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.

School Board Meeting

Last week the School Board held their Term 2 meeting. At the meeting we reviewed the school's current financial position, budget and expenditure and noted that all is going well. We discussed the recently advertised position on the School Board for which we received no nominations. This was very disappointing. The Board decided not to readvertise until later in the year.

At the meeting I outlined the process for replacing me in 2013 when I go on teacher exchange to Canada. Our Deputy Principals will share the Principal's position with Mrs vanderWal taking on the role in Semester 1 and Mr Ralph in Semester 2. The Deputy positions will then be filled by interested teaching staff.

The incoming exchange teacher, Mr Aaron Hoffman will be provided with a senior primary class in Room 11.

The School Board also looked at a draft Workforce Plan which outlines future staffing needs and outlines strategies we will use to fill these needs. This item was carried over for further discussion at the next meeting on September 5.

General Business that was discussed included:
  • the success of the Greenfinger TV program and the positive impact it has had on our school community
  • the extension of Mrs Harlond's sick leave due to her ongoing medical treatment.
Our next meeting will be on September 5. Community members and parents are welcome to attend.
