Welcome,

Welcome back to another exciting school year.  It has been pleasing to see so many returning students and to welcome new families into our school.  The children have settled quickly into their classrooms and have reconnected with staff and friends seamlessly after what can only be described as an unusual and unpredictable summer. We are very mindful that for some families the impact of the extreme weather conditions has been significant.  Please contact the school if you feel you or your child may require any additional support.

Thank you to the parents who attended the Kindergarten and Year 5 and 6 parent information sessions last week. We are looking forward to seeing our Year 1- 4 Parents at their information sessions tomorrow.

This year we have an amazing Educational team!

School Improvement Plan 2020-2024

Each school undertakes a school review as an integral component of its five-year improvement planning cycle. The reviews are an important part of how the Directorate supports and monitors school improvement. Reviews provide schools with quality and independent feedback, tailored to the school’s context. Each school is reviewed at least every five years, providing valuable opportunities for self-reflection, planning and improvement. Our school improvement planning is grounded in evidence from research and practice and expressed in terms of improvements in measurable student outcomes. Below is an excerpt from our 2020-2024 School improvement plan which will be available through the website shortly. Staff at Campbell Primary School are currently working collaboratively to refine our annual strategies and actions towards our priorities over the next five-year cycle.  Updates on our progress towards our priorities and our targets will be provided regularly through the newsletter.
