Dear Parents/carers,

Every Term of the school year is busy and rewarding, they are filled with great events, wonderful achievements and excellent student work. Term 2 at Bowen State School was all of this and more.

We have had a number of well attended events including Athletics Carnival, Maths Fiesta, Healthy Eats Program, School Fete, School Photos, NAPLAN and the Colour Splash and Dash.  We continued the great work on our Positive Behaviour for learning systems, ensuring we are teaching our lessons weekly and collectively staying focused on safe and supported classroom environments.

We celebrated excellent results, showing improvements in many areas across the school, both academically and socially. Our attendance on many occasions has surpassed our goals and we continue to work hard every day to ensure our students are making every day count.

As we head off today for a relaxing break, for our staff to spend time with their loved ones and for our students to spend time, recharging their batteries and engaging in family fun activities, I urge everyone to stay safe. For our students to always have a parent/carer or responsible adult knowing of their where about and for our parents and carers to always know where your children are and play. Please travel safe if going away in the break and if staying close to home, enjoy the quiet.

Personally I would like to thank everyone for all the work they have contributed this term to our students, to our staff in the classrooms, our parents and carers at home and to our teacher aides, office staff and the leadership team. We will always continue to focus on providing the best learning opportunities as we strive to improve student learning outcomes.

 

Enjoy your well-deserved break.
