From Sue
Payment of School fees for 2015
Invoices were distributed earlier this term regarding payments for fees and books for 2015. My sincere thanks
go to the parents who have responded promptly with payments already. Our intention is to have all payments
received by the end of November so the 2015 school year can commence smoothly. Your cooperation in
making the payments would be greatly appreciated.
World Teachers’ Day
Celebrated in over 100 countries, World Teachers' Day acknowledges the efforts of teachers in an increasingly
complex, multicultural and technological society. It is a day on which students, parents and community
members can demonstrate their appreciation for the contributions that teachers have made to their community.
My sincere thanks go to the numerous parents who prepared a scrumptious morning tea for the staff on Friday
of last week. The tables were covered in some wonderful and very tempting culinary delights. Staff left with
appetites sated and a need to do some serious jogging!
Organisation for 2015
Our predicted enrolments for 2015 are shown below:
Foundation/Prep: 105
Year 1: 109
Year 2: 106
Year 3: 75
Year 4: 91
Year 5: 93
Year 6: 73
Total: 652
We have 12 new students enrolling in 2015 from Years 1 to 5 and 14 students exiting. I do try and balance the
numbers exiting with the new enrolments. Across the school we have a very slight predominance of boys from
Years Prep to 4 for next year, and this is more apparent at Years 5 and 6.
We are currently exploring options with the grade structure and of course considering classrooms. This year
we have 28 classes and I anticipate we will have the same number for 2015.
Teachers resuming from leave include: Bec Redwood, Kelly Shoppee and Michelle Olerhead-Griffiths.
Teachers taking leave in 2015 include: Fallon Page-Levett commencing late February.
Teachers remaining on leave during 2015 include: Helen Mamos, Karen Riley, Sally Jacka, Beck Watkins,
Jess Gazzo, Alison Powell and Cassie Humphreys. We have completed the first round of staff selection
involving 12 month contract positions for 2015.

December Reports to be Distributed
Electronically
In an effort to provide school reports in a more
useful format and in response to parental requests,
we have decided to trial sending reports home
electronically. We will begin with the December
Reports this year. Individual student reports will be
sent to parents via email, in PDF format.
“Update Details Forms” were sent home in second
term this year asking parents to update any changes
in personal details. If your email has changed since
then, please ensure you let the school know as
soon as possible so we have your correct details. Reports will be emailed home during the last week
of term. Parents who are unable to access an
electronic copy are requested to inform the school
office.
