Principal's News
Dear families,
I’ll keep it short and sweet for my final newsletter item at Campbell Street Primary School!
First and foremost – thank you to the whole school community for the welcome I received and for the way I’ve been invited ‘in’ during Term 2 and 3.
It’s been a genuine pleasure acting in the Principal role and while I’m sad not to be staying longer, I remain grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to learn and lead in this fantastic school.
To the students and families, the culture of learning and inclusivity here at Campbell Street is something to be proud of and something that I believe will continue to help deliver the best possible outcomes for all the learners who pass through.
I look forward to seeing and hearing more about the Centenary in 2026 and wish you all the best in celebrating that special milestone next year.
I’d also like to thank the wonderfully committed teaching and non-teaching staff for the obvious focus on ensuring positive futures for our students that they bring to school every day.
I’ve really enjoyed becoming part of the team and appreciate everyone’s willingness to work with me on some of the changes we’ve made the past couple of terms.
For now, I wish you all the best for a safe and fantastic school holidays and am sure you’ll look forward to making Ms Sam Jesney welcome as Principal next term.
Yours sincerely,
Stu Warren
Acting Principal

ART
Grotti Lotti Inspired Artworks
Grades 3-6 have worked hard to be inspired by the Australian artist Grotti Lotti (Casey Mason).
This is how her art has been described,
“My art has been described as happy, unique, quirky and contemporary - but I don’t really have any words for it. It is what it is and often my hands work quicker than my head.
All mediums are welcome, I don’t judge however loose watercolours and high pigmented chunky acrylics are my fave! Hands, skewers, pallet knifes, the kid’s texta's: anything I can get my hands on are used in my home studio to create these vivid pieces.”
Our focus was on Australian birds. Students used images of Grotti Lotti art to create a sketch, which was a guide for our first layer of watercolour paint. Once dried we added more detail with watercolours. Our final details were added with coloured marker pens.
Our front entrance and school library are full of our amazing efforts!
Term 3 Physical Education
During Term 3 we have had a focus on Large Ball Games and Skills in Physical Education classes.
Students from Grade 3-6 have participated in Basketball, Netball and Dodging/Throwing games. Their focus has been on developing skills with a game approach, learning how to transfer our ball skills into game situations.
Students in Prep-2 have focussed more on developing their ball skills in bouncing, dribbling, catching, throwing and have moved to some dodging over the last couple of weeks of Term.
Everyone has had great fun and success throughout these learning opportunities, which has been awesome to see.
Assembly Certificates
Congratulations to all students that received a Responsibility Certificate at Assembly on Tuesday 23rd of September.
Every School Day Matters
We love seeing your children at school, every day. Going to school every day gives your child every chance to learn, grow and connect with their friends and teachers. It gives our staff and students a chance to engage with your child.
We all play a part in helping our kids get to school every day. Please know that if you’re struggling to get your kids to school, help and support is available. Talk to us at school or visit Anything can happen - Department for Education, Children and Young People.
