Thank you to all for making our 'Arts Night' a huge success!

We couldn't have done it without the combined efforts of students, staff and parents.
Thank you also to all of the parents who volunteered for this event!

Thank you to our School Council for their generous donation of a piano!

Also, a big thank you to our parents and to Parks for ensuring the safe and timely delivery of the piano.

It is a wonderful addition to our music programme and just in time for Winterfest.

Dear Parent(s), Guardian (s),

It’s here – another school year at the Island Public/Natural Science School!
Welcome to our new families and welcome back to those of you who are returning from what I hope was a relaxing and enjoyable summer.

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself and say how excited I am to be at the Island Public/Natural Science School. Little did I know while completing my final teaching practicum at no other than the Island Public/Natural Science School so many years ago, that I would once again return to that very same school in the role as Principal. I’m thrilled.

I look forward to working with a dynamic staff, School Council, parents and our broader community in continuing to create a safe, inviting and inclusive environment; an environment where children flourish and our belief in them mirrors their belief in themselves. Our goal as a community – teachers, students, and parents working together – is to maintain the caring school culture we are so proud of. We strive to provide an environment where all students can realize their academic potential as well as their potential to make a difference in their community. We encourage full participation, critical thinking, independence, responsible self-esteem, and appreciation of others. It is this shared effort that provide our students with the tools and skills necessary for the future.

Sincerely,

Karen Urban
