Dear families of Wollongong West Public School,
School Planning for 2020
Our school is currently working on staffing and class formation for 2020. If you are planning on leaving our school in 2020 please advise our office immediately. Also, if you are aware of any families moving into our area, please encourage them to contact our office as soon as possible to commence the enrolment process. Our school executive team is meeting extensively in the coming weeks to plan for 2020.
School Self Evaluation
As a component of our annual school self evaluation processes, our school is asking parents and carers to provide information regarding you and your child’s sense of belonging at our school. Your responses to this survey will provide us with valuable information that will help shape future directions for our school. I encourage all parents/carers to participate in this survey by following this link - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SK2HRYZ. Alternatively, a paper copy of this survey will be distributed to all families in the coming days. Families can also choose to complete this survey on paper and return the survey to our office.
2020 Class for students with autism
Our school will have a support class established for next year. This class will be for students with autism in Kindergarten and Year 1. At this stage, we have 5 children enrolled in the class. Staffing processes are underway to find a class teacher and school learning support officer for this class. Minor building works will be undertaken in the coming weeks to accommodate our new class.
Stage 3 camp
Congratulations to our Stage 3 children who represented our school with respect and pride at their recent Stage 3 camp. Our children had fun making rafts, climbing trees and completing other fun outdoor activities at the Wombaroo Sport and Recreational Camp. Thank you very much to Miss Hopper, Mr Bell, Mr Taylor and Ms Ryan for accompanying our children on this camp and providing them with this wonderful opportunity.
Halloween Disco
Thank you to our P&C for their stellar organisation of our Halloween disco last week. Our children had a fun night dancing, bobbing for apples and eating doughnuts and other treats. A fun afternoon was had by all.
Remembrance Day assembly
This week our school leaders led a special assembly to acknowledge Remembrance Day. All children at our school attended this assembly.
Presentation Assembly
Our annual presentation assembly will be held on Monday 2 December at 9:15am in our school hall. At this assembly we will acknowledge and celebrate the growth and achievements of students at our school across all aspects of school life. Parents and carers of award recipients will be contacted in the coming weeks to receive a personal invitation to this event.
I wish everyone a fabulous fortnight.
Kind regards,
Michelle Barnes, Principal
