Principal’s Report

Another busy week for staff with a number of staff involved in various professional learning activities.

We have also begun meeting with parents/carers and students to complete Personalised Learning Pathways for all of our Aboriginal students.

This is a mid-term break weekend, so we hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe break. Please advise us of how you used the mid-term break as we use this data to support the continuation of this arrangement.

Check the calendar and Facebook page for upcoming events and we look forward to seeing many of you at our STEM night in week 7.

Have a great weekend
