In 2023, we asked parents their thoughts on school communication. Many expressed the need to streamline information about the school as a key improvement area. Over the past few weeks, the school has undertaken significant work concerning our digital presence as part of our broader work regarding school marketing
Our focus has been on establishing consistent branding and clearly defined responsibilities for the school's communication platforms including those managed by current parents. An audit of previous pages revealed that several were managed by individuals no longer affiliated with the school. For the sake of our school community, these pages must be managed by those currently connected to our school.
As part of this process, the FSSP pages and the Hope/year level pages will now fit under this responsibility which still sits with current parents and is supported by the school. We understand and appreciate that numerous parents have volunteered to administer these pages, and we are truly grateful for their time and expertise the school will continue to provide support whenever it is required.
The school also oversees any social media pages that use the school logo, directly refer to the school, or use information provided by the school as the symbols and name belong to the school and therefore fall under its responsibility.
Please note that any pages not directly linked from the FSSP page are neither authorised by nor affiliated with the school.
The carpark at the western side of the school has clearly marked areas for disability or ACROD parking. We continue to have individuals who do not have this level of access believe that it is appropriate to use these bays as they are only going to be a short time or that there are no other bays. These clearly marked blue bays with the ACROD symbol are for those in the school who require them to be used due to a physical disability. We understand that there is limited parking around the school and we need adults to make better choices around the use of the car park spaces to ensure that those who require these special parking areas can access them. We appreciate your assistance in ensuring these bays remain available for those with a need to access them.
Warm regards

We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of our Girlpower group, which commenced in Term 1 and ran for 8 weeks during school time.
This program was developed and facilitated by our Social Worker, Ms Mary with support from Mrs Sontay. Ms Mary designed it specifically for girls aged 9-11, aiming to build resilience, boost self-confidence, and conquer anxiety.
In today's world, young girls face numerous stressors and challenges that can lead to feelings of worry and fear. Our Girlpower program provided a safe and nurturing environment where girls can learn valuable skills to manage and overcome adversity while fostering a supportive peer community. Over the course of 8 weeks, participants engaged in activities, discussions, and practical strategies that equipped them with the tools needed to navigate life's ups and downs with courage and resilience. Each week offered new insights and opportunities for personal growth, covering topics such as:
- Understanding the roots of anxiety
- Developing mindfulness practices
- Building healthy friendships
- Positive self-talk
- Coping skills
- Problem-solving techniques
We are super proud of the girls and their achievements.
We are already at capacity for our next group which is commencing in Week 9. But if you think your daughter would benefit from this program and is in Year 4/5 please get in touch with Mary Lynch - mary.lynch@cewa.edu.au
