Highlight

Selamat siang, 

 

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024 in the Independence Centre! We have had a wonderful week settling into our new classroom spaces, catching up with old friends and beginning to make new connections! Some highlights this week were choosing good fit books, 3/4 sport, collecting our new supplies (especially our beautiful new diaries) and of course, buddy bonding.

 

Hopefully you have had a chance to have a look through your child’s 2024 diary with them. We will be utilising these at school to record independent reading and as a tool during Wellbeing sessions. We encourage students to use the weekly spread pages to record home reading or important information as they see fit. Please ensure your child’s diary returns to school each day - their school bag is kind of like a diary home!

 

Have a wonderful week, 

Ros, Jess, Sam, Katrina and Brooke
