Issue 15 – Term 3 – Week 9 Wednesday 19th September, 2018 Principal’s Message

Tell Them From Me - Parent Survey The Partners in Learning parent survey is part of the Tell Them From Me suite of surveys on student engagement. The parent survey helps to clarify and strengthen the important relationship between parent and school. The survey is anonymous and can be used either as a one-off survey or over time, with the ability to identify trends within schools and better inform school priorities. The survey is held once a year in Term 3 and is run at the same time as the teacher survey and the second student survey. The survey is conducted entirely online at home or on public computers during the specific survey window. The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete. Schools are provided with a unique URL, which they provide to parents to log into the survey. School leaders receive their school's data within three business days of closing the survey. Your opinion is important is helping the school meet the needs of our school community, especially with regards to student outcomes. Please access the link below and complete the Partners in Learning Parent survey. https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/68935 School Groups/Sports Photo Day Following our school photos earlier in the year, our next set of photos for sports and other groups will be taken on Tuesday 16th October 2018. This will include all PSSA sports groups, environment committee, dance group, signing choir, debating team and band. As a reminder to all our students, all students are required to wear full school uniform. If required, students will then be provided time to change into their sports uniform/jerseys for the photos.

Remembering the Combined Public Schools Music Festival

Thank you to, Miss Robinson, Mrs Dotta, Miss De Giorgio, Ms Munzone, Mrs Olm, Mrs Gray, Mrs Marshall, Mr Forrester and Mrs Hodgson for all your hardwork in showcasing the talents of our students at the Combined Public School Music Festival. Our students and staff did us proud on the night!

Happy Holidays This will be the last newsletter for the term. It is amazing at how fast the year has gone with only one term to go. With Term 4, it will be business as usual with finalising curriculum programs for the year, including assessments, writing reports and end-of-year events but will also include packing everything up, farewelling the old Penshurst PS and moving to the pop-up school at Peakhurst West PS for commencement of operations in 2019. The first day of Term 4 will be Monday 15th October 2018. In the meantime, have a safe and happy school break. Jeff Lie Principal
