From the Principal's Office

Welcome to the end of week 5.  It has been a busy week as we approach the end of the year. With so many events occurring between now and the end of year, please remember to stay in touch on our socials and contact the school if you have any questions.

Last week, some of our staff and students attended the 3/4 camp at Wedderburn.  The children were involved in a number of activities which challenged them physically and emotionally.  Some of the activities included rock climbing, giant swings and archery. Congratulations to the staff and students who attended.  I know they would have slept well when they got home.

Planning is moving ahead for our new preschool.  A meeting has been conducted onsite to scope possible locations.  The preschool will have two classrooms which can cater for 40 students.  It is anticipated that construction will begin towards the end of next year.

After nearly 2 years of waiting - one of our school buses has finally arrived.  The 12 seater will enable our students to be transported to various events around the local area without having to always hire expensive buses.  It is anticipated that the other bus should arrive early next year.

Over the coming weeks, teachers will be working on completing yearly reports. Reports will be sent home on 12th December.

It appears that our canteen will remain closed until the beginning of next year.  It is expected that the tender process will be finalised before the end of the year with the new contractor moving in over the Christmas break.

Are you moving next year?

If your child will not be returning in 2025 or will be starting late, please send an email to woodlandrd-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au as soon as possible so that we can make staffing plans for next year.

This information is vital in our planning process for classing 2025.

Have a great few weeks.
