Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Starting next Wednesday, 27th October, we will be holding a Parent of the Week morning tea. Parents of students who receive a Merit Award the previous Friday will be invited to attend a morning tea with their child and the staff on the Library verandah. This is a great opportunity to see your child’s classroom, meet the staff and other parents. It will be held from 10:15am-10:45am. I look forward to meeting our first group of Parents of the Week next Wednesday.
From this Monday, 25th October, we will be trialing a new format for recess and lunchtime. Instead of the children eating first and then playing it will be reversed to play first and then eat. The reasons behind the change are our concern that children aren’t eating their food and rushing off to play, the present location is not adequate and to eliminate the unacceptable amount of rubbish left after each break. The children will be supervised in suitable areas near their classrooms.
I would like to congratulate Aariz Mazumder for receiving a national Digital Technologies award in the recent ICAS Assessments. Well Done Aariz!
