News from the DP's Desk

Welcome to Term 3! Our attendance for the first two weeks has been quite low with many students being unwell or continuing their holidays. Our attendance target is 93%. Our whole school attendance is currently 88%. Teachers started the new units of learning on the first day of this term, so students may have already missed some key foundational concepts. Please check in with your child’s teacher if your child has been absent to see if they need to complete any catch up work.

Student Council

The Student Council met regularly last term sharing some great ideas about things they want to improve at Bowen State. Some suggestions were shades on the oval, portable goal posts, more seating, marked footy fields for lunchtime play and more sports equipment.

This term the Student Council will be organising some fundraising events once they decide on their target goal.

Thanks to the efforts of the 2023 Student Council, some portable goal posts are being purchased for each play area.

Toys and Sports Equipment

As we begin a new term, please support us by ensuring your child does not bring toys or their personal sports equipment (e.g footballs) to school. We cannot guarantee that they won’t be lost.

School Opinion Survey 2024

Each year families, students (Yr 5 & 6) and school staff have the opportunity to have their say about what our school does well, and how we can improve by participating in the School Opinion Survey.

An invitation to complete the Parent/Caregiver Survey was emailed to one parent/caregiver per family last week. The invitation is sent from the Department of Education, not the school, and it will have the subject line ‘School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2024’. Check your junk email folder if you can’t find it.

The survey is anonymous. Personal information such as email address is used for distribution purposes only. No logins or passwords are needed, simply click on the link and complete the survey.  

The School Opinion Survey collection period opens Monday, 22 July and closes Friday, 16 August. The survey can be completed as soon as the invitation is received and will take approximately 5 minutes using a computer, tablet or smart phone.

We encourage all parents to complete the survey, as the school uses this data to inform our future direction.
