Welcome to Harlaxton State School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 school year! I am extremely proud to serve as principal of this amazing learning community for my 9th year and to continue to support the students of Harlaxton Stet School. Our school motto is “Making Connections & Creating Opportunities”. As a school we will continue to strive for academic excellence and social and emotional well-being for all our students while looking through a lens of equity and inclusion.
I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school in the area or have relocated from another city, state or country. We are excited to share with you all that Harlaxton has to offer and believe you will soon feel, as we do, that Harlaxton School is a special place for all children. Our educators, support staff, families and Multicultural Hub are ready to welcome you into the Harlaxton Community.
Our teachers and staff are eager to meet their new students and begin this year’s journey with them. The dedicated staff work tirelessly to engage in professional learning opportunities, update our instructional models, class routines, and expectations, all with the goal of fostering academic success and a true sense of connectedness and belonging for our students. Our primary goal is to ensure student proficiency in academic subjects. Our staff has been trained in the Positive Behaviour for Learning. We will work together to create a solid foundation for our students so that they have the opportunity to become self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens.
Please be sure to read the Harlaxton Herald each Monday night as it contains important information from the school and Multicultural Hub. Links to each week’s Gazette are posted on our school’s website.
I look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. The Harlaxton staff always make a priority of working together as a caring and compassionate learning community with professionalism, teamwork, action, and expertise. We will always put the best interests of our students at the centre of our purpose. Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay connected.
Please feel free to contact the school by email or call to make an appointment to speak to staff.
