Week 4, Term 4
Principal Note
Welcome to week 4! Last week, I was fortunate to spend three days working with Assistant Regional
Director’s, cluster colleagues and with other hard-working dedicated Principals from the region. The
meetings throughout the week allowed Principals to examine new structures and policies that will be
implemented in the region from 2015, which will provide more autonomy and accountability at a school level
(including staffing allocations and decisions). This week, Principals also examined new pedagogy and
curriculum models.
The end of the school year is not far away – only 5 school weeks left! Everyone at Windorah SS are still busy
completing work for the year and preparing for next year.
This Friday we celebrate the great work and commitment of our teachers on World Teachers’ Day. We will be
holding an afternoon tea at 2:15pm (followed by a sport activity) and hope that you will join us in thanking our
teachers for the work they do.
