PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Well our last few weeks have really seen the students settle into learning. All classes have now
established routines and seem to be engaged in their tasks. This week we commenced our support groups for Reading and also our Kitchen/Garden program.
Many thanks to all our school community that supported our Swimming Carnival. It was a great success
with many students really showing the dispositions of persistence and the confidence to ‘have-a-go’ at many events.
Last week the very warm afternoon for our Meet the Teacher night saw some sessions poorly attended.
I hope all parents received the handout from the teachers. Remember the teachers are happy to meet with parents, but please make contact and set up an appointment time.
Please ensure you read important messages below if you have a Year 5 or 6 student. It is time to start planning for the future for Year 5/6.
