A note from Mr Lloyd Lazaro - School Council President

 Dear Parents and Friends of Rangeview, This year can only be described as exceptional for a myriad of reasons - a litany of achievements and challenges.  Some of those have been physical structures, yet while others are examples of excellence in endeavour, an all conquering human spirit, and that which defines the true identity of Rangeview.  In 2011, Rangeview commissioned it largest capital project in the history of the school by opening the new multi-purpose facility; our students continue to set new benchmarks in academic excellence mapped against NAPLAN; upgrades to the ICT facility and art room; investments in integrated technology in the form of Interactive Whiteboards, Intranet and iPads; a highly profitable OSCH program; a record breaking fundraising year and; refurbishment of the Administration and Reception area.

 I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your contribution that has collectively contributed to a tremendously successful year which has allowed us to reinvest back into many of the activities listed above, and for continuing to be the heart-beat of Rangeview Primary.  I would also like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the staffing group to the holistic learning of our children under the leadership of Mrs Liz Barr - who completes her first year at Rangeview - thank you.  I would also like to highlight the hard work and tireless contribution of each of the School Council Members and for their diligent governance of the school - your efforts do not go unnoticed.

 With plans already underway and many in place for 2012, I am excited by what we will continue to achieve together, and in doing so, set new benchmarks in best practice education programs.

 On behalf of my family I would like to extend to your family a very happy Christmas and may you all have a peaceful, safe and enjoyable holiday season and I look forward to reconnecting with you in the New Year.

 Best wishes, Lloyd
