Learning Focus

This term, our students will explore many learning concepts and themes, as detailed in the Term 4 Curriculum Overviews, which were published on Compass last Friday as a News Feed. All classes will be engaging in a Unit of Inquiry focussed on Creativity. We encourage families to engage in discussions at home about what the students are learning to reinforce their understanding and enthusiasm.

 

Community Involvement

We value our school community and invite parents and caregivers to participate in upcoming activities. Whether it is volunteering for events or providing assistance in classrooms, your support is invaluable. 

 

Our next working bee is Sunday, October 27 from 10 am to 2 pm. Working bees are a fun opportunity to create and maintain our school gardens and outdoor learning and play spaces. They are a fantastic chance to meet and socialise with other members of the school community. A barbeque lunch is provided by the P&F to feed the hungry workers. Children are welcome on the understanding that you take full responsibility for their supervision and wellbeing.

 

Uniform: Please ensure your child wears the correct school uniform and has a school hat for all outside activities in Term 4.

 

Health and Safety: As always, we prioritize the health and safety of our students. Please keep your child at home if they are unwell.

 

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to an enjoyable and productive term ahead!
