Drury School

Black and white themed non-uniform day coming up on June 12th in support of the All Whites campaign at the Football World Cup.

Don’t forget Pink Shirt Day today.

Thank you to all the Drury students, families and staff who came along to the Drury Community Anzac Service this morning. A huge congratulations to student leaders Anna, Tyler and Bernhardt for representing our school so well.

Enjoy your long weekend, see you all on Tuesday.

Today we took part in the State of Play survey with CLM. A group of students from Years 1-8 worked with together to identify things they would like to do in their break times. Play is such an important aspect of being a child! At lunchtime our students were able to vote on things they would like to see added to our school environment, we look forward to gathering all this information to support our staff and Board in making some exciting resourcing decisions.

Please join us on Saturday at our local ANZAC service, our school group will meet at 10:45am ahead of the 11am serivce. Students should attend in full school uniform, they will be part of the official procession and singing during the service. This is also a great opportunity to support student leaders, Anna, Tyler and Bernhardt, who have speaking roles in the ceremony.

Celebrating the end of term with some great news about our attendance. We have increased our regular attendance from 67% in term 1, 2025 to 78% in term 1, 2026! This is a huge improvement and means we are almost meeting the government target of 80% of students attending school 90% of the time.

Enjoy a well deserved break and we look forward to seeing EVERYONE back on Monday 20 April.

With the end of another school week - here is our attendance data for week 9. We have seen a little drop in attendance this week, especially as the weather deteriorated. With the winter terms approaching, please remember that every day at school counts - wet weather is not a reason for keeping children at home.

Four more school days before the holidays, remember learning happens right until the end of term.

See you all on Monday.
