and the way you have engaged with our classroom teachers to ensure the best for your children. You inspire us to strive to do our best every day and are such an integral part of our cultural fabric.
On that note, I’d like to wish you all a safe, relaxing and enjoyable holiday break and look forward to seeing you all again in 2020.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
