23.01.2022 Here we are in week 8 with only two and an half weeks of the school year to go! Semester 2 reports are currently being finalised and should be available on the Sentral Parent Portal by the end of next week. The end of year normally includes a lot of activities and celebrations where we can pause and celebrate the wonderful things that happened across the year. I am so pleased we are able to have parents at our upcoming Stage 2 and Stage 3 Presentation Days as well as the Yea...r 6 Farewell and Stage 3 ringing of the bell. Information has been circulated about how the events are being conducted in a COVID safe way. Please ensure you are familiar with all of the protocols if you have been invited to attend one of our events. End of year stage celebrations are being conducted locally this year and it's so good that the students can still celebrate 2020. Over this week and next, our teachers are participating in planning days for 2021. Planning days allow teachers to collaborate together to develop well structured and resourced teaching and learning programs. There will also be some classroom movements from now until the end of the year. We have tried to minimise any disruption to learning. We won't be able to confirm teachers on grades as yet. We have been receiving new enrolment enquiries on a regular basis. If you know you are leaving Pottsville, can you please let us know ASAP. Attendance improved last week and we hit 93% which is close to our 95% target. We expect all children to attend school up until the last day which is Wednesday December 16. Mrs Foster and I met with the SRC last week to try and finalise student voice in our school plan. I am very proud of the SRC and how they have analysed the survey data and prioritised what is important to students. We discussed the survey results and what they think makes a great teacher. This included talking about what their teacher does now that they like. Even though it isn't finalised yet our students would like: teachers to differentiate so all students can access the curriculum; learning intentions and success criteria because it tells them what to do and how to do it; teachers to continue to work with students who need help or extension; flexible furniture in all classrooms to suit learning styles of all students Student voice is critical in ensuring our school progresses and achieves our school targets. I'm looking forward to working with the student body to support their student identified goals. Regards, Brad Lyne Principal

Students and staff had fun dressing up and enjoyed an afternoon outdoors completing an interactive book walk. Thanks for a great week!
