Debating at Galilee

We are interested in introducing Debating to Galilee but we need your help.

We are looking for any parents who would be interested in training a group of Year 5 and Year 6 students in debating one lunchtime a week and helping take students to debating tournaments.

For more information please see the attached flyers. If you are interested and available to help bring debating to Galilee please let Simon Millar, Amy Burns or Danielle Gerecke know.

Open Morning Classroom

We have had great feedback so far on Monday morning Open Classrooms. This is an opportunity to be able to walk your child into their classroom, look at some work samples, engage with your child in their learning environment and catch up with the classroom teacher. If you have any feedback for us, please let us know!

Please see the PDF link on Communication Protocols. At Galilee we aim to foster an environment of inclusivity in which parent participation is encouraged. We are committed to ensuring the well-being and education of all our students. Communication between students, parents and staff is an important part of education at our school. Galilee Regional Catholic Primary School wants to ensure open, respectful and honest communication with parents.

Open Day

Next Wednesday, 15th March is Open Day. Starting from 9:00am, new families and Prep families have been invited for a school tour. Assembly will be at 9:15am instead of 2:40pm for next week only. After a short assembly, children will go back into classrooms while the tours are on. There will be a morning tea for all new families from 10:30am in the Hall.

If you are interested in attending Open Day, please register through: www.tinyurl.com/GalileeOpenDay2017

If you are able to help with setting up the morning tea at 9:45, please email us.

Parent Handbook

The 2017 Parent Handbook was sent via email on Wednesday. Please read through and keep a copy saved for easy reference. This has been updated this year so well worth a read - not just for new families.

Class Events

There are class catch ups, dinners and drinks occurring over the coming weeks. Thank you to the Class Reps for organising these events. They are a great opportunity for parents to get together and have some fun. If you would like to be on the emailing list for these events as well as other class news and correspondence from your Class Reps please contact them. We have included a list of 2017 Class Reps and thank them for all their efforts this year.
