Principal's Report
Buninyong Primary School
Kinder Visits - Welcome to Buninyong Kinder Kids!
This week we welcomed our kinder kids who are taking part in structured visits to support their transition into school life for next year. It was great to see how well-mannered the kids were and how well they quickly adapted to the school setting. We look forward to getting to know their little personalities even more over the next term as we hold our pre-schooler program.
Key dates for this program are:
- Session 1 - October 9 & 11
- Session 2 - October 16 & 18
- Session 3 - October 23 & 25
- Session 4 - October 30 & November 1
The program is run on Wednesdays and Fridays and we ask that participants come along for one day each week (not both). Sessions 1 & 2 will run between 10 am - 11 am, whilst sessions 3 & 4 will run from 9:30 am - 11 am.
More information will come regarding this at a later date.
In addition to these sessions, families who have a new prep student coming to school in 2020 who has been identified as having additional needs (e.g. Speech therapy, paediatric investigation, Autism, significant medical conditions, etc), are encouraged to make time to talk to Scott McGlynn to discuss.
Scott will be able to help those families in understanding the Department of Education’s support framework and provide information on how our school and support the transition into Prep and also any additional resourcing that we may have access to. To arrange a meeting with Scott, please call the office to book a time.
Leadership for the Period September 2-10
Dave Young and Bernie Conlan are joining the trip to Japan for the next 2 weeks. Over this period, Aaron Coulter and Daniel Spalding will be joining Scott McGlynn in the office. If you’d like assistance with anything that would normally be directed to Dave or myself, please contact the ladies in the office and they’ll put you in touch with the most relevant person.
