FOCUS ON ENGLISH IMPROVEMENT

Our commitment to improving student outcomes in English and reading continues to be a key priority. Teaching teams have engaged in focused data conversations with the leadership team, unpacking class-level achievement data to identify trends and areas for targeted support.

Through our case management process, teachers are identifying students requiring additional support or extension, sharing successful strategies, and discussing next steps when strategies don’t yield the desired results. This collaborative approach ensures that no student slips through the cracks and that our practice remains responsive and evidence-based.

Research consistently shows that when teachers work together, student outcomes improve.

HELP SHAPE OUR SCHOOL'S STORY

I believe a strong school culture starts with shared values and a clear sense of purpose. As we continue to shape our school’s future, we want to hear from you — our parent and carer community.

I am inviting all families to participate in a short survey to share what you value most about education, and the words you feel best reflect the spirit and identity of Wondall Heights State School.

Your feedback will help us better understand what matters to our community and guide how we communicate our shared vision and values.

OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA (OLA)  CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Exciting changes are happening outside the library as construction continues on our new Outdoor Learning Area (OLA). This space is being transformed into a dynamic learning environment where students will be able to work collaboratively at outdoor tables, engage in small group discussions, and enjoy presentations in the amphitheatre-style seating.

While the final design may differ slightly from the concept drawings, they offer an exciting glimpse into what’s to come. We are hopeful that construction will be completed in time for students to enjoy the new space at the start of Term 4.

This project would not be possible without the generous support of our incredible P&C, who have played a major role in bringing this vision to life. Their ongoing contributions ensure all students — current and future — benefit from enhanced learning environments.

The P&C is a vital part of what makes Wondall Heights such a fantastic school. We encourage families to consider joining. Meetings are held in Weeks 3 and 8 each term on Tuesdays at 6:00pm. Everyone is welcome!

WOSHC DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP SAFETY IN STAFF CARPARK 

Please exercise caution when using the top car park for WOSHC drop-off before 7:30am and pick-up after 3:45pm. We have had several near misses and wish to ensure the safety of all students and families.

A few important reminders:

• Do not cut through the car park. Please use the designated pedestrian gates at all times
• Respect all reserved parking spaces

Additionally, in the coming weeks, repairs will be taking place on the boom gate and large gates.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our school safe.

Yours in Education,

Jonas Shantz

Principal
