Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and spent some quality time together with your children. We are getting close to the end of term and I know the excitement is building amongst the students, as many of them are already sharing their plans for some wonderful holidays. Before we get there though, there are still some great events happening here at school. Here are some that are coming up this week:
Wednesday 16th
- Middle School Music Concert, where a few of our very talented Primary students are joining in with some Secondary students to put on a concert.
Thursday 17th
- Primary Music Concert, which involves many, many of our gorgeous ELC and 3-6 students in various bands, ensembles and choirs.
Friday 18
- ELC assembly run by PPM.
Have a wonderful week!
Hannah and Jarrod
3 – 6 Student Collection
In recent weeks, we have been navigating the changes that the construction process has brought along in regards to the collection of students at the end of the day. After recent feedback and assessment of the current arrangements, we have made a small change that should still allow for student safety while also keeping traffic moving as quickly as possible on the verge near the Primary oval.
We have now placed a teacher on duty on that edge of the oval, and will be allowing the students to wait behind the timber bollards that are there to keep them safe. Please know that this area is strictly for waiting patiently to be picked up, and no games or playing will be allowed, as this can easily spill over into the parking area.
With that, we will still be asking students to not be waiting at the crosswalk near the Music room, as groups of students here have been negatively impacting the flow of traffic out of the Kiss and Drive.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we look to find the most workable solution that also still keeps our students safe.
Dear Parents

Communication 3 – 6
As you might imagine, and I’m sure many of you are in the same situation, we often receive a large volume of emails on a typical day and are always aware of balancing time spent on emails with time spent on working with your children. We are all conscious of not overloading with digital communication, and we certainly acknowledge that we don’t get it right all the time either. Can we ask for your assistance in working with us on this as we look to find that sweet spot of open, fruitful communication between the extremes of too much and too little?
Just for your information, on a practical note, it is worth noting that we do aim to avoid checking our emails outside of work hours, so you might not get an answer to your email for a day or so. On a similar note, if your email pertains to events during the day (eg. early pick up, appointments, etc.), it would be best to send these ones to the office, adminduncraigprimary@ststephens.wa.edu.au, as we are usually not able to check our emails whilst we are teaching.
Thank you for your understanding with this. We love your children and truly value you being an integral part of their journey here at school.
