From the Principal

Dear St Anne's Community,

It has been a very productive start to Term 3, with students settling back into the school routine with ease.

SHOWCASE IS ON! We are very excited that despite the recent announcement of restrictions, Showcase will go ahead as planned for Week 10 this term. More detailed information will be distributed over the coming weeks. 

Year 11 & 12

Our Year 11 and 12 journey is well under way, with our Secondary teachers undertaking various mentoring and planning sessions in preparation for next year. It is a very exciting and rewarding time. I thank our staff for their enthusiasm, support and efforts as we work through the various stages of planning. 

Staffing

Kristie Winkley started with us at the beginning of the term, teaching Year 5. Kristie is a valued addition to our teaching staff and Year 5 are enjoying their learning. Heidi Jones will also be joining us this term as a Learning Support Assistant. To support our extension into Year 11 and 12, I have advertised a Maths and Science teacher position. This is a great opportunity for someone to join an amazing team of educators and it is a permanent/fulltime position. Chris Wendt (Secondary Wood/Metal Teacher) has announced that he will be resigning from St Anne's at the end of Week 7, Term 4. I will be advertising this position very shortly. 

Uniform

The uniform committee have met twice to date. We will not be changing our current school uniform, except for the sports tracksuit pants. There have been many conversations about these and we will be exploring the option of changing that item. Any change to this requires a 2-year phase in period where the old pants can be worn, as well as the new ones. Uniform Committee Scope:

  • Review the current school uniform
    • Sports tracksuit pants in particular
  • Discuss Lowes and the possibility of having all of our uniform with them. 
  • Design (based on community feedback) a uniform for our Year 11 and 12 students (priority)

Enrolments

I have started the enrolment interviews for 2023 Kindergarten students. If you know of anyone that is yet to hand in their enrolment form, please encourage them to do this asap, as numbers are filling up fast. Our Year 7 numbers are also looking great, with enrolments coming in from West Wyalong, Ariah Park and other Primary Schools here in town. Our very first Year 11 class have been busy choosing their course selections for next year. 

Before School

A friendly reminder that playground supervision starts at 8:30am of a morning.

Maintenance

Over the last holiday period, the Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 classrooms were painted. We are now waiting on the new Autex pin board material to go in the Year 10 room. Our maintenance worker Greg, cleaned carpets, cleared gutters, cleaned the toilet block, changed light bulbs, cleaned the external staircase and the outside eating areas.

Pupil Free Days

Thank you for your support with our two extra pupil free days this term. Week 6 Monday 22nd August and and Week 10 Friday 23rd September.

Take care,

Grant Haigh

Principal
