Disco Thanks

Thanks to all of our Parent Support Association members for their leadership and support in organising the disco Friday night.

It was a great success and as always a highlight of the year for the children.

Thanks also to the staff who supported the night to ensure a safe and happy night for everyone.

An interesting observation was that “Who Let The Dogs Out” was the loudest song at both the senior and junior events.

Insight SRC Surveys - Reminder

Each Year we undertake surveys of staff, students (Year 3-6) and parents to gauge organisational health of our school. Our leadership team (along with DOBCEL staff) analyse this data along with our teaching and learning data and wellbeing data to ascertain the effectiveness of our programs and to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. These areas then form the basis of our Annual Action Plan.

Last week 50 families were randomly selected to participate in the survey. These families were given an envelope which contained log in details.  The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete.  If you were selected I urge you to complete the survey as a large sample of families provides more meaningful data.  It might just be worth checking school bags as children have lost the habit of handing over notes in this digital age. The survey will close at the end of the week.
