TERM 1 WRAP UP
Term 1 has flown by and now it is time to reflect on the term that was.
- Our new prep students have settled into their learning and are enjoying all that Wondall has to offer.
- Our whole school attendance is sitting at 94.1%! We look forward to maintaining this high level of attendance in Term 2.
- All students have demonstrated being ACE (attending, confident and engaged) learners, with a strong focus on being Safe, Responsible and Respectful.
- Some amazing learning experiences have occurred including both in/excursions, school presentations and swimming!
- Modernised classroom refurbishments for C Block
We look forward to continuing successful learning and engagement in Term 2!
Thank you to all the parents/family members who have supported in classrooms, on excursions and in swimming lessons this term. We appreciate the time you have been able to dedicate to supporting our students!
Congratulations and well done to our P&C for the conduct of their Trivia Night last Saturday. An amazing $ 3 000 was raised for our school, thanks to sponsors and attendees.
LEARNING CELEBRATIONS and PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
It was great to welcome parents and other significant family members to our recent Learning Celebrations open afternoon last week and the Parent Teacher Interviews last night.
As you prepare for Term 2 with your child, what feedback did teachers share that you could work on with your child to help their continued progress?
HARMONY WEEK
Last week, we celebrated Harmony Week, which recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds.
Our school turned a sea of orange last Friday as students and staff united together to promote this important theme.

Just a reminder, we have our P-2 Easter Bonnet Parade on Friday morning at 9am in the hall. This is a standing event, and we ask that parents observe from the areas outlined in the map, attached.

QEW SURVEY TERM 2
The Queensland Engagement and Wellbeing (QEW) Survey is designed to measure how state school students view their wellbeing and engagement. The survey collects data from Queensland schools in a consistent and systematic way. The results of the survey tell schools and the department about how groups of students (e.g. year levels and all students in a school) feel about their wellbeing and engagement. This information will allow us to better support our students and meet their needs.
The survey is open to all Queensland state schools, however, participating in the survey is voluntary for schools and students.
Please click on the link below for more information. Should you wish for your child to not participate please email your child’s Teacher or Mrs Amy Cocciolone on acocc2@eq.edu.au
Wondall will be asking the students in year 5-6 to complete this survey.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
With Term 1 concluding on 4 April, we wish our Wondall community a relaxing and safe holiday period. School resumes Tuesday 22 April.
SCHOOL WATCH
Help keep our school safe and secure. Please report any suspicious behaviour on the school grounds to School Watch on 13 17 88 or in an emergency 000.
