Students found different animals and stories in the QR codes that these footprints were covering.

Other activities included research and descriptive writing with exciting adjectives.... Miss A, our Teacher Librarian yesterday embraced her 'witchy' side, what will she embrace for Tuesday?

01.01.2022 This Term, our school will be participating in the Partners in Learning parent survey, another part of the Tell Them From Me suite of surveys (student, teacher and parent surveys) on student engagement. The survey asks parents and carers questions about different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement. Running this survey will help our school understand parents and carers perspectives on their childs experience at school. These include: commun...ication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey is conducted entirely online on smartphones, iPads, tablets, laptops or computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted over Term 3 and early Term 4. Although participating in the survey is entirely voluntary, your responses are very much appreciated. More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au. To access the survey for our school go to: http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/2020gwps The survey is available in 23 languages. Non consent forms regarding student participation have been sent home these should only be returned to school if you do NOT want your child to participate. Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 will have access to the survey from 21 September.
