Hello everyone,

Our 'Saltbush' excursion yesterday was wonderful. A massive congratulations to all our students for their excellent behaviour, it was a pleasure to be at the theatre with them. The show was excellent, I hope your children have told you what they enjoyed about the performance. Thank you to all of you for your prompt responses in giving permission via Sentral.

Mid-year reports.

We are slowly changing our reports to reflect changes that the Department of Education are introducing next year, and the reports also reflect that there are currently industrial bans in place on including comments in student reports. I have included an example below of what our reports will look like, remember that the curriculum areas included will reflect the curriculum for your child's year level and what has been taught.

The reports will be distributed on 5 June via Sentral. You will be able to book a time to meet with your child's teacher to discuss your child's progress before the end of the term.

Some reminders!

Update your contact details!

A reminder to please make sure we have your most up to date contact details including who to contact if we can't get in touch with you. That means if you have recently got a new phone and changed your number, you must let us know!

Accessing Sentral.

The Sentral app is our main form of communication with families. You can let us know why your child is away, complete permissions for excursions, access our weekly newsletter and you will receive your child's academic reports via Sentral. Please make sure you know how to log in to Sentral and that you use it regularly.

Mrs. Kim Kirkpatrick, our Learning Specialist and Maths intervention teacher, will be enjoying a well-earned long service leave break from 1 June for the rest of the term, have a wonderful time Mrs K!

And Lou Bray, our Business Manager, will also be enjoying some long service leave from 1- 12 June, have a wonderful time Lou!

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

warm regards,

Carolyn.
