present and future. Newsletter Term 1 Week 6

Welcome to Weeks 6 & 7

Well we are half way through the term and the students and staff have been busy with

many activities. Some of our students were visited by (Joffa) Jeff Taylor from Toon School

Workshops. Jeff is a cartoonist and speaker who visits schools across Australia, helping to

motivate students on how to feel good about themselves .

On Monday, 10 of our student leaders participated in the GRIP Leadership Conference

held at the Goulburn Workers Club. All students thoroughly enjoyed their day, and

participated in practical and interactive Leadership Training

Athletics Field Events

Students will begin their field events this week in preparation for the Athletics Carnival

which is due to be held on Friday 5th April at Hudson Park. It is advisable that students

wear the appropriate clothing to participate in their events such as long jump, high

jump. We recommend that our female students wear shorts and not dresses. A

permission note will be sent home over the next couple of weeks providing more

information about the Athletics Carnival.

Newsletter will now be sent home with students on Thursdays

News from 2/3M

Congratulations to 2/3M for winning class of the week. The students were able to

celebrate with a uniform free day and a picnic lunch. We have also been doing some

great things for science and learning about things in our environment.

News from K/1R We have been very busy settling back into the new school year and learning lots of new things. Each day

we are working on our phonics, reading, writing, numeracy and more! We have read lots of books - so far

our favourites are ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We made our own very hungry

caterpillar and ordered the days of the week along his body. Keeping safe as a pedestrian, passenger

and on wheels has been exciting and fun as we explore Safety Town.
