Dear Families,
What a fantastic start to the term it has been! I would like to sincerely thank all of our families who attended our recent Parent–Teacher Meet and Greet. It was wonderful to see so many members of our school community come together with a shared commitment to supporting our students. Strong partnerships between home and school are vital, and your presence and engagement truly set a positive tone for the year ahead.
As we begin the new school year, we continue to hold high expectations for all of our students, academically, socially, and personally. It has been incredibly pleasing to see students arriving each day engaged, focused, and ready to learn. Classrooms are already buzzing with curiosity, collaboration, and enthusiasm. When students know that we believe in their potential and expect their best effort, they rise to meet those expectations.
A reminder to families about the importance of full school uniform. Wearing the correct uniform, including white socks and black shoes, promotes a sense of pride, belonging, and unity within our school. We appreciate your support in ensuring students are dressed appropriately each day and represent our school with pride.
We recently held our first assembly for the year, which was a wonderful celebration of community and leadership. A special congratulations to our newly inducted Sports Captains. We are proud of the leadership qualities they have already demonstrated and look forward to seeing them inspire teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit throughout the year.
This term, our Plattsy focus is **RESPECT**. Respect is at the heart of a positive and successful school culture. We are talking with students about what respect looks like in action, respect for each other through kindness and inclusion, respect for our teachers through attentive listening and positive participation, and respect for our environment by caring for our classrooms and playgrounds. When we treat one another and our surroundings with care, everyone benefits.
Thank you for your continued support in reinforcing these important values at home. Together, we are building a culture where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their best.
I am truly excited for the term ahead. With strong partnerships, high expectations, and a shared commitment to respect, we are set for a successful and rewarding year.
Warm regards
Shahn Radcliffe
