Deputy Principal 

Welcome back to Term Two.

 

Science and Design and Technologies Learning this term

I hope that everyone has enjoyed a family filled Easter, unlike last year! We are looking forward to a wonderful term exploring the concept 'function'. Many students are looking at different scientific concepts such as push and pull and how these forces (physical science) effect our world. Later this term they will be using their new scientific knowledge to design, test and evaluate objects according to their function. Many classes have been sending home notes about gathering resources for this inquiry. If you are able to help please contact your class teacher.

 

Managing Screen Time

An interesting resource came through recently. A podcast on helping parents manage screen time with their children. The page has many different resources to support parents. 

 

Below is a flyer on A Healthy Brain Diet

 

The podcast can be found at:

Uniform

Please remember that the children have the first two weeks to transition to winter uniform (but going by this week they probably need them now, it's freezing!). As part of our sunsmart policy all children need to be wearing their school hats when outside till the end of April in line with advice from the Sunsmart Foundation.

 

Building Resilience

Another website with great supportive resources for developing resilient young people is the Andrew Fuller website. Attached below is his article on Building Resilience.
