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.

Allergen Aware



Last week our School Board endorsed the school’s ‘Healthy Food and Drink’ policy. Copies of the policy are available from the school office. We will also post a copy on our website. This policy will help clear up the misconception that the school is ‘nut free’. The policy states: “Tuart Hill Primary School is an ‘allergen aware’ school that follows a policy of ‘active avoidance’ . Staff, parents, students and health care professionals work together to create Health Care plans that suit the specific needs of students with allergies. All parents are encouraged to be sensitive to the health care needs of students at our school by being aware of possible allergies and not sending known triggers to school e.g. peanuts, tree nuts.”
