Welcome Smithson families,

We are so glad you are here! Whether your child is returning to Smithson or your family is new to the area, we look forward to partnering with you to support the growth and achievement of your child.

Smithson is a very special school. Classrooms are filled with children who are each unique in their own way, who are empowered to be themselves, and who are encouraged to celebrate and share their skills and interests with those around them. Every student deserves to feel safe and experience a sense of belonging while at Smithson. We are committed to building positive relationships, strengthening our sense of community and ensuring an equitable and inclusive learning spaces for each and every child.

At Smithson, we believe in the value of teamwork and take great pride in our school community. Whether you are a new or returning Lion, the partnership that we foster with you is paramount to your child’s achievement and well-being. We look forward to working with you in order to support your child as an active participant in their learning journey. 

You will notice many events and opportunities are afforded to our students by both staff and our amazing School Council. We want you to have a voice in your child’s learning and we welcome your involvement. If you are already involved, please stay active in supporting the school community. Volunteering in our classrooms, helping out at special events, joining School Council, supporting our fundraisers, becoming a lunchroom supervisor, or reading with children through our Strong Start program are just a few of the ways that you can get involved.

The next time we cross paths, please stop and say hello. I’d love to connect with you. Remember…we share a common goal. I’m looking forward to a great year together.

Kind Regards,

Keri Reay, Principal
