From the 

Acting Assistant Principal

Greetings everyone, 

Well, I am into Week 3 now and have a better idea of the layout of the school so can find classes without getting lost! The staff have continued to be very supportive, and I have also had many students who now greet me when they see me, which is lovely. I have really enjoyed hearing the students articulate their learning. I listened to a lovely story in 6C on Tuesday and found the responses from the students insightful and thoughtful.

For my newsletter article this week, I have spoken to some students from 5A and 4B.

Antonio, Torin and Issah (5B).  Here is some of what they shared:

Antonio likes writing as it gives you a choice. Torin likes lots of sport and Issah said “everything, and Prep kids think we are cool”. They all rated Rowville Primary School as a 10/10! 

Next, I spoke to Nicholas and Eva from 4B: 

Eva when asked about what she likes about school – “When we learn and grow. Teachers are really nice here. Reading expands my thinking and writing helps me make plans and increases creativity.”

Nicholas said “I love how there is a kitchen. Teachers are very respectful and there are lots of respectful students. The school is big and bright”.  Asked what he would choose if he could have the one subject for a day he said “kitchen – I love to cook, it is a passion of mine”.

I really enjoyed the conversations and look forward to having more in preparation for the next newsletter.

FINALLY – HATS! HATS! HATS! – there are still a number of students in the school who have lost/forgotten/discarded their hats. Whilst hat wearing is not popular with everyone, it is a school expectation. We monitor it and remind the students constantly but there are still too many who don’t quite manage it – can you please chat to your child/ren about the importance of being SunSmart – thanks in anticipation.

Enjoy the rest of your week and the upcoming weekend. 

Kind regards,

Elaine Wilson
