Are You Resilient?This Friday 6 September, all Year 5 and Year 6 students will be involved in a Resilience Day with schools from the surrounding area - Holbrook Public School, St Patrick’s Primary School (Holbrook), St Joseph’s Primary School (Culcairn), Henty Public School and St Paul’s Primary School (Henty). The day will consist of a number of activities, related to being resilient and treating others with respect, conducted by Steve Bowen. Students will be provided with a BBQ lunch and fruit. The day has been organised by the Local Health Advisory Committee and will be a great learning experience for our students. The activities begin at 11:30am and finish at 2:30pm. Students will walk to and from the Culcairn Sportsground with Mrs Smith and Mr Allibon.

Make Your Opinion CountOur school is participating in the Partners in Learning suite of surveys this term. There will be parent, teacher and student surveys to complete. The parent survey asks parents and carers questions about different factors that are known to impact on their child’s experience at school. This feedback will help our school continue to make improvements where required. The survey is conducted entirely online and will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed at:

https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/xdvja

Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 will also complete a survey on student wellbeing, engagement and effective teaching practices. Information received from these surveys is invaluable and a great way to keep improving the services at our school.

Watch the BirdieEnvelopes for school photos on Monday 9 September, have now gone home and need to be returned to school whether or not you intend to purchase any photos. Family photo envelopes are available from the school office.
