Dear Families,

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support throughout last week. I think that together we did a great job in maintaining motivation, learning and connectedness to new class groupings and teachers.

Our Year 6s headed off to camp this morning to The Briars in Mt Martha for three days. I will be travelling down this afternoon with Miss Pascoe. Mrs Broderick will teach 1P on Tuesday. Mr Egan will be travelling down on Tuesday afternoon and Mrs Wall and Mrs Gleeson will share the teaching duties in 5E on Wednesday. There are a few other timetable changes to specialist lessons and class teachers will communicate any significant changes to you (This may involve wearing Sports Uniform on another day for some classes).

Looking forward to seeing you at the Parent and Friends’ Morning Tea, planned for next Monday. There will also be the second hand clothing stall.

Briefly:

You may have friends or neighbours who have been asking about our Open Days. We have 9:00 am and 10:00 am tours planned for
Thursday 4 March
Friday 12 March
Monday 22 March
Tuesday 4 May

...and an Open Evening on Tuesday 27 April ( 7:30-8:30pm) Please register for this one.
