Principal's Pen
I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work as Principal here at Enoggera State School. Over the last two weeks I have really enjoyed getting to work alongside staff and meet the wonderful Enoggera children. I have received many a warm welcome – it is a great feeling to be greeted by children throughout the school day.
We held our first assembly on Monday and it was lovely to see the whole school come together to celebrate the achievements of our students of the week. It was also really lovely to have the parents of these children attend to join in the congratulations.
What a beautiful facility EPAC is. I was invited to watch the 4-6 Arts Enrichment program on Friday and was blown away by the amazing performing arts space! It is a facility that is really unique to this school. I was also really impressed with the number of children involved in the Arts Enrichment program – which is no surprise given the arts culture that is embedded within this school. The passion of both students and teachers was evident. It was a real highlight of my week.
Since the start of Term, I have spent time in both the playground and classrooms, working to build relationships with students and staff. It is evident from my visits that there is a real sense of school pride and both staff and children have a real love of the place. This is really a special thing to see and be a part of. I am thoroughly looking forward to my 6 weeks here at Enoggera.
Today Eunice Webb our Assistant Regional Director visited Enoggera State School. She was incredibly impressed with the 'vibe' of the school and how settled and calm the school was. One of our students found Mrs Webb trying to locate the office and kindly introduced himself and escorted her to the Administration Building. She said that it was a real credit to the school to have students conduct themselves the way this young man did.
