FROM DR ROBERTS
As mentioned in the last Hawker Headlines, the mandated bi-annual National School Opinion Survey is due this year. The online survey is an opportunity for parents, staff and the older students to provide feedback on how well they think the school is progressing and make constructive comments on how we could improve. We encourage ALL families to complete one survey please. The link https://www.schoolsurvey.edu.au/s/53SGWtYL was sent out in the SkoolBag on Monday 13 June. For those who complete the survey, they may enter the Family Raffles for various year groups.
Congratulations to Mrs Codi Jeffries (our Kindergarten teacher) for her successful application in the Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee. The application was huge and time consuming but Mrs Jeffries persevered and was rewarded! The money will fund the project to plant trees at the far end of the oval which we will combine with our 40th anniversary celebrations in term 4. A huge thank you Mrs Jeffries for applying on behalf of the school community.
There has been a great deal of media attention on anti-vaping which can be detrimental to health. As a Department, we are committed to playing our part to raise awareness of the impacts of vaping in the community. You would be aware that, unless prescribed by a doctor for smoking cessation purposes, it is illegal in WA to sell e-cigarette devices and nicotine vaping products to anyone regardless of age. Of course, all school sites are Smoke-Free. For more information, please see the link to Fact Sheets.
We are into our second week of in-term swimming and every day, students are learning, not only how to swim, but also how to be more organised and how to change back into school uniforms more quickly and efficiently. Well done students and a huge thank you to all staff who assist and particularly Mr Etheridge for his planning.

A note will be sent via SkoolBag showing the name of the song your child/children’s class will be dancing to, along with the costume needed for their performance. As mentioned in the note; you are not required to buy any items…they can be created at home.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
