It’s been great to see students, staff and families back at school and settle into the new term. 

It’s hard to believe that at this time last year, we were managing a lock-down situation with children learning at home. How times have changed, however, as mentioned in last week’s wrap, we remain vigilant and cognisant of the ongoing COVID-19 situation and remind families to take note of the recommendations as per the letter from the Department and SA Health.

Thank you again for your ongoing support.

The Department for Education’s annual parent survey

The Department for Education coordinates an annual survey to better understand the things we’re doing well, where we can improve, and what’s important to you as a parent. The information we collect from this survey is driving change for the department.

In the week beginning Monday 1 August you will receive an email or SMS from the Parent Survey Team with a unique link to participate in the survey.

We highly encourage you to complete the survey, which takes less than 10 minutes. Your feedback will be used locally in our school improvement planning and more broadly to inform other key initiatives to improve education in South Australia. Your answers will not identify you or your child. Only collated feedback will be provided to our school.

If you did not receive an email or SMS with your unique survey link, contact education.ParentSurvey@sa.gov.au and include our school’s name in your email.

For more information visit the Department for Education website.

Secondary Enrolment Update – Information to Families of Year 6 students

In week 3 of term 3, enrolment offers for secondary school will be sent to the families of our year 6 students.

Most families will receive their offer by email on 10, 11 or 12 August.

If you think you have not received your enrolment offer from your secondary school, you need to check your junk folder for an email from education.noreply@sa.gov.au.

If you did not provide an email address on your registration of interest form, you will receive your enrolment offer in the mail or it will be handed to you by your child.

If your enrolment offer has not arrived by 15 August, please let Bron at the Front Office know and we can follow up with the secondary school on your behalf.

If you need support to accept your enrolment offer visit www.education.sa.gov.au/enrolment, or contact your allocated secondary school and they can step you through the process.
