News from the Deputy Principal
Term 3
Welcome back to families and students. Term 3 is a great opportunity for our students to work on those areas that were identified in reports to be improved. If attendance is one of those areas then it is a great chance to make sure you turn up to school every day.
Please find information concerning the NAPLAN assessment results sent home Monday.
The P & C will hold their next meeting on 7th August, 2023 at 7pm in the Staffroom. All members of our Blackwell community are welcome to attend.

Parents are able to make online payments to the school for amounts owing for students, via a secure payment page hosted by Westpac. Payments can be made using either a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card, and can be made via computer. The payment page is accessed from the front page of the schools website by selecting $ Make a payment Button below.
Items that can be paid include the school pack, excursions, creative and practical arts activities (these include choir, drama and dance). There is also a category called ‘Other’ to cover items not covered in the previous headings. Other can be used to make a complete payment of a school invoice.
