A WORD FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Welcome Back to School!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to Freshwater State School for 2025! We hope you had a wonderful break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the exciting year ahead. As we begin a new school year, we’d like to share a few important updates and reminders to ensure a safe, positive, and productive environment for all our students.

Schools work hard to ensure that their school communities remain abreast of what is happening and the priorities for the upcoming year.  As a team we have identified the following priorities to ensure that the teaching and learning of all students at Freshwater State School continues:

  1. Whole School Framework for Staff and Student Engagement for Learning
  • Focus on Respectful Relationships and Positive Behaviour for Learning
  1. Implementation of V9 English Curriculum
  • Focus on Detailed Read (Reading to Learn)
  1. Implementation of V9 Mathematics
  • Focus on Problem Solving and Resourcing

Rainy Days & Safety

As the weather changes, please be mindful of the forecast and prepare your child for rainy days. We encourage students to bring raincoats, umbrellas, and continue to wear appropriate shoes for school, Crocs etc are not appropriate footwear for school. We have amended our play breaks according to the weather to try and ensure that students have time for play outside of the classroom but are safe at the same time.

Safe, Respectful Learners

We are committed to fostering a community of safe, respectful learners. Our goal is to create an environment where all students feel valued and supported. We encourage every student to be respectful towards their peers, teachers, and the school environment, and to always uphold the values of kindness, responsibility, and cooperation. Together, we can create a positive space for everyone. Part of this process is the role that classroom teachers play in the communication with parents.  Teachers are the first people to speak with regarding any concerns, as they will more often than not, have more information to share.  

Leader Investiture Ceremony

We are excited to announce our upcoming Leader Investiture Ceremony! This special event will honour our new student leaders for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to our school community for 2025. We invite all families to join us in celebrating these inspiring students as they take on their new roles and responsibilities. As there are a number of events occurring, the date for the investiture has been pushed out to Week 4.

Leader Investiture Ceremony: Term 1, Week 4, Wednesday 2pm
