Principal News
Dear YSS Community,
This newsletter entry will be my last and Mrs Eunice Webb returns as Principal at the start of Term 4. Thank you for welcoming me into your school this term. I have absolutely loved my time at YSS. Your children are curious learners and the work they do inside and outside the classroom is quality learning, because the teaching in this school is quality.
All the very best and have a lovely safe break after our final week of learning next week.
Student Code of Conduct
This term we have been working on the revision of the Student Code of Conduct, which will be published on the school website on the last day of term, in preparation for Term 4 and beyond. The process for the revision included feedback from staff and students, and parents/carers via the P&C. The revised Student Code of Conduct builds upon the previous iteration and recognises that YSS already has high expectations of student behaviour and engagement. The revision introduces the learning asset of ‘contributor’ and in time we will be going through the following matrix with students to explicitly reinforce our community’s high expectations of the learning behaviours.
Gratitude
Over the last few weeks, our teachers have been sharing how they are receiving emails of gratitude from parents and carers, for sharing what’s been happening in classrooms with parents/carers. We recognise our students are quite tired towards the end of term and teachers have made a special effort to recognise student effort and their respectful behaviours. It is great to hear of the email exchanges between parents/carers and teachers in working together to support student learning. Thank you!
Regards
Perry
