Principal's Message - Meaghan Cook

External Validation

On Tuesday of this week, Port Macquarie Campus undertook External Validation. This is a four year event that aims to capture how we are tracking against the School Excellence Framework.  I would like to acknowledge our whole school community in sharing this success.  I would like to share some of the feedback by the Lead Panelist, Mr David Willard – Principal, School Leadership.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher interviews provide an important opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with their teachers. This year as a result of COVID-19 we will be asking parents to provide an expression of interest to request a phone interview with your child's teachers rather than face-to-face parent/teacher conference.

The process will happen exactly the same way as face-to-face but over the phone. Each interview is 5 minutes. Forms need to be completed by Sunday 28 August

Like everything else at the moment, we need to find different ways to do what we normally do. So our P&C Association team has reinvented the Fathers’ Day stall so that our students can show Dad how special he is.

This year you can order your gift in advance using the Father's Day Gift Form which will be distributed to all students and will be made available online. Gifts range from $12.00 - $22.00. All gifts are sourced from four local suppliers: Majestic Theatre, Doppio or Nothing, Hastings Hampers and The Other Chef. So start saving now!
