Dear Families, Next week a team of Principals will visit our school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This team is from the School Improvement Unit and will conduct a review of what we do across all aspects of our school. Each school in Queensland has a review team within their school every 4 years. They spend the days understanding the school, pu’ng together their findings and a key set of recommenda)ons for us to work on over the next 4 years. The team will commence with discussing our school processes and procedures with the Leadership Team and then hold individual mee)ngs with most members of staff and some students. On Monday morning the Review Team will be introduced to our students on Good Morning Assembly. They will take the opportunity to speak with parents at pick up )me on either Monday or Tuesday a1ernoon. The review team will have a general chat with parents about their child and how they are going at our school. Should you wish to have any addi)onal informa)on about our school review next week, please see me. I will be discussing the findings of the review for the up coming P&C mee)ng on Friday 22nd March. Have a great fortnight.

We have had a reduc)on in Physical misconduct in the last week which is very pleasing. Please con)nue to talk to your children about our school expecta)ons when at home as this helps us at school as well. SWIMMING starts next week. We have had many forms handed in but need the payment as well. Payment was due last Friday. PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS will be commencing in Week 8 and week 9, le9ers will be sent home next week. The process for selec)ng our 2019 School Captains has begun. 27 students were nominated in Year 6 by teachers. The staff then voted on par)cular students which narrowed it down to 7 students. These 7 students will be elected as either School Captain or Student Council Captain. The nominees for School Captain for this year are: Clare Owens, Tyson Nguyen, Antony Nguyen, Jessica Le, Resa Williams, Fatai Pulu, and Queenie Limas. Congratula)ons to those wonderful Eagles for being nominated. Last Friday many of them took the assembly for the first )me and did a great job. On Thursday they presented their speeches in front of staff and year 4-6 students. The combined Leaders Assembly will take place with the Term 1 Academic Assembly on Wednesday 3rd April from 9.15am in the Mul)purpose Hall. More informa)on will follow later. This week the Kindness Club have set up a box in the office area for students to nominate staff that they appreciate. On Monday there were many students filling in forms which was wonderful to see. It is great for our staff to be appreciated by the students and to see the difference that they are making in the student’s lives. Well done Eagles, keep those nomina)ons coming in. It is hard to believe that we are half way through the school term. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work that all the staff do every day here at RESS. You have all contributed to making the first half of the term enjoyable. Stay safe, Eagles Rebecca AITKEN-CARRUTH Deputy Principal
