A Message from the Principal
Celebrating our reading and writing growth
I love seeing the progress our students are making. It is great to see the rich literacy experiences they are engaging in, and the growing confidence we can see in their reading and writing every day. Well done everyone, keep up the great work. When our parents return to connecting with our classrooms and supporting teachers with changing over take home readers, you may notice our K-3 classes have new book organisers to ensure our books are well looked after.
Our P and C needs you!
Our P and C will be meeting on Monday 29 June at 6pm in the main staffroom. Our wonderful team is a small group of people doing great work however they could really do with some additional hands on deck to support them in their fundraising ventures this year. Volunteering in our school doesn't have to be a one way street, there are many benefits to those who are able to get involved.
Managing student absences
In recent weeks we have been working to ensure our rolls accurately reflect student attendance. After the unusual events this year our records don't look as they might usually for some students. Parents and carers can help us to ensure our records are up to date by providing an explanation for your child's absences to their teacher, the absence link on SZ app or a reply text to the absence text message. If we don't receive these explanations we are required by law to follow up with families via attendance advice letters.
We continue to encourage you to keep your child home when they are unwell to ensure we manage illness across our school during the winter months. A follow up note or email will help us to accurately document the reason for the absence. Being present every day is such a huge part of student achievement and we want all of our students to have every opportunity to be successful in their learning. If you are needing support of any kind please get in touch with us.
Next week families will receive modified school reports. There will be no A to E grade section. If you would like to discuss the report with your child's teacher please get in touch with them.
Enjoy the mid year break!
