PREP

FROM THE CLASSROOM

This week in Prep, we had some special guest speakers presenting to us during Investigations! Our Principal, Ms Corcoran, and Assistant Principals, Mrs Destratis and Miss Rap, and Prep Learning Specialist, Miss Wall, spoke to us about the history of our school and shared their favourite places at Ramlegh Park. 

“I liked learning about the Friendship Bench. I have seen that bench near the sandpit! I also liked the picture of the Sensory Room that Mrs Destratis showed us because turtles are my favourite ocean animal” 

– Medina, Prep G

“I liked hearing about their special places at school” 

– Sofie, Prep G

“I liked seeing the pictures that Ms Corcoran had of the people building our school” 

– Misha, Prep G

To all the Mums, Grandmas, Carers, aunties and special people in our students’ lives, we wish you a very happy Mother’s Day! We hope your day is filled with love, hugs and special moments with your little ones!

REMINDERS  

Reader Bags & Home Reading Journals

A reminder to make sure your child is bringing their reader bag to school each day. Inside should be a small reader book, take home journal, and M100 Word pouch. Students will be able to take a new reader book each day if the previous one has been returned. They also need to have their book bag to be able to borrow books from the Library.

Digital Technology Forms

We have started using our iPads this term. If you have not yet completed and returned your child’s permission form to school, please do so as soon as possible. Children will not be allowed to use the iPads until this is done.

Compass Permissions

Please ensure to follow the permission prompts on Compass. This includes walking permission, and permission to have your child’s photo taken and published in the newsletter or on social media. If you need assistance with this, please contact your child’s teacher.
