Heard on the Hill Term 3, Week 3
From the Principal
Bonjour à tous, and Wanju
I know that it is Week 3 but welcome back. This is my first Heard on The Hill since returning from LSL. Although I did catch COVID during my break, the location for my isolation, east of Marble Bar in the Little Sandy Desert, provided a great distraction. We still have COVID swirling around us. I urge everyone to take individual precautions, stay home when sick and wear a mask indoors.
This afternoon I will speak more about the work you all have been doing in reviewing the progress of our business plan, the influence of our drivers and the input and direction for the school. Suffice to say that we have been and will continue to be future focussed working with partners to provide pathways for students.
Some of it may be challenging as the education sector is on the brink of a disruption (lack of student engagement). I am sure that this will shape the next 10 years in education. There are many great reads for those who look to the horizon to see what the future brings and look to prepare.

Have a great week.

Final costings must be completed by the end of Week 5, Friday 19 August so it can be presented to the Finance Committee and School Board for endorsement.
KINGIA ARTICLES
I'm now asking for Kingia articles for the 2023 edition.
For new staff, the school's Kingia Magazine is our Yearbook and is a summary and historical record of events and school activities. The first edition of the Kingia Magazine was written by students when the school moved to our current site back in 1928!
Articles for the Kingia Magazine can be submitted via the link below or you can email me directly at ellie.mackay@education.wa.edu.au
If you have a number of photos to submit (more than 10): you can drop these into the drive for me to access here: M:\Kingia 2022
Deadline to submit your Kingia article: Friday, 9 September (Term 3, Wk8)
Video for promotions
We love to see what projects are happening throughout the school! Across all the learning areas, we would like to capture a snapshot of what projects, activities and more happens during school for a new promo video that can be shared on our socials and website.
Ellie is available for classroom visits and can even attend incursions and excursions to get great footage of our students in action.
If you have something that you think could be videoed during class time or an incursion/excursion, please email Ellie: ellie.mackay@education.wa.edu.au with more details.
