Middle Sub School News
Some of our Middle Sub School students are taking part in a Metro Trains incursion and excursion to build their understanding of public transport. The incursion introduces the knowledge needed to plan a journey, including exploring transport maps, identifying routes and understanding how to read timetables. Students will then have the opportunity to put this learning into practice during an excursion using public transport.
These experiences build on our travel training program, helping students connect classroom learning with everyday situations. Travel training is an important part of developing independence, confidence and the skills needed to participate in the community. We look forward to supporting our students as they take these valuable steps in their learning.
We also remind families that Student Support Group (SSG) meetings will run from 9 November to 26 November. These meetings are an important opportunity to celebrate your child’s achievements, discuss their progress, review learning goals and plan the next steps together. Your knowledge of your child and your priorities are a valued part of these conversations.
Bookings can be made online. Video and phone attendance options are available to help families participate. Please contact your child’s class teacher to discuss suitable times and attendance options.
A friendly SunSmart reminder: Please send your child to school with a labelled broad-brimmed hat and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen before school. We do apply sunscreen at school too. Sun protection is needed whenever UV levels reach 3 or above, even on cool or cloudy days. Thank you for supporting sun-safe outdoor learning and play!
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s learning.

ROOM 17
We have had another busy and enjoyable week in Room 17. As well as preparing for Halloween we have been busy making vegetarian sausage rolls in the kitchen and creating some fantastic paintings during art. In art, students have been looking at Australian landmarks and have made paintings of Australian icons such as Uluru and the Sydney Opera House. Halloween is here and the students and staff have come to school in an amazing array of costumes.
