Did you know that you can help fundraise for us at Rebel Sport?

Did you know that Randwick Public School is part of the Rebel Sport Community Giveback scheme? All you need to do is, next time you're in Rebel, buying some sports equipment for your fast-growing kids, ask to set up a Rebel Active account and link it to Randwick Public School. It doesn't cost anything and the P&C gets points equivalent to 5% of everything you spend in Rebel. We can spend on raffle prizes and school equipment.

Art Fundraiser Committee

This year we are running an Art Fundraiser and we are looking for a small group of parents/carers to manage it with the support of our wonderful Fundraising expert Dimity. It would be a good fun thing to do with your parent/carer buddy or a great way to meet someone new and give back to the school. Get in touch to find out more.

Teacher Strike on Tuesday 7 December

​

Dear Randwick Public School Parents and Carers,

 

The NSW Teachers Federation has voted unanimously in favour of a Teachers Strike to occur on Tuesday the 7th of December. 

 

Gallop Inquiry findings recommended major changes to the working conditions for NSW teachers. 

 

Growing expectations and diminished pay in comparison to other professions are fueling significant staff shortages. This impacts the recruitment and retention of the best people for our kids. These shortages are projected to hit a crisis point within 5 years. 

 

“The time teachers have each week outside the classroom has not increased since the 1980’s” (John Dixon, General Secretary, NSWTF). Given the significant workload increases of digital technology, reporting, and governance, this does not support our teachers to be their best selves for our children. Increasing workloads and decreasing work-life balance need to be addressed.
