Miss Marks' Message
Hello everyone,
It is difficult to believe we have less than four weeks remaining for the school year, and preparations are certainly underway for 2025. In the past two weeks we have had our 2025 Foundation students visit for two transition sessions, had a visit from Tom Curtain, Zooper Dooper sales and the construction works have continued for the new septic. We have many celebrations to look forward to before the end of the school year!
Orientation Morning
On Tuesday December 10, students will spend the morning in their 2025 class groups. Extensive work goes into creating a structure for learning, staffing profile and subsequent class groups for a school year. Students will have the opportunity to work with their new peers, and we welcome back our 2025 Foundation students for this session too.
Teesdale Twilight Market
The Teesdale Twilight Market is scheduled for Thursday December 12, at Turtle Bend. Our students will be on stage from 4:20pm.
I have placed a copy of our Teesdale Wonderland lyrics for families interested in rehearsing this at home ahead of our performances at the Teesdale Twilight Market.
Students created this version of Winter Wonderland in 2022 and have begun practicing this along with a few other songs in their Performing Arts discoveries.
Parent Payments
Last week we shared information about the 2025 Parent Payment Policy and Book Packs via Sentral with all families. This included the book pack lists for each year level in 2025 and our Parent Payment Policy. If you do not wish a book pack to be ordered for your child please advise the office as soon as possible. The window for payments commences on the 1st of January. We are extremely grateful and value each contribution we get from our families as it does support not only the provision of classroom equipment for students on book lists but allows us to allocate funds to other areas too. Please review the book pack lists and pop a reminder in your phone for a January payment!
Reminders
A reminder that this Friday, November 29 is a scheduled Curriculum Day and therefore a student free day.
Enjoy your week,
Chelsey
