24.01.2022 Dear parents and families, THANK YOU so much for your input to our School Improvement Survey. We had 90 responses and have gained some great information. Each year, the Department of Education NSW provide a survey 'Tell Them From Me'. Students, Staff and Parents complete this survey.... I understand that it will be similar to our school survey, but I would appreciate your time to fill it out as it is collated into our central records and important for long term data. I have sent it to all families by email - but it may have landed in your junk or spam folder. The link is: http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/tacoma This closes on Friday 23/10/20 It should take about 10-20 minutes. Your time continued support is much appreciated! Nicole Heazlewood

21.01.2022 The new NSW school curriculum will build strong foundations in numeracy and literacy, give teachers more time on essential learning, and better prepare students for future work and study. Find out more: https://bit.ly/30agpXV *Posted by the NSW Department of Education*

21.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers It has come to our attention that there was a live suicide streaming on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok today. We understand that the clip is extremely graphic and is likely to cause concern to people who view it. While the school has no evidence at this stage to suggest any student has seen the actual footage, we strongly recommend you heavily supervise all social media interactions of your child until this content is removed.... We have also receiving reports that trolls are using videos of puppies and kittens to lure young people into viewing the video. It is also being inserted into videos of kittens on Tik Tok. It is strongly recommended that you adhere to the age restrictions on social media apps Tik Tok 16 years old; Instagram and Facebook 13 years old. If your child has seen the video footage and needs support, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school. Nicole Heazlewood

04.01.2022 CHESS NEWS from Mr Kirk..... ‘Our A-team beat Bateau Bay 4-0. The C-team lost to Avoca 3-1, but our captain Melinda G had a hard fought game to cause a draw with Avoca's captain (it was so close that the State Adjudicator had to be called!) Our D-team beat the Wamberal A-team 3-1. And our E-team, so our 5th ranked team, beat Lake Munmorah 3.5 to 0.5! Our B team played a friendly competition game against our reserves. Smallest school in the comp with the most amount of teams ...on the Central Coast. We have as many teams as Gosford, Wyong and Wamberal combined. Little school, big heart. I feel so privileged to share the experience with our little dudes, fair dinkum they have so much ticker! ’ CONGRATULATIONS to our incredible, clever chess teams. We are so proud of you all.
