School News & Events

Swimming Carnival:

Years 2–6 Swimming Carnival will be held again at Wentworthville Pool this Wednesday 11 February.

If you have not returned your permission slip, please return these to your class teacher on Monday 9 February.

For those students who are looking to swim at a more competitive level; they have a few days to train. It might be a good idea to get your child comfortable swimming 25m, or 50m, if that is a goal of theirs.

If your child is not going to be swimming competitively there are novelty events for them to participate in as well as a waterplay option for those students not getting in the pool at all. 

Parents Prayer Group 

All parents are warmly invited to join our Parents Prayer Group. 

Last year, this was a very encouraging time as we gathered together to pray for our children, families, and the school community. Whether you’ve joined us before or this would be your first time, everyone is welcome. There’s no pressure, just a simple and supportive space to spend time together in prayer.

Thanks so much,

Josh and Mel

Parents Prayer Group dates for Term 1

• 27 February
• 27 March

Bus List: 

Please note that for the remainder of Term 1, there are NO spaces left on any buses. There will be more places for Term 2. 

Homework:

A reminder for families regarding homework as homework begins for Term 1 and will be taken home each week:

• All children will be given homework and encouraged to complete it

• No child will get a consequence for not completing it.  

   

Whilst homework does help to consolidate learning and we do encourage it. If completing homework at home becomes a significant source of stress or conflict, we respect your decision to step back from it. I understand different families have differing perspectives on homework. We do encourage students to develop good habits and responsibility, but we also recognise that family wellbeing is important and many families are doing co-curriculars, having family time and value other things at home. 

Sports Uniform Reminder:

Please note that as of Week 2 our updated sport days are:

• Tuesday: 3-6 Sport

• Wednesday: K-2 Sport (no change)

   

Thank you for ensuring students are in their sports uniform on these days.

Musical: 

A reminder that musical rehearsals are occurring on Monday afternoons. Please see the previous schedule to see if your child is required on a particular day.

Netball Opportunity: 

For those interested, please see an attached flyer from the local netball club.
