Jayne Ebsworthy Principal 17th December 2015

From the Principal’s Desk

As we look towards a much needed rest my staff and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parent community for their ongoing support and interest in our school. We are not perfect, but on the whole, our school works together harmoniously with a clear focus on our students. At the end of 2015 our school is in a very good position to look to the future with great anticipation and expectation. Thank you for your gifts, letters, card and emails of encouragement and support that have been generously given to my staff and to me personally. These messages mean a great deal to us and we thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to acknowledge the work of the school. May I remind you of the reason why our class lists are not made public until the first day of school. Over the last seven years we have had a pattern of enrolment that at times has involved large numbers of enrolments coming in the days leading up to the first school day. Depending on the number of enrolments, I may need to change the school class structure to accommodate these enrolments. I am sure you will agree that this is a much better option than releasing class lists and then restructuring. I understand your need and desire to know your child’s class teacher but I hope you can see the ‘big picture’ and the unique contextual needs of a growing school such as Burrendah. Class lists will be displayed in the undercover area from 8 am on Monday 1st February. They will not be available on the Friday before. Please inform the school via email burrendah.ps@education.wa.edu.au if you will not be returning to the school or if you will be returning in 2016 after the 1st February. We need this important information for our census. I would personally like to acknowledge my staff and thank them for their tireless commitment to their roles. A special thank you to Mr Heron and Mrs Chatfield who have capably filled the role of Deputy Principal while Mr Bradshaw was away on long service leave. I hope you enjoy a happy and safe summer holiday shared with your beautiful children. Happy Christmas!
