News from the Principal
We have had a busy week, with many things to celebrate.
Firstly I would like to acknowledge how wonderful our
celebration of learning, participation and achievement was at
the Presentation Evening last Tuesday evening. It was a night
of celebration. Well done to all students who participated and
were acknowledged for their performances at Deloraine
Primary School in 2014. It was pleasing to see our community
come out and celebrate with us.
Over the weekend Mrs Kettle showcased members of our
Choir at the Deloraine Carols by Candlelight. This was a
really pleasant community event and another great
opportunity for our students. Thanks Mrs Kettle.
On Monday evening we enjoyed a wonderful celebration with
our Grade 6 Leavers. They made such a great effort, looked
fantastic, and presented themselves as very proud and
responsible students. The evening was fun, and definitely
enjoyed by the students and the staff who attended. Special
mention must be made for the contribution of the School
Association and the key ladies who organised and catered for
the evening. The food was absolutely splendid. Thanks to
Suzanne, Patsy, Alicia, and all the other helpers. The Grade 5
students who hosted and waited on tables did a wonderful
job. Well done to them. And thanks to Mrs Harvey,
Mrs Beams, Mrs Kettle and Mr Case – who have contributed
to the learning and participation of the Grade 6 throughout
the year, and created a wonderful night for them all to look
back on with great memories. I certainly enjoyed listening to
the students share some of their memories – most significant
was the mention of Maurice and how much he is missed.
Reports were posted and should have arrived in homes early
this week. These reports are a summary of your child’s
learning since mid year, and include assessments for 5 subject
areas as well as a summary of participation in a range of areas.
If you have any questions regarding the report, please talk
with your child’s teacher.
This morning our School Association hosted a parent meeting
to discuss the impact of the budget and staffing allocation for
2015. A summary of our discussion is with this newsletter.
Tomorrow at 9.25 we will come together to enjoy our final
Assembly for 2014 to celebrate the achievements of our
students for this term. We will also, sadly, farewell some staff
at this assembly. Mrs Anna Youd will be taking maternity leave
and we wish her all the best. We will farewell Mrs Justine
Page, Miss Belinda King, Miss Shellee Cooke, Mr Chris Hanley,
Mrs Bernadette Bennett, Miss Rachel Chivas and very
significantly Mrs Jane Gibson. We hope that you will join us.
Unfortunately we are not in a position to confirm all teachers
for 2015. Therefore as class placements will be posted out
this afternoon there will be several classes with ‘To be
advised’. Please be assured that we are doing our best to
finalise this information, and we understand how frustrating
this is for families, but it may well be in January that this
information becomes available to us. We will inform families
of this information when it is confirmed with us. Finally, I
would like to thank the individuals and families who have
contributed their positive outlook on our school and the
work that all of our teachers, ASTs and I do with your
children on a day to day basis. I truly appreciate the
conversations that have promoted enhanced learning, and
social and emotional outcomes for your children; and there
have been many. Thank you for your collaboration and
partnership with us. As I mentioned at the Presentation
Evening – we will do great things together when we work in
partnership. Have a wonderful, safe and happy holiday.
