Principal's Report

Student-Centred Improvement Visits

This week we have hosted the Student-Centred Improvement panel. The panel has worked with staff, the leadership team, the community, and students to support the construction of a new strategic plan. 

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to the staff at Campbell Primary School, who throughout our preparation and journey have been incredibly reflective and curious about the ways our practices are student-centred. It is such a privilege to work collaboratively with a team of professionals who are so invested in school improvement.

I also want to thank our School Board Chair, Phillipa Leggo, and P&C President, Harriet Sutton, who worked with the community to facilitate and promote events where the panel was able to meet some of our parents/carers.  These events were an opportunity for the final report to be reflective of our community’s priorities.  

I look forward to sharing the new strategic plan with the community at the end of this term. 

Celebrating our Students

I am very excited to share with our community that Scarlett B (Year 5) recently won 2nd place in the Candid Canberra competition. Her photo was of their cat, Cassie, who looks as though she is deep in thought. Cassie sadly passed away two months ago. The image is now a beautiful momento of a much-loved family pet. 

Well done Scarlett!

.New Electronic Community Sign

Families will notice that the community sign on Chauvel Street has been cordoned off. Next week, the Directorate’s School Facility Management team will replace the old board with an LED school sign.  The installation should only take about a week. Please see below a photo of the design.

This coming Monday is a public holiday in recognition of Reconciliation Week. This year’s theme is 'Now More Than Ever'. The school’s Cultural Integrity team is working across the school to organise events that acknowledge Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievement. On Friday’s Yuma (31 May) a class representative will be invited to share their class’ co-constructed Acknowledgement of Country. Our current global Concept, Country, will beautifully support the learning around the significance of their Acknowledgement.

I cannot believe next week marks the mid-week of the term. Time is flying! I hope all families have a restful long weekend.

Take care,
