The Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey for Year 4, 5 and 6 students is a universal approach to supporting student wellbeing and has provided our school with wellbeing data to support our improvement planning around student wellbeing. This is the last of our data to share and we are highlighting our school data from the Positive Sense of Culture and Identity domain, which shows the importance of learners having a positive sense of identity and belonging, and are optimistic about their future and success in learning.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of this year's performance of the Pied Piper. It was an absolute joy to watch. The talent and skill of our students is just remarkable, as is their confidence and resilience.

Thank you to Cheryle Page for once again offering this opportunity for our students.
