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.

Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members

2012 has been a wonderful year with many excellent activities and so much learning taking place. The students at our school are great to work with and they are all a credit to you their parents and carers. Special thanks need to go to all our parents and carers who actively supported the school through their participation in the P&C as well as other key activities throughout the year e.g. Garden volunteer helpers.

Our staff are also a fantastic group of dedicated professionals who care very much about your children and work tirelessly to see them achieve to their full potential. I want to thank all our staff for their hard work in 2012. I would like to especially recognise Mrs Hick (our Registrar) who has helped make our transition into an Independent Public School so smooth.

It is at this time of year that we often say goodbye to people who are moving on. Mr Kettell is one of those people who will be taking up a teaching position at Subiaco Primary school in 2013. Mrs Matthews will also be leaving at the end of this term. I want to thank these teachers for their work at our school and wish them all the best for their future careers. Mr Kettell will be replaced by Mrs Ruth Rice.

For those who don’t already know, I will be participating in the Teacher Exchange program in 2013 but will return as Principal in 2014. Mrs vanderWal and Mr Ralph will step into the Principal’s position while I am away. I will be teaching a Year 6/7 class at Okanagan Landing School in Vernon, British Columbia (Canada). I hope to stay in touch with everyone and will endeavour to keep you all posted about my adventures on my blog http://mbevancanada.blogspot.com.au . I will not post to my regular blog while I am away http://mbevan.blogspot.com.au . My exchange partner is Mr Aaron Hoffman.

For the students and families that are leaving our school I wish you all the very best for the future. This school has a long and rich history which you are a part of. I hope your memories of Tuart Hill Primary School are fond ones and that you will remember with pride the days that you spent here.
