Welcome Back: This week we welcome back Mr Logan who will be returning to his Deputy Principal position. On behalf of the school community I would like to thank Mrs Harvey for the outstanding job that she has done as Acting Deputy Principal during the last nine weeks. Mrs Harvey will be returning to her previous position in the school.
Early Years Fashion Parade: I would like to thank all of the staff, students and community members who spent many long hours preparing and organising for the Fashion Parade that was held last Saturday evening. All of the feedback regarding this activity has been positive and all reports are that this event was a lot of fun and was received very well by everyone who attended. A great deal of time and effort goes into the organisation of an event such as this so, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed.
Graffiti: Unfortunately, we have experienced another graffiti incident over the weekend. This time there have been 5 different buildings affected as well as cement paths painted with black spray paint. The school has been sprayed with inappropriate words, threats to teachers and illustrations that are offensive and unacceptable in any school setting. I would like to thank our school cleaners, our Schools Officer and our Business Services Manager who are required to spend a great deal of time dealing with this issue which impacts on their other daily duties. The Queensland Police Service is required to investigate this incident which is also valuable time that is wasted on a mindless act that should not have occurred in the first place. The frustrating things about graffiti and vandalism in our school is that as a school community we feel violated that people would treat our school with such a lack of disregard when we are very proud of our school and it’s environment, the blatant lack of respect for our students and staff and the cost involved to restore the school to its original state. The cost for making repairs and repainting the effected areas comes from the Kuluin school’s grant account. The last incident which occurred in Term 3 cost our school almost $600 which is money that should be spent on our students learning. If anyone has any information regarding this incident could you please refer the matter onto the Maroochydore Police.
Remembrance Day Service: Our student leaders will be conducting a Remembrance Day Service on Wednesday at 10:40 am for our Year 6 & Year 7 students and community members. This commemorative service will be held at the front of the school where the flag poles are situated. I would like to thank Mrs Doyle for organising and coordinating this service for our students.
