Welcome to our week 6 newsletter. Please remain highly vigilant with COVD-19. We are doing everything we possibly can to make our school as safe as it can be. This includes staff wearing masks, not having staff meetings in groups—choosing to use Teams to meet regularly, regularly washing and using sanitiser on our hands, encouraging students to wear masks, and limiting the number of adults on site. I thank you for remaining outside the gate at pick up and drop off times. Together we can limit the number of active cases. Other strategies are being adopted by the Department and are forever changing and moving with the knowledge we are gaining with COVID-19. I will keep you updated with the latest information as soon as I receive it.
Read, Write, Inc has been going now for a few weeks with students actively participating in these highly structured lessons. It is wonderful to see students engaging in this program and amazing to see their growth and progress along the way. Keep up the great work.
Our Site Improvement Plan is complete and will guide our work in Literacy and Numeracy for the next 3 years. We have set our targets for student learning and developed a working plan to support student growth and progress. Regular checks will be made by staff as we navigate through the school year to ensure we are seeing positive movement in these areas.
We unfortunately will be losing Lisette from the front office as she moves to another job role outside of the Education Department. I honestly cannot speak highly enough about the work Lisette has produced during her 11.5 years with us. We will all miss her but wish her nothing but happiness and success.
Bryan Rotherham,
Principal
