From the Principal

We had a fantastic day last Friday at Beckom, Thank you to Mr Rose for all your organisation it was a fantastic day. While we were busy getting colourful, our Relay team were busy resting after their amazing state carnival results. I would like to congratulate the team on their efforts throughout the year at each of the carnivals, and thank the parents who have had a busy year transporting the team to various carnivals. All your hard work has paid off and you should be very pleased with your efforts.

Tomorrow the Education Director, David Lamb will be visiting the school, to chat about school planning and observe what is happening in our classrooms. From this meeting we will establish the departments key objectives for public schools and how they will fit in the context of our school. On Wednesday I will be meeting with the REIN principals to discuss similar items around school planning. A report on the discussions will be given at next weeks P&C meeting where I will be asking for parent feedback on what direction our community feels our school should be heading in the next 3 years.

I hope everyone has a great week

A message from Mr Rose (Beckom Principal)

Thank you for coming along today. It was a great day with the kids all having a terrific time. The comments from my P&C have been so complementary about the manners and participation of the kids. They have also commented on how well the kids mixed in with each other.

Thank you also for all your work in promoting and collecting for the event. After counting the money that came in today and money that has been donated on line already we have a total of....

$1803.42

When we add the profit from the food stall and raffle we will be over $2000. For such a small group this is a truly remarkable result.

Please thank your communities on behalf of myself and Beckom PS community for this incredible effort.

WE ARE NOW TAKING ENROLMENTS FOR 2018
