PARENT OPINION SURVEY – LAST CHANCE
The survey closes this Friday. As you know this Department of Education and Training survey is an efficient way to collect your feedback to determine future priorities for the school. This year we have opened the survey to all families but so far we have only received 10 responses. We sent out the personalised link again today – it should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. Thank you in advance.

SWBPS SAFETY SURVEY
It might feel like our parent surveys are out of control at the moment but posing questions in this format gives us really important data to plan for programs and strategies.
In the coming days we will be sending a link to a google form with 4 quick questions.
A pen and paper version is available if required.

PREP TRANSITION AND YEAR 6 GRADUATION
Our Prep Transition program commences next week and will run for four weeks until Tuesday 8th December. Details of Prep transition dates have been sent to families.
The Year 6 Graduation is scheduled for Wednesday 16th December. We will update parents about the format closer to the date, bearing in mind COVID safe rules will be adhered to according to the most up to date School Operations Guide released by the Department of Education and Training.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS – WEEDING, WEEDING AND MORE WEEDING
We mainly need to focus on the teardrop garden, the veggie patch and the beds outside the music room. The grass is long near the horse paddock and some brush cutting down there would be great!
We would love families to consider working their own patches here at school after hours in a socially distant, COVID safe manner with:
- weeding (byo gloves and tools)
- brush-cutting (byo brush cutter)
- sweeping (byo broom/leaf blower)
We’re also looking for expressions of interest in:
- painting – covering graffiti
- painting – basketball backboard (thanks to Alastair and Edd for volunteering)
- painting – old building near chook run – this is a big job but with a ‘bit by bit’ approach we can do it (2021)
If you can spare the time and energy for these jobs please contact the B & G coordinator Blair Venn at blair_venn@yahoo.com or contact us if you notice something that needs attention.
