Integrity Respect Resilience Responsibility

Last week we welcomed Ms Nicole Snelleksz and Ms Kelly Silvers to our staff team. Nicole is our new P.E teacher and Kelly joins our Learning Support team working with classes across the school. Congratulations to English as an Additional Language (EAL) teacher Kristen Raboude who recently announced her pregnancy. Kristen is due in January. Parent Opinion Surveys As part of our school’s accountability requirements, a Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) Parent Opinion Survey has been sent to an electronically generated random sample of parents this week. The findings of this survey provides very important information to our school as it informs us of your perceptions in relation to our school’s climate (approachability, homework, learning focus, school improvement), student behaviour (student safety, classroom behaviour) and student engagement ( student motivation, school connectedness, peer connectedness). We use this to plan, reflect upon and evaluate the effectiveness of our school’s improvement journey. If you have been selected please ensure that you take the time to complete and return the surveys by Monday 1st August in the envelope provided.

UNSW Science results Credit, Distinction and High Distinction certificates for the University Of New South Wales Science tests undertaken last term will be presented at assembly on Monday morning. Children who received a Participation certificate or were absent on the day will have their results returned to classrooms for distribution and acknowledgement.
