We have hit the halfway point of the final quarter of the year but there is still so much more to fit in before the end of the school year. 

It was fantastic to see so many of our secondary students up at the track running, jumping and throwing in the amazing weather over the last two days for the Secondary Athletics Carnival.  A massive congratulations to all for such a successful carnival.  A special thanks to Miss Goninon and the HPE team for their organisation and all of the secondary staff for running the events and supporting our students to give their best at the track. 

This week the Leadership Team has been collating data for our School Improvement Plan review.  It has been pleasing to see that we have already achieved some of our two year targets in the first year of the plan. As a Leadership Team we continue to work collaboratively with all of the school community to strive to achieve all of the targets by the end of 2024.

Speaking of 2024, it is exciting to see many of our new Kinder students at school once again for Pre-Kinder. We have also had an increase in the number of students intending to enrol at PDS for Year 11 and 12 in 2024 – but let’s not wish away the next 5 weeks too early.

I would encourage all staff, students and community members to keep up to date with all of the events of the last half of the last quarter and to finish well.

Yours in Partnership,

Geoff Davis
