The Let’s Get Moving program has been in full-swing
this week. The students and staff have engaged with great enthusiasm in
learning their routines in readiness for the whole school performance tomorrow, Friday 23rd of February.
If you are able to attend, the performance begins at 2pm on the basketball
court. A big thanks to Ali Watts for running such an inclusive and fun program.

The Compass Chronicle module allows staff to make
observations regarding students in a number of categories, such as Student
Achievement, Behaviour Observations or a Notification of Reflection. Towards
the end of last year we started to trial the use of this module and we are now
ready to make it available to parents. If you receive notification that a
Chronicle entry has been made, please take the time to read this. It is another
way that our staff can inform you of a range of information about your child.

As previously mentioned, Fairbrothers Pty Ltd have
been contracted by the Department to carry out the capital works project
planned for our school. I was able to meet with them for the first time on
Monday and they have identified the creation of the new Junior Classrooms as
their first task. A plan is currently being developed to ensure Art, Music and
Camp Australia can still function during this time. Needless to say, you will
see a lot of activity soon. We will aim to notify parents of any works that
will have a direct impact on an individual class, as soon as possible.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2019.
Unfortunately, the higher than expected tenders has resulted in the deletion of
the PE Building. This building was to be built near the top oval. Although this
is a disappointing outcome, I will continue to liaise with the Department and
lobby for this building to receive future funding, particularly given that we
were able to prove a need for this facility during the planning phase.
