Who makes a difference at our school?

As part of the WA Education Awards, we are asking parents and students to tell us who makes a difference in their schools.

Parents and students can now vote for their favourite teacher, principal or support staff member and give them a chance to win $1000.

The staff member who receives the most votes will be awarded the People’s Choice Award at the WA Education Awards presentation event on 28 November.

All school staff who receive a vote will be acknowledged in The West Australian on World Teachers’ Day on 28 October.

Parents and students can vote now at the west.com.au/competitions.

Voting closes at 5.00pm on 23 September.

Communications materials have been developed for schools to promote the People’s Choice Award to their communities.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data for School Students with Disability

Our school is part of a national project about students with disability and/or learning difficulties. We have been asked to provide data about the number and learning needs of children at our school. The name of the school and the name of the school and the name of the students will not be reported. Information about the different types of needs and the programs and resources the school uses to overcome barriers and support children with special education needs will be collected.

We believe it is important to contribute to this because it will help Governments and the Department develop better policies that acknowledge the level of resources needed in schools to meet the needs of all students in Western Australia. if you would like to lean more about the Nationally Consistent C9ollection of Data for School Students with Disability and/or learning difficulties you can visit this website:

Informal Car Park Temporary Closure

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Please be advised that our new Early Childhood Classroom is arriving this Thursday the 16th of June. Work is also commencing on our new car park over the weekend. Both builds are very exciting for our school.

To enable the cranes and trucks to gain access to our site the informal car park behind Rose Nowers will be closed from Wednesday 15th of June and no access permitted. This is in the interest of safety of our community. Other parking locations include the dirt section near the staff car park and across the road. I have liaised with the Town of Port Hedland Rangers in relation to parking limitations during this period.

On Thursday 16th of June Room 2 students are required to go straight to the library for the morning and Room 3 students are to go directly to the Music Room for the morning to ensure their safety while the new building is installed. Please do not take your students to their rooms.

The side gate near Rose Nowers and the second front gate leading to the Kitchen Garden will be closed for the remainder of the term. Students and parents can still access the school through the front gate near the concrete lizard, the side gate near the bridge and the oval.

There is an action plan in place to ensure the safety of all students and I look forward to this new addition assisting our growing population. Both the Early Childhood Building and the new car park should be completed by the first week of Term 3.

Yours Sincerely,

Narelle Ward
