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 front page 20 September 2012

Another term has come and almost gone with this being the last newsletter before the school holidays. Earlier this week you should have received a letter about our Term 3 Open Night which will be held on September 25. In recent years we have been disappointed with the number of parents who have attended this night. This is a good opportunity to look around your child’s classroom and see the kind of work that they have been doing. Teachers have been preparing their classes for the Open Night so it would be great to get as many parents along as possible. This year we are allowing parents to bring their younger children but regular school rules apply and all children must be under the direct supervision of their parents. We also have a sausage sizzle with pre-orders due on Friday September 21.

We are in the midst of athletics carnivals with our main event having been held on September 7. Many thanks go to Mr Ioannou for organising and managing the carnival so well. Congratulations go to Leo for winning the carnival for the first time since 2006. Congratulations also to all our runner-up and champion boys and girls. Mr Ioannou has also organised this year’s Interschool Carnival at Jolimont Primary School. The cross-country, jumps and throws events were held on Tuesday this week with our students representing themselves and our school beautifully in both their effort and behaviour. The main carnival is being held today and the overall results will be posted on my blog: http://mbevan.blogspot.com.au/

Quote for the week…
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"

On Sunday September 9 some of our staff and parents gave up much of their day to run a sausage sizzle at Balcatta Bunnings with proceeds going towards our kitchen garden program. Special thanks is extended to our Business Manager, Vera Hick and her husband Graham who spent many extra hours preparing for this event and then managing the stall on the day.   We are certainly very blessed to have so many staff and community members who are willing to give up their time to support our school. A total of just over $1600 was raised on the day.
