07.01.2022 Parents, have you completed our Partners in Learning - Parent Survey? Don't worry you still have time - it closes Friday 25 September! This Term, our school is 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 child’s experience at school. These include: communication 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. Although participating in the survey is entirely voluntary, your responses are very much appreciated as it will give us future direction for school improvement. 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/walbundrieps2020

02.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE: This morning the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, and Education Minister, Sarah Mitchell, urged parents to keep their children home from school from tomorrow (Tuesday 24 March) as an important strategy to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community. NSW Public Schools will remain open for students whose parents work in essential industries, including our health system, education system, emergency services and other essential workers. Parents that have no o...ption can still send children to school where they will be supervised. This means that the default position is to stay home. Schools will begin to deliver learning from home units of work to be completed by students at home or at school. Printed units of work have been sent home with students today, as well as their login and passwords for online based learning platforms such as Matific, Mathletics, Reading Eggs, Study Ladder and Typing Tournament. Those students who attend school during this period will complete the same learning at home units as those students who are not at school. There will be no formal teaching. Teaching staff will continue to compile learning for next week (Week 10), which will be ready for collection on Friday or Monday. For more details on students learning from home, please follow the link below: https://education.nsw.gov.au//curriculum/learning-from-home We are looking to establish a Google Classroom where students can communicate and share learning with their teacher. If you have any pressing concerns regarding these new arrangements please contact the school directly. We will continue to provide further updates as they become available. Take care, stay safe and keep well.
