Acting Assistant Principal Report

Call for Volunteers

Our breakfast Club program is seeking a volunteer to assist with the set-up, cooking of toast and clean-up. We would really appreciate someone who may be able to commit to Monday mornings, however, assistance on our other mornings would also be welcome (that’s Tuesday, Thursday and Friday).

Set-up begins at 8am, with students coming in at 8.30am until 8.45am, then it’s clean-up until 9am. If you would like to bring your child/ren along with you, that’s ok, as long as they are students at our school and remain with you in the breakfast club room until 8.45am.

If you have some time available, and are interested, please see Ms Scott as soon as possible for further information.

2024 Term 2 Challenge of the Week

This term the Challenge of the Week will be shared by Mrs Rogers.  We are starting the term of with a game of ‘Boggle.’  You use the letters in the boggle grid to make words and gain points.  How many points do you think that you will be able to score? 

Here are the rules for Boggle:

• The letters in the words must be connected in the same order in the grid.
• The letters can be connected by an edge or a corner.
• The word doesn't have to appear in a straight line. It can be tangled around.
• Each letter in the word must uniquely appear in the grid. For example, if the word is ERASE, the letter E must appear twice in the grid. The word can't just loop back and re-use the same E.
• Words must be at least 3 letters long

• Here's an example of finding the word CAR.

Once you have found as many words as you can, bring your word list to the ‘Challenge’ box in the corridor by 11am on Wednesday the 24th of April. 

Make sure you have your name and grade written on your paper.  

Each student will receive a PAC card for taking up the challenge.

Hard copies are available at the office. 

Kind regards,

Sharon Rogers

Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

Welcome back to Term 2. It will be a long term (11 weeks), full of new learning, reporting and assessments and exciting excursions, incursions, and Year 5 Camp.

This term, teachers will be continuing to develop their professional knowledge with the new Mathematics and Literacy Curriculums ready for implementation in 2025. This will contribute to improved student outcomes for our students at DPW.

Please ensure that your child/ren are coming home and revisiting/talking about their learning with you. It’s important to remember that a school day is full of enriched learning experiences, both academic and social. Through informal conversations and ensuring your child’s homework is completed, our school and home partnership continues to strengthen. 

Many thanks,

Spira Antonopoulos

Acting Assistant Principal
