Weekly update

School Photos

We had some interesting looks this morning as families arrived at school wondering why all the staff were looking so relaxed in their Hawaiian clothing.  This was our theme for our 2020 photo.  Our school captains have been working hard all day ensuring the schedule was maintained and it was wonderful seeing extra smiling faces today and the Year 6’s looked great in their new jackets. It was great fun watching our whole school assemble together for one big photo!!

I’m sure everyone will be keen to see the final product.

Communication

This is vital, between home and school, as the term gets underway there will be more and more events and activities to be aware of.  Luckily, we have a one stop shop to help us out, this being Compass.  Staff will provide enough time for events being posted to ensure families can provide consent and payment prior.  Staff will send out a reminder but won’t be chasing families at the last minute. If there is no consent/payment provided then students will miss out and be placed with another class for the day.  To avoid this please regularly check your news feed.  We already have events ready to go so get checking!!  Good luck to our swimmers competing in the EDEC competition next Monday

Information nights

These are taking place next week, again check Compass for details.  This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet your child’s teacher and other parents from the class too as well as finding out all about the year ahead.  This is not an evening for students; however, if you are stuck and need child minding please let me know.

Assembly

Tomorrow we will have presentations from 3/4B and 1/2L.  A schedule for when each class is due to present has been sent out this week.  Thanks to Daniel and Lilly and their students for being brave and starting us off for the year.  Congratulations too to our Year 6 student leaders who introduced themselves and their mottos last week.  We wish them well in their leadership endeavours.

Parking

Please ensure that you are adhering to the posted signs when parking near the school.  It has been noticed that cars are parked in both disabled (without a pass) and in no standing zones.  Please do the right thing as I’m sure the council won’t hesitate to issue any fines.

Thanks

I’d like to thank the community for taking the time to come and say hello to me over the first couple of weeks and sharing the positive things about the school, the staff and the wider community.  It is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Have a great week,

Dale McInerney
