Term 1 Learning Wrap Up
Term 1 has flown by and now it is time to reflect on the term that was.
- We have a school enrolment of 628 students in 27 classes.
- Our whole school attendance is sitting at 94%! We look forward to maintaining this high level of attendance in Term 2.
- Our new prep students have settled into their learning and are enjoying all that Wondall has to offer.
- All of our students have demonstrated being ACE (attending, confident and engaged) learners with a strong focus on being Safe, Responsible and Respectful.
- Our P&C has supported our school with generous donations of funds raised which has seen the purchase of 100 new Ipads
P&C Executive
On behalf of our school community, we thank our P&C committee for their contributions in 2022. 2022 was a significantly successful year for our P&C which has seen the school community supported with different events, fundraisers and donations to our school. On 14 March, the Annual General Meeting was held and we thanked the outgoing executive, whilst electing positions for 2023. I am pleased to announce the 2023 elected members:
Executive Committee
President: Martin Watchorn
Vice President: Sam Aitchison
Secretary: Matthew Rowan
Treasurer: Wendy Willis
Please support our P&C- it is led by volunteers to enrich our school environment for all children and families.
