In term 2, we will begin to focus on the value of Respect. To support its effective implementation, we would like to request that you begin having conversations with your children regarding this value and what it looks like. This collaboration will aid student’s greater understanding of respect and what it means.
Starting in 2023, term 1 has now become the term NAPLAN is conducted. During weeks 7 and 8, our year 3 and 5 students completed assessments in reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. They participated with great persistence and I’m sure their results will reflect this. I acknowledge the stress and anxiety this can cause students and families, so greatly appreciate the collaborative nature in which you ensured your children were prepared and ready to participate.
During my tenure as Principal of Burton Primary School, I am invested in gaining an insight into each stakeholder’s perspective of the school. During term 1, I met with all staff members, and would like to end the term with providing our families with an opportunity to share theirs. This is different to Parent Perspective survey shared by the Department. It is a lot shorter and more specific to the information I am seeking. Again, I have provided a QR code to the survey below. If you could spare another 5 minutes to complete the survey below, it would be greatly appreciated.
