Baranduda Primary School Blog

Starting in week 6, term 1, 2011 we will be trialling the introduction of a “reverse recess”.  This will involve students eating their snack and having a quiet time at the end of their second break instead of at the start.  This is to promote better eating and calmer behaviour.  We welcome your feedback on this trial.  Please ask your children what they think as the change becomes routine and record comments on this blog.

Our school is 130 years old this year. 

What was life like when our school started?  What was happening 130 years ago?

Do some research and list what you find out on this blog.

It would be great to hear from all the students who graduated from our school in 2009.

How are you finding school in Year 7?

What are you missing about our school?

Do you think we helped you to be ready for secondary school?

Please tell us what you think – we would love to hear from you.

Welcome to all the new Prep parents in our school. You have just gone through a very exciting time with your prep child beginning their first term of school. We would like to hear your feedback regarding what your experiences have been and your reflections on the transition program at Baranduda Primary. 

Please leaves us your comments. We look forward to hearing about your recent adventures.

Welcome to the start of the school year for 2010. We have lots of exciting things planned for the year so come along with a smile on your face ready to get stuck into it. I am looking forward to meeting all the people who are new to room 8 and catching up with those of you who I have taught before.

We have been busy learning about celebrations. We have learnt about Chinese New Year. They have big parades and they wear the colour red for luck.We have made some red lanterns and  Chinese Dragons.

We have also been learning about St Patricks day. It is an irish celebrations. They wear green and in some places even make the water green. They are celebrating and remembering St Patrick becuase he built schools and churches in Ireland after he escaped from being a slave.

Recently we received results for our 2009 Parent Opinion Survey, which was distributed to 40 randomly selected families.

While we are pleased with the improvement in responses to 11 out of 18 aspects of our work, we are concerned about parent perceptions regarding behaviour, social skills and student safety.  We would like to give you the opportunity to comment on these areas, especially if you did not get a chance to respond on the survey.

What do you think the school needs to do to improve parent perceptions regarding the behaviour, social skills and safety of our students?
