Hello Everyone,

As the term progresses, students and staff have continued to work hard in relation to teaching and learning. Students have also been participating in extra curricular activities such as the TCN trials and are looking forward to a number of excursions coming up in term 2.

Acknowledgements

I would like to take a moment to thank the previous P&C executive and committee for their hard work and dedication. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we truly appreciate all the time and effort you’ve invested. Our school has benefited from the hard work from the fundraising and monetary contributions towards excursions, musical instruments and resources.  A special thanks is extended to our outgoing P&C President, Ms Suzannah Jackson, whose support of the school has been invaluable across her two year tenure.

A warm welcome to our new P&C executive team! Mrs Michelle Ibbett will take over as P&C President for 2025.  We look forward to working with you and continuing to build a strong partnership between the school and community.

I have been working closely with our student councillors and the student executive team to investigate appropriate playground designs for the upper school.  As a team, all students have been working extremely hard to not only contribute but to think of all factors that may influence the structure and design.  Watch this space as we finalise the playground design.

School Review

Reviews play an important part in how the department supports school improvement. They provide schools with independent feedback, tailored to their context and needs. All Queensland state schools undergo a review at least once every 4 years, with a team of experienced Principals. Our school review will be taking place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Week 9. During this time, staff, students, and members of the community will be interviewed.

Schools are generally reviewed in the year that they are due to update their 4-year strategic plan. The insights gathered will be instrumental in supporting the development of our strategic plan for the next four years.

Upcoming Events

As we move forward, please mark your calendars for some upcoming events:

• Colour Run: 4th April – Get ready for a fun and energetic event!
• Easter Bonnet Parade: 3rd April – A special celebration for our P-2 students.

NAPLAN

A big thank you to Ms. Neubecker for her excellent facilitation during the NAPLAN assessment period. The last day of assessments will be on Monday. Well done to all our students and staff for their hard work during this time.

Looking forward to an exciting end to this term!

Yours in Learning,
