Dear Parents, Friends and Students,
We hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break and the glorious Autumn weather. This week continues to be
stunning and provides a wonderful opportunity for bike, scooter and fort making activities outside.
As we commence Term 2 and the transition back to school we want to say thank you to all those parents
& grandparents that worked with their childrens home learning and connecting to ZOOM. Also those
parents who supported their children attending school and the COVID-19 guidelines. It has certainly been a
new experience for our whole school community and staff but I believe we have all done an incredible job!
Last Wednesday was so exciting welcoming our students back to school and hearing their voices and
incredible laughter, such a fantastic start to the term.
This week we have seen an increase in students attending school whilst some families have elected to
continue full time remote learning. Monday,11th of May is the start of Week 3 and is when all students
must attend school one day a week. As a staff we have decided on Mondays for one day attendance for
all students learning from home. We are so looking forward to seeing all our students and catching up with
them. If you have any questions or concerns please ring to discuss with Mrs Mac.
6th May 2020 Term 2 Issue 1
4 C’s
Students participated in the 4C’s today with our gardening group taking advantage of the beautiful weather
to plant seedlings! Mr William and Kerry commemced our Robotics Program with several extremely
enthusiastic particpants and Chantelle challenged our students with a delicious Japanese chicken recipe.
Art with Deina, Miss Em and Miss Cornish looked incredible as students complete their recycled projects.
Individual Programs
All students on Individual Reading and Spelling Programs are asked to be at school at 8:30am if at all
possible, to start their program.
Drop off and Pick up
We now have designated “kiss & drop” parking zones along the front of the school, at the beginning of
the day students can be dropped at the school gate and walked through the gate by a teacher on duty.
This will minimise social gatherings of adults at the front of the school. In the afternoon students will be
directed to parents and walked across the street if needed.
Communication with the office is preferred via phone, if you need to speak to a teacher please send a
message over Class Dojo.
Please do not come into the school grounds or congregate near the front gate.
Wednesday Hot Dog Day- Starting week 2
For the duration of Term 3 we will be having “Hot Food Wednesday” students will be able to purchase a hot
lunch for $2.00.
Please fill out the form on school stream if you would like to purchase one for your child and send the
money in with your child every Monday or you can pay $18 up front to cover the whole term. As food is
purchased in Orange or made the previous day it is essential we have accurate orders.
Friday Hot Lunches
Every Friday students can bring lunches from home that can be heated in our pie warmer.Please
remember when packing a hot lunch it will need to be wrapped in foil with a name on top.
If you send in a thermos please make sure the food is heated prior to sending it in as we will only be
heating food in the pie warmer not the microwave. Don’t forget to send in cutlery if required.
School Stream
It is extremely important to read and return all notes on School Stream to ensure everyone knows what is
happening at our school.If your child is unwell and is not able to attend school please advise through
School Stream.
Infants Classroom
This term, students are rexploring a range of texts with the central theme of being creative and using their
imagination. So far students have been producing some fantastic pictures and writing by using their wide
range of imagination. Stay tuned on Class Dojo for some wonderful pictures.

Homework- Infants
Infants homework is changed every Friday. This consists of changing reading books, marking student’s
reading logs, giving out reading awards when reached their next target and checking Maths Online tasks. It
is important that you try to remember to bring it in on Friday as time is set assist every Friday to ensure that
student’s reading goals and levelled books reflect their learning that week. Thank you in advance.
