Last week of a huge term

Can I thank families and staff for your tremendous efforts during a disrupted start to 2022. I reflect on what we have achieved and how children have been so responsive to the teaching and learning that has occurred. Some of the highlights included the Year 6 Camp, Leaders Induction, Badge Parade, Cross Country and PBL Celebrations. It is outstanding to see the resilience of staff and students to ensure we finish the term strong. During the first few weeks of next term we will be busily preparing for the Full School Review which will occur in the forth week of the term. The leadership team has prepared a timetable for the three days to ensure our staff, students, parents and community members get the opportunity to voice their feedback back to the work happening in our school. We look forward to the feedback from this process and the guiding steps for the next four years.

Congratulations Karen Weekes

This week I was formally notified that Karen Weekes was the successful applicant in the interview process for the Acting Deputy Principal role here at Bowen State School. Karen will be extended in the role until the end of term 2 with possible extension. Please join me in congratulating Karen for her success in securing this position.

Enjoy a great Easter Break!

In closing I would like to wish all our families and staff a restful and relaxing Easter break. I hope all families enjoy the beautiful weather and have some quality family time to rest and recharge the batteries. I am looking forward to the commencement of term 2 and all the great learning here at Bowen State!

Looking forward to sharing more great stories around the teaching and learning next term. Until next fortnight have a great Easter Break.
