Welcome back to a new school year. A special welcome to all the new children and their families who have joined us at Eastwood Primary School. We had 58 new children commence their primary education on Monday. There were many excited smiles, sad faces and tears, but fortunately most of the mums and dads recovered! We also had 19 children commence their schooling through years
1 - 6. We welcome them and their families to our school. Our current enrolment is 323.
We also welcome the following new staff members:
Ashley Hill in Junior School
Matthew Heathwood in Junior School
Shai Minifie in Middle School
Bianca Mason in Senior School
Beth Thomas in Senior School
Heather Mills taking LOTE (Auslan)
Wendy Vellere as Teacher of the Deaf (TOD)
Christina Monk as Teacher of the Deaf (TOD)
Please take the time to introduce yourself to these new staff members.
In 2015 we have a total of 42 (including part-time) staff members!
The next few weeks are very important here at school as everyone settles into the new school year. Our aim is to make our students feel comfortable and successful in their new year level and classroom. Your child’s teacher will be working closely with the class to establish classroom rules and routines. They will discuss behaviour and work expectations and set the tone for the year. Teachers are also currently working on developing a picture of the capabilities of each student. Lots of assessment happens at the beginning of the year so that we gain an understanding of what your child already knows and what skills they need to develop or refine.
