2017 ANNUAL REPORT Building pride and confidence in government schools is a key focus of the Education State agenda. Our annual Report to our School Community is an opportunity for our school to celebrate and share the years achievements, milestones and improvements. It is also an opportunity to reflect on our school’s performance and understand where and how the improvement agenda has impacted student outcomes. The report will be tabled and endorsed at our next School Council Meeting on May 8th. The Annual Report will be available at our School Office and on our website after the meeting.

TISSUES

With winter coming, our school is asking each student to donate a box of tissues to their classroom. Your sup-

port would go along way towards catering for the cold and flu season.
