We believe students learn best in an environment which is emotionally and physically safe.
A child's emotional and physical wellbeing is paramount to achievement. Caring teachers who know their students well are the key to creating a safe and happy school
High expectations for students behaviour are expressed daily in our school. Personal and social responsibilities are themes that carry through every programme
We're here to help - when children do experience difficulty, we work as a team to put things right
Welcome to 2012
Welcome back! We are all set to embark on another school year. A special welcome to all new students and families to Balmacewen Intermediate.
We also have a few new staff this year who I would like to warmly welcome. New to Year 7 are Miss Rachel Smart in Room 1, Miss Phillipa Dick in Room 10 and Mr Rowan Cooke in Room 13. Year 8 has one new teacher; Mr Ollie Yeoman in Room 9. We are also lucky to have Mrs Penny Riley as our new fabrics teacher in the technology syndicate.
The start of the year is always an exciting time when students renew friendships and settle back into school life. Our early focus is to get everyone settled and feeling comfortable in their new environment.
We're here to help! It’s important that communication between home and school starts early and I invite you to our 'Meet the Teacher' evening on Wednesday 8th February from 6.30 -7.30 p.m. It's a great chance to meet your child's teacher and other parents.
I encourage all parents and caregivers to take an active role in our school and look forward to working with you throughout the year.
Kind Regards
Andrew Hunter
