Cultural Success

Can I congratulate Mrs Conway for her hard work and dedication to the curriculum and learning this term culminating on the annual Fancy Dress Performance last Friday night. The evening was a roaring success. Staff, students and parents were entertained with a range of unique dances and performances. Congratulations to students for your outstanding behaviour on the evening. Thank you to staff who ensured the night ran smoothly and safely. Our P&C noted the large volume of food being purchased and feedback from Ashlee the convener was extremely positive. The school and P&C are looking forward to utilising the hall more frequently next year and are planning future discos for fundraising towards activities within the school.

End of a productive term

This week I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the students and staff within a very busy but productive term. Since my arrival in Week 4 I have seen the positive culture and effective practices and rich cultural experiences across the school.  Our whole school focus around Writing and strengthening students application through goal setting has proven a high yield approach.

Term 4’s focus will include reflection as a whole staff around the writing goals and we will be asking ourselves the questions. “How can we support your child in the last ten weeks of the term?” and “What are the individual goals to ensure the best environment to maximise the growth of your child as a learner?” We want to use this time wisely and effectively to finish the year strong.

The staff in term four will be provided the opportunity to have consultation around the direction for the 2020 Explicit Improvement Agenda. We will be celebrating the successes, capturing the effective strategies of the work undertaken this year and reflect on various data sets to guide us to the work in 2020.

In conclusion can I wish all families a well earnt rest and enjoy a special time to relax and spend quality time together. Looking forward to sharing more great news stories for the fortnight following the school hoildays. Until then have a great couple of weeks.
