PRINCIPAL REPORT

Welcome to Term 3! It has been a great start to the term with many days of high attendance – two in particular with 100%. We thoroughly enjoy having all our students healthy and well in our classroom learning alongside each other. Our teaching staff look forward to keeping this attendance up over the term as we kickstart into our new units of learning.

As you would have read in the curriculum newsletters that have been distributed for this term, our Version 9 Australian Curriculum English units focus on speaking and listening achievement standards with the creating of spoken texts. I encourage families over the term to have a walk around your student’s classroom before or after school and ask your child to explain the learning walls in the classroom and the learning in their books.

Term Three brings a range of learning experiences for our students along with a variety of other activities such as: Year 4-6 Canberra Camp, Gympie District Athletics Trials, Prep Transition, Science Day, Cricket Gala Day, AFL Gala Day, School Opinion Survey, Poetry Competition, Road Safety and Lapathon. Watch for information around these activities in future newsletters, noticeboard, on the school website and class newsletters.

The Outside of School Hours provider Kidz Mob has a new enrolment platform for families to use. Only new families signing up will need to use this link: https://www.owna.com.au/enrol.aspx?c=kidzmobamamoor

The suite of School Opinion Surveys is undertaken each year by the Department of Education to obtain opinions about our school from families, school staff and students in target year levels (5, 6, 8 and 11). The surveys will help identify what we are doing well, and understand where we can improve. The survey invitation will be emailed in the week beginning 21 July and is titled School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2025. Each school family will receive one email invitation from the Department of Education to complete the Parent/Caregiver Survey. The survey is anonymous, and the results are not reported in ways that an individual’s response can be identified by the school. Parents/Caregivers are encouraged to complete the survey. The survey can be completed via computers, tablets or smart phones with an internet connection. Parents/caregivers who experience difficulties accessing the survey can request a new survey from the School Opinion Survey team via email schoolopinionsurvey@qed.qld.gov.au. It’s important that as many parents/caregivers as possible complete the survey, so we would appreciate if members of this committee would raise awareness of this survey with other parents and caregivers. Can’t find your invitation? If your family has more than one parent/caregiver, check that they haven’t received the invitation and/or check your junk email folder.
