A Word from Tanya

Dear Families,

 

My heartfelt thanks for all your contributions this term!

As families you have supported the children with their learning by listening to reading, maths tables, assisting in the classrooms, coming on excursions, transportation to events and so much more. So many of you have contributed to our wonderful fundraising initiatives, providing valuable resources for our children. Others have washed Plot to Pot laundry, sick bay linen, sports uniforms and so many have contributed to the Cool Cats room. We are very grateful!

Staff have worked hard to provide wonderful opportunities and always supported our students to be their best and give everything a go! What a wonderful team they are!

Best of all our Menzies kids have just shone- they are superstars!

 

Reporting

I hope you all enjoyed the reading of your child’s self assessment - they were just the best! I loved each and every one as they have such a great insight into their learning, what they have achieved and what they want to put their effort into next semester! I am so proud of them all!

 

I have been on Leave this week supporting Rob who has had surgery. I thank Justin and Christy, plus the team for all their effort, as I have been in and out.

 

Dance - August 24th

Hope everyone can make this. Tiahn had this band at her wedding and they are AMAZING! If you love to dance this is the band for you! Please make this a date as you will not regret it at all! Bring along friends, family- everyone will love them!

Get your tickets now!!
