Our thoughts and best wishes are with friends and family impacted by the floods on the east coast. It is devastang to see what is being experienced. Last week we received news that our applicaon for our Playground Upgrade had been successful as part NSW Department of Educaon Regional Renewal Co-Funding Program. The upgrade will see shade over the fixed equipment on the oval as well as adding new equipment and landscaping to the area. The project will be managed by NSW Department of Educaon Assets Unit. It will result in a wonderful space for our students to enjoy. Our school, like many other public schools in the state, will parcipate in a Department of Educaon iniave: the Tell Them From Me student feedback survey. The survey measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW wide survey is on student wellbeing, engagement and effecve teaching pracces. The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Capturing the voices of our students will help improve how we do things at our school. I want to assure you that the survey is confidenal. The survey is conducted online and will typically take less than 30 minutes to complete. It will be administered during school hours and parcipang in the survey is enrely voluntary for students in Years 4, 5 and 6. If you do not want your child to parcipate then please contact the school. Next Monday evening in the 3-6 staffroom we will be holding a P&C Meeng. All members of our school community are welcome to aend. This week I will be aending the Term 1 meeng for the Far West Principals Network. This meeng will focus on finding out about new priories and iniaves, their impact on our school and also raising issues that are impacng our school. Have a wonderful week of learning.
