Welcome back to the start of what promises to be a very busy and exciting term of teaching and learning. It has been wonderful to see the children return to school refreshed, rested and ready for learning. The information teachers have gained over the past term will help to inform and enhance the teaching and learning for this term.

We would like to welcome the new families who have joined us at Craigslea. We trust that you will enjoy being part of our vibrant school community.

ANZAC Day – School Service

To commemorate Anzac Day, we are holding our school Anzac service on Tuesday 23 April at 9:30am in the school hall. This will be a whole school event to recognise our service men and women. We welcome our wider school community, parents and carers to attend this service, particularly current or former service men and women.

Queensland Engagement and Wellbeing Survey

Over the next few weeks, students in Years 4, 5 and 6 will be asked to take part in the Queensland Engagement and Wellbeing (QEW) Survey.

We know that wellbeing and engagement are important parts of your child’s life at school. The QEW Survey is designed to measure how students view their wellbeing and engagement across different topics. The information we get from the survey helps us better understand and support our students.

An information letter will be sent out to parents and carers closer to the time. If you have any questions, please contact me on nmarh1@eq.edu.au. More information, including FAQs, can be found on the Department of Education website.

Active School Travel

Wednesdays at Craigslea, are Walking Wheeling Wednesdays! Our school is a part of the Brisbane City Council initiative – Active School Travel.

Walking, biking, or scooting to school not only helps to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution but also provides a great opportunity for physical activity and socialising with friends and neighbours. By choosing to travel actively to school, you can help to promote a more sustainable and active lifestyle for yourself and for our community.

Don’t forget to mark in your calendars our upcoming events in Term 2:

How will you actively travel to school next Wednesday?

Have a fantastic fortnight of fun and learning,

Natalie
