Events and Reminders
Hats Reminder- Just a friendly reminder that students MUST wear hats until April and after September. Please check with your child that they have a school hat and are bringing it to school daily. If they don't have a hat, they will have to play under the shade sails.
Drink Bottles - Please remind your child to bring a drink bottle to school daily so that they have easy access during class learning time.
Ongoing Reporting
In Week 4 students have completed a Maths Learning Task that will be available to view on compass. These are important updates for you to see how your child is going with their learning, and to see the progress they are making with the learning concepts we are covering.
