FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Yesterday, our Leadership Team spent time, at the

Regional Office, planning for the term ahead. As a team,

we considered our school priorities and how our school

is tracking in relation to the targets we set at the

beginning of the year. We also spent time with a Data

Coach from the Department of Education, going through

a variety of data sets, most of which showed really

pleasing results.

We recently had our staff team complete a survey about

the positive aspects of their roles and associated

challenges. Our Leadership Team spent a considerable

portion of the day considering staff feedback and

devising ways we can continue making Swan Hill Primary

School a great place to work and learn. I feel really

grateful to be surrounded by such a hard-working,

dedicated and enthusiastic Leadership Team, and look

forward to the great things we have planned for Term 3.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the

Leadership and Administration Team for continuing to

perform their roles exceptionally well, despite the

challenges presented by having a makeshift work

environment, whilst the refurbishments have been

taking place. Our school community have also been

really accommodating – thank you! We are almost there

and hope to move back into the Administration Block on

the last day of this term.

Have a great week!

5 tips for more Veg!

Looking for some ways to include some more vegetables

in your family’s diet? Try some of these delicious ideas!

Grated – Add grated carrot and zucchini to Bolognese

and other pasta sauces, use grated vegies to bulk

up rissoles, meatballs and meatloaf.

Pureed – pureed vegies make great sauces, dips and

spreads and can be added to almost anything, you

can even add them to your baking!

Half your plate – at dinner, make sure at least half your

plate is filled with vegetables, choose them in a

variety of colours and add some flavor with herbs

and spices.

Frozen vegetables – you can always have vegies on

hand to add to meals. Try adding peas and corn to

risotto, make a quick stir-fry with frozen mixed

vegetables and some lean meat or chicken, add

them to a pasta bake, quiche or frittata.
