Data collected from the survey responses are compiled into reports for school leaders. The TTFM Survey window is open, we would appreciate it if you could take some tome to provide the school with some feedback.... https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/survey/splash/gsps2020

19.01.2022 Congratulations to Mrs Samuels and Miss Cootes who were awarded the Executive Director’s Excellence Award today at the Regional North Operational Directorate Excellence Awards. Mrs Samuels and Miss Cootes were recognised for the outstanding leadership they showed during the COVID learning from home phase. We are extremely proud of their achievements and are grateful for everything they continue to do to support our students, staff and community.

19.01.2022 GSPS Community Questionnaire- Sport House Names At Garden Suburb Public School, we are committed to growing our understanding and respect for the Awabakal people who are the traditional owners of the land that our school site is situated on. This year, after consultation with the Miromaa Aboriginal Language and Technology Centre and our local Kumaridha AECG, we have started to teach our students an Awabakal word each week. We are delighted to see our students engaging in the ...local language and have been looking at other ways we can incorporate the Awabakal language into our school setting. We are considering using the Awabakal language to build an understanding and respect by changing the names of our sport houses. The staff and students at Garden Suburb have had opportunity to express their opinions and give feedback. The feedback received indicated that many students no longer know who Lawson, Kendell and Paterson are and that these names are no longer significant to our school. The school has consulted the P&C Committee and the feedback was in support of a change however we would like to consult with our wider school community before we make this decision. We value your opinion, please share it with us by using this link. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9GSSSMF Thank you, GSPS Aboriginal Education Team

18.01.2022 Today is the day! Today our students will have the opportunity to use our newly installed playground equipment. We are so excited to have this fabulous addition to our school. Students in Area 3 are required to have a hat on when playing so all students using the equipment will be wearing hats. The playground equipment under the COLA is still available for students who have forgotten their hats.

05.01.2022 Fair Play OOSH The school has had a meeting our Fair Play OOSH team today and there are a few community notifications that have come from the meeting: - Fair Play OOSH have requested that the OOSH is opened up to the wider community during the school holiday period only. During the school term we have only had students from Garden Suburb Public School attend our OOSH and this will continue. The school supports this and where possible our students will have priority. OOSH wil...l open holiday enrolments up on Monday 30th November to students not attending our school so if you need to book your child in please do so before Monday. Enrolments can be made by emailing [email protected] or phoning 0452 487 404. - OOSH places for 2021 are filling up fast so if you require this for your child please ensure to get your enrolment form back to the OOSH as soon as possible to secure your spot. Many of you would know that our new playground was partly funded by the OOSH Start Up Grant ($30,000) so we would like to thank Fair Play OOSH for their support of our school, we would not have the equipment at this stage if it wasn't for the grant. Our students attending OOSH will access this equipment and students attending OOSH on Wednesdays will use it during Workout Wednesday held at OOSH each week. A big thank you to the GSPS Fair Play OOSH team for the wonderful care you show our students, it has been a big year for our service to start and I know each of our families attending appreciates the extra care that the Fair Play OOSH team put into making sure our students have an enjoyable experience.
