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.

Newsletter Blurb

Below is the latest blurb from the front page of our newsletter:

Our new garden is certainly a busy place with every class actively involved in some aspect of its daily management and maintenance. Earlier this week, over 30 staff members gathered in the school kitchen for breakfast in order to talk about the possibilities that the garden provides for enhancing teaching and learning programs and to sort out any issues or concerns that exist for its proper maintenance. The overwhelming feeling is one of excitement for what this new resource offers our students and our school. Don’t forget that the first episode of Greenfingers will be shown on Channel 7 this Sunday June 3 at 5.30pm with a second episode scheduled for Sunday June 10 at the same time.

clip_image002We will rely strongly on community assistance in order to keep our garden healthy over weekend and holiday periods. Many thanks go to the parents who have let us know that they are able to participate in our weekend and holiday garden roster. The roster will commence next weekend (June 9 and 10). A copy of the roster will be sent to families who have expressed interest on Tuesday next week. A special breakfast for families that have volunteered to be involved will be held at the school on Friday June 8 at 7.30am. Please RSVP to the office by Tuesday June 5 if you intend coming to the breakfast.

Open and honest communication is an essential part of a happy, healthy school. Parents are always welcome to approach their child’s teacher to arrange a time to meet and discuss their child’s progress or to volunteer to participate in classroom activities. All staff have a school email address which consists of their first name and second name separated by a full stop and followed by @education.wa.edu.au. For example, my email address is Stephen.Bevan@education.wa.edu.au. Email is a quick and easy form of communication which you are welcome to use although proper protocols and etiquette should always apply. Issues and concerns should always be followed upclip_image003 with a face to face meeting. I have a blog which usually contains up to date information about what is happening at school: http://mbevan.blogspot.com.au. If you choose to ‘follow’ the blog you will receive an email every time a new post is uploaded. You can also leave comments on the blog. Links to our school Flickr account and other relevant websites are also available on the blog.
