Principal’s Report

Everyone may have noticed that the “Spider” climbing frame has been removed from the Adventure playground as it had been vandalised and was unsafe. Thank you very much to John Cornell for offering to remove it for us, to make way for another exciting addition to the playground – stay tuned! Thank you also to the Weir family, Patric Soussan and Julie Bowyer for their continued efforts and planning to improve our schoolgrounds.

All families who have applied via the Student Insight Platform to enrol their Prep 2025 students at Emerald Primary School should have a notification email now and can proceed to accept the offer and enter the required information.

We are looking forward to meeting all of your new (and returning!) families! If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at school.

WE WANT OUR PARENTS / CAREGIVERS / GUARDIANS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results to assist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open online from Monday 5th August to Friday 30 August 2024.

All families are invited to participate in the survey.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones.

The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages. Resources are also available in additional languages to assist parents / caregivers / guardians who speak a language other than English at home. Please reach out to your child’s teacher, or the school directly for survey guides in your language.

The survey results will be communicated to parents / caregivers / guardians through annual reporting and via the school website.
