Hi, my name is Stephen Bevan and I am Principal at Tuart Hill Primary School in Perth, Western Australia. Research shows that open and clear communication between home and school is important which is why I have created this blog. As Principal of Tuart Hill Primary School I value your opinions and encourage your comments.Feel free to comment on any of the posts.
I will endeavour to provide you with regular and informative posts about our school and its activities. I ask that your comments be constructive and positive with any concerns or complaints directed to me personally at school.
Tuart Hill Primary School prides itself on the positive, open and friendly culture that has been established. Our vision is to raise the literacy level of all students through the provision of quality teaching and learning opportunities.

Newsletter Week 10 Term 2
From this week's newsletter:
At TuartHillPrimary School we recognise the growing importance of information and communication technology (ICT) in the education of our students. ICT has been a priority for our school since I arrived here. In that time we have progressively installed interactive whiteboards in many classrooms and the Library. We have also started to replace the aging stock of computers in classrooms and have created a mini-lab in the Library which is supported by a bank of 10 laptop computers. A support teacher has been employed 1 day per week to manage the network and help teachers to develop their skills and confidence in using ICT in the classroom. A new website has been built and will hopefully be made available when issues regarding the domain name are sorted out through the Department of Education. Staff now have access to the school’s intranet via the web which aids in their planning. They also receive information in a timely manner and on a regular basis via email. I have now created a blog in which I will be sharing information with parents on a weekly basis (hopefully). This blog will also provide parents with an opportunity to respond to my posts. This will help to provide even greater communication links between home and school. All posts to the blog will be filtered by me prior to their posting on the web. The blog is meant to provide parents with an opportunity to comment on information that is posted and where necessary to provide constructive criticism or ideas. It is not a tool for making complaints. Any complaints should be made directly to me via a face to face meeting. I look forward to utilising this communication tool to engage our school community in positive discussions about our school.
As this is the last newsletter for Term 2 I would like to wish all our students and their families a happy and safe holiday. Monday July 25 is a school development day so school recommences for students on Tuesday July 26. On Monday July 25, staff will be engaged in professional learning and planning at a whole school and cluster level.
