Principal's Report

Dear Families,

Absence

I would like to inform you that I was away from school last week and anticipate being away for the duration of this week after having unexpected major dental surgery.

During this time, Alana Lava and Tania Walsh are overseeing school operations and will be available for any urgent matters.

Please continue to direct any general inquiries to the school office. I appreciate your support and look forward to returning soon.

I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

Primary Progress Report

I have no doubt that you will appreciate the honest information you will receive about your child.

Please remember that if you have any concerns regarding the progress of your child it is important to make an appointment with the teacher to discuss your concerns. The teacher should always be the contact in the first instance as they know, firsthand, the individual learning needs of your child.

School Association

In Tasmania, a School Association is a formal body that represents the interests of students, parents, staff, and the wider school community. It works in partnership with the school to support student learning and well-being.

Role of a School Association in Tasmania:

  • Provides input into school policies and priorities.
  • Assists in decision-making on matters such as school budgets and facilities.
  • Supports fundraising and community engagement.
  • Encourages collaboration between parents, staff, and students.

School Associations operate under the Education Act and have a constitution outlining their responsibilities. Membership typically includes the principal, elected parents and staff, and sometimes community representatives and students.

School Associations exist to:

  • Foster Collaboration: Strengthen partnerships between families, educators, and the broader community.
  • Support Decision-Making: Provide input on school policies, priorities, and strategic directions.
  • Manage School Finances: Oversee certain aspects of funding, including fundraising efforts and voluntary contributions.
  • Advocate for Student Well-Being: Ensure student needs are at the centre of decision-making.
  • Enhance School Resources: Assist in securing grants, funding, and community support for school projects.

A School Association typically includes:

  • The Principal
  • Elected Parent Representatives
  • Elected Staff Representatives
  • Community Representatives

Parents, carers, and community members can join the School Association by nominating for a position during elections, attending meetings, or volunteering in association-led initiatives. Involvement is a fantastic way to have a voice in school decisions and contribute to a thriving school community.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday, 5 May at 7.00pm.

Warm Regards,

Karen Hay
Principal
