From the Principal

To celebrate making it to the last week of Term 3, the Junior School Council have come up with four different themed days for the last four days of this week. The idea is that each day gives an opportunity to do something a little different, share it with your […]

JSC Fun Week

As we come to the end of a very unusual Term 3, I would like to thank every member of our amazing school community for their support during this period of remote learning. It has been a huge challenge in many different ways. We are almost on the last lap […]

End of Term

We have almost made it! The end of term is fast approaching and we are all very much in need of a recharge and refresh. We are so proud of everyone for how you have managed remote learning over the past six weeks. It certainly has been a different term […]

The AP WrAP

There are only a few days left until the 2020 Premiers’ Reading Challenge ends. Drysdale Primary School is encouraging all students to keep reading and recording their books for the challenge this year. Please make sure you log all completed books by Friday night at the latest, so your books […]

Last Days for Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The first week of Term 4 provides the perfect opportunity to hold our very first ‘design your own mascot competition’ as part of personal learning. Using RAISE values and colours, students can design a mascot that may be made into a real costume for special occasions! Anyone can enter and […]

Design A Mascot

Most of our community has caught up with the news that FlexiBuzz has ceased offering its services to schools and that we are now using Sentral’s Parent App. This App links everyone directly to the Sentral Parent Portal and its messaging function. This streamlines the communication option between home and […]

Sentral Parent App

Schools are reminded that the Department of Education and Training (DET) does not provide personal accident insurance for students. Parents and guardians are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including any transport costs. Student accident insurance policies are available from some commercial insurers. These cover […]

Please note the following message from DET:

The arrangements for a staggered start and finish to the school day will continue until the Department of Education advises that we can return to the previous arrangements. This also means that parents are not allowed to enter the school at this time. The Principal team will continue to support […]

Start and End of School

We have made a small adjustment to the internal times of the school day. There is no change to the times for the start and finish of the school day. Recess will now run from 10:40am to 11:00am, lunch will start with ten minutes for eating at 12:40pm followed by […]

Recess and Lunch Times

We had some fabulous volunteers conduct a mini working bee over the school holidays. There were some donated Jacarandas planted in the south lawn terrace to eventually provide some additional summer shade to the new seating areas. The Penfold/McCoughtry gang provided a real burst of energy and generosity when planting […]

Thank You

Welcome back to all our students and members of the community. It has been a great start to Term 3. We can’t wait to see the learning and achievements throughout the coming weeks. Last term we were privileged to visit some classes across the school, or even have some classes […]

The AP WrAp

We are excited to announce that Sentral have released an updated version of their Parent App. This comes after the unexpected closure of FlexiBuzz over the holidays. Using Sentral makes our communication much more streamlined and achieves our goal of using as few systems as possible (the fewer user names […]

New Parent App

Students celebrated the end of a very, very memorable Term 2, by dressing in our ‘Values Colours’. The day was orgainised by the Kids Matter Kids and Junior School Council. There was colour everywhere the students walked around the oval listening to music, it was a great celebration. Our kids […]

Values Parade

While we are managing the impact of COVID 19 please can I remind everyone that sharing food is not permitted. This includes sending cake or lollies to school for the class to share when it is your child’s birthday. Thank you for your understanding.

Sharing Food

What a busy term we have had! We are extremely proud of our families and grateful for the feedback we have received. With school holidays upon us, we hope you get to spend some valuable time together relaxing with family and friends. We had a lovely visit from Luella in […]

Thank you to all the parents who returned the survey about our school camps. We are expecting further advice from the Education Department about camp programs before the start of Term 3. We will make a final decision about our camp program in the light of this advice and no […]
