Message from the Principal… Dear Parents A few weeks ago I mentioned the Tell Them From Me parent survey. This survey is one way for us to get your perspectives on your child’s experience at school. This includes things like communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey is completely anonymous. Unfortunately to date only 2 surveys have been completed. The survey can be completed on a phone, tablet or computer. To access the survey for our school go to: https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/r522q To assist parents in completing the surveys, some of our SRC leaders will be in the playground with school iPads over the next two weeks for parents to use to complete the surveys. Please take advantage of using one of these school devices when you drop off, or pick up your children. The survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete. Thank you for your support with this. We really value your input. We are now beginning to make plans for the 2019 school year. At the moment our focus is on our Kindergarten enrolments. We have close links with our preschools and the children attending our local preschools have already commenced their visits to ‘big school’. If you are aware of any children in the area who may not attend local preschools, but may have someone of school age for 2019, please ask them to come in to the school office so they can be included in the transition visits and orientation.

Message from the Principal…

Dear Parents

A few weeks ago I mentioned the Tell Them From Me parent survey. This survey is one way for us to get your

perspectives on your child’s experience at school. This includes things like communication between

parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of

learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey is

completely anonymous. Unfortunately to date only 2 surveys have been completed.

The survey can be completed on a phone, tablet or computer. To access the survey for our school go to:

https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/r522q To assist parents in completing the surveys, some of our SRC leaders

will be in the playground with school iPads over the next two weeks for parents to use to complete the surveys.

Please take advantage of using one of these school devices when you drop off, or pick up your children. The

survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete. Thank you for your support with this. We really value your

input.

We are now beginning to make plans for the 2019 school year. At the moment our focus is on our Kindergarten

enrolments. We have close links with our preschools and the children attending our local preschools have already

commenced their visits to ‘big school’. If you are aware of any children in the area who may not attend local

preschools, but may have someone of school age for 2019, please ask them to come in to the school office so

they can be included in the transition visits and orientation.

Have a great week
