Dear Parents & Community Members,
Unfortunately, COVID continues to disrupt our “normal” school operations. This is in spite of the fact that a number of processes and events have returned to the planner, the number of students and staff missing school due to illness is still having a significant impact. I continue to openly endorse and appreciate the entire community for the manner in which our school has been supported. I thank teachers for supporting children at home and I thank parents/carers for being so conscious of the health of children. Fingers crossed we are all well soon.
We concluded the current NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) regime this week following an extension of the testing “window” due to the number of children who missed an assessment owing to illness or associated reasons. My thanks to Miss Cole for her coordination and all other staff for assisting with the process. While 2022 results will be compromised, this process does provide schools with an idea of progress within limited parameters.
Finally, thanks to all coaches and supporting community members for assisting with our interschool sports teams. I am immensely proud of our teams – the effort, attitude and teamwork has been a pleasure hear or witness. While the positive results are important, it’s the E.A.T. that matters.
Peter Meston
