PRINCIPAL REPORT
DEAR PARENTS AND CARERS
We are fast approaching the end of term, and the end of the year, and looking back on the year we have had, we should all be very proud of our school and it’s communities achievements. Our school has been remarkably resilient and our students have been truly outstanding. The pride our students show when in the playground and their commitment to their learning is truly outstanding and we are grateful.
END OF YEAR SURVEY (1.)
The parent survey linked below will help to clarify and strengthen the important relationship between parent and school. Participation in the parent survey is optional. It should take around 5 minutes to complete. We encourage parents to complete the survey for us to better support you and your child(ren).
OUR WEBSITE IS MOVING
Our school website will be moving to the NSW Government supplied school website service over the next few weeks. From Monday 29 November our current website will be frozen and future updates will only be provided on the new site. We will notify you of this web address as soon as it is official.
PREFECT SPEECHES FOR OUR YEAR 5 STUDENTS
On Thursday 2nd December we are holding our yearly Prefect speeches for our Year 5 students who wish to become a leader in 2022. Iluka Public School values student leadership very highly and students chosen for these very prestigious positions have a great responsibility to lead our school with PRAWN PRIDE. I would like to wish our student nominees all the very best for their speech. We are looking forward to hearing what I am sure will be many quality presentations. Good luck to all students. Please note, one family member who has been double vaccinated can attend the event, will be required to wear a mask, QR check-in at the front office and remain seated.
Can I please take this time to congratulate our 2021 leaders, Oceane, Jade, Tulloch, Emma, Ace and Jack, who have represented our school in an outstanding manner throughout a very challenging year.
