Welcome

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.

Information Communication Technology

Our Deputy Principal, Mr Ralph has done an outstanding job at building up and maintaining so many new ICT devices for use by teachers and students around the school. All but one of our classrooms now have an interactive whiteboard. Our Library has had a makeover with new computers being installed along with a complete rearrangement of the furniture which was conducted by Mrs Gabrovec (she gave up many hours of her own time to complete this). We now have a bank of laptop computers, a bank of netbooks (mini-laptops) as well as 15 iPads. As of last week, the Year 7 class also received a bank of desktop computers which are housed in the clasroom and the wet area of the Visual Arts cluster.

Along with this additional hardware, Mr Ralph and Mrs Gabrovec have been working to assist teachers become more confident in using ICT within their classroom. Many of our teachers are now exploring ways of incorporating ICT in their day to day teaching.

Mr Ralph is also conducting some parent information sessions to inform parents of the benefits of using ICT as well as to explore issues related to student safety in cyberspace. For more information please arrange to chat with Mr Ralph or send him an email Ian.Ralph@det.wa.edu.au
