sport and carnivals, classroom rosters, P&C and School Board support, book club, uniform
shop. An invitation is extended to all parents who have helped at the school this year to
attend a Thank You afternoon tea on MONDAY 17th December from 2:00pm. Staff will be
attending this social occasion. Please RSVP by emailing the school, or notifying your classroom
teacher.
Student Reports: Kindergarten to Year 7
All students will bring home a Semester 2 Report on Friday 14th December, with the exception
of Kindy Red as their reports will be issued on Thursday 13th December. If you need
clarification of anything in the report, please discuss with classroom teachers.
End of Year
Parents are reminded that students finish 2012 at 3.00pm on Tuesday 18th December and
return to school on Monday 4th February 2013.
Class Lists 2013
Class lists for 2013 will be placed on display in the undercover area from 1.30pm on Friday
1 February. Parents may have placed a request for consideration in class placements. Not
all requests can be accommodated and the school will place students in classes after considering
all factors e.g. gender, friendships, dates of birth, parent requests and teacher
input. Therefore it is unwise to make an assumption of who will be your child’s teacher. All
will be revealed next year.
Students Leaving the School
Parents must inform the school in writing if students are leaving the school and not returning
in 2013.
Presentation Night
Your understanding is sought as due to inclement weather predicted on Wednesday and
Thursday, the Presentation Night has been moved to Monday 17th December 5:45 arrival
for 6:00pm start. Wild weather in December?
Farewell
We say farewell to Ms Frances McDermott, Mrs Marija Joyce and Ms Kate Allaway: all fantastic
teachers who have stepped up into a teaching role as required.
Thank You
Churchlands is a top public school and sustaining success can not be left to chance. I would
like to thank the wonderful staff at Churchlands the deputy principals, teachers, education
assistants, office staff, library support staff, gardener, cleaners, School of Instrumental Music
teachers, school chaplain, school psychologist and relief teachers for your hard work,
expertise, professionalism and dedication in building Churchlands’ reputation as an excellent
school and community. When this energy is combined with strong parental support, an
effective school board and P&C Association then a successful school is achieved.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my position as Acting Principal and I have gained valuable experience
in leading a school. Next year represents a new chapter in Churchlands story with
the appointment of Ms Donna Snow as principal and I will return to my role as Deputy Principal.
Thank you for your support and take care over the festive season and summer break.
Tracey Oakes
Principal
