Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences

Many thanks to everyone who made the time to attend the conferences last Wednesday or have made an alternative time to discuss their child/ren’s learning. It is important that the children get to share what they are doing with you. 

Open Numeracy Classes

Next Wednesday, September 6th Parents, Grandparents and family friends of our F-6 students are invited into our classrooms between 9.15am and 10.55am to see the structure of numeracy lessons in 2023. We are hoping the special visitors will share their experience of when they were at Primary School.

Students looked through a “Window on the World” in our session today. They made and decorated their own window, and whilst in the vegetable garden they placed the window in numerous places to zoom in on what they could see. They found insects, worms, eaten leaves, dry straw, a bone and sticks, old vegetable remnants and a whole lot more.
