Welcome Back
Welcome back to Term 3! It has been wonderful to see how eager the students were to be back with their friends and engaging in the learning! Our wonderful staff have planned the learning and been preparing for the many special events, which will further engage our students, this term!



Yesterday, on assembly, I spoke with the students about how their attendance is linked with success at school! This semester we will focus on encouraging our students to attend EVERY day and we will need your help! So, unless students are unwell, or attending school-based events, we want them at school. Please consider scheduling appointments or out of school events around our school times. I will update you each newsletter to let you know how we are travelling with our goal of students attending EVERY DAY.
We have started by celebrating NAIDOC week with our students our term, continuing their understandings of our First Nations people achievements, cultures and history.
Our Indigenous Ambassadors are also facilitating some great lunchtime activities. We will continue to share these highlights across the week.


School Opinion Surveys
The annual suite of School Opinion Surveys will be conducted 15 July to 30 July 2021. All families, school staff and students in target year levels (5 and 6) will be invited to participate. We encourage you to take this opportunity to have your say about what our school does well, and how we can improve. The Department of Education will commence sending email invitations to participants in the second week of the school holidays. Keep an eye out for yours!
