Compass Music Festival

What a joy it was to watch our choir perform at the Compass Music Festival last week. Our Boambee students sung beautifully and were also standouts when it came to good behaviour!

Strategic Planning

As we work hard implementing our new school vision, focused on the joy of learning and extra curricular opportunities, I wanted to let you all know that we will be giving our students a voice in this process. Students in Years 3-6 will complete a survey to let us know about the opportunities that they have and what they are participating in at school.

Each week our timetable is full of opportunities, here is an example of what is happening this week at Boambee Public for our students.

Home Learning

You may have noticed a push at the moment for home learning. Mathematics login codes came home last week and we are promoting home reading through our (Positive Behaviour for Learning ) PBL focus at school.

A great bedtime activity to do with your children is reading, or Mathletics on a tablet earlier in the evening if you choose this option. If you have older children and they are reading or learning more independently, make sure you are checking in with them and discussing what they are reading or learning about. If you are having trouble with too much screen time we encourage you to make a deal with your children - 20 minutes of reading or Mathletics before being able to have their free play time is a fair deal.

School Arrival Times

Please note that supervision for children begins at 8:25 unless you are doing strength and conditioning which starts at 8:15. Any arrival before this time without parent supervision is too early, and your children are unsupervised in that circumstance.

Afternoon Pick Up

Sincere thanks to those families who have pushed back their drive through pick up times to a little later in the day, it has eased the pressure in the pick up zone.

Thank you also to the parents who have followed the request to wait at the tree instead of going up to the top COLA, this has increased our ability to supervise your children and safely manage a very busy departure routine at the end of the school day.
