Family Conferences

Kindergarten to Year 6 teachers will be holding Family Conferences next week from Monday, August 10 to Thursday, August 13 from 3:30-5:45pm each day. These conferences offer all families the opportunity to speak to teachers about their child’s progress and report goals they received last semester. It is asked that students also come along with families and talk about their goals and achievements. All meetings are being held in your child’s classroom and are 10 minutes in duration. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are on a very tight schedule and we ask that you are on time, stick to these limits and wait outside the classroom until the previous person leaves. If you would prefer a phone interview due to Covid-19 with your child’s teacher, please let the teacher know. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school. All notes were due back by today.

K-6 Paper Aeroplane Competition

For Australian and International school students, there is an online 2020 Young Scientist paper plane competition. As a challenge to all our students, we are encouraging K-6 to have a go at making their best plane ever! A video of their throw must be uploaded with your entry by midnight Friday 28 August 2020. This is an optional activity for a bit of fun, however, if students don't make qualifying flying time or distance they could still be in the running for the best plane in their class. We will then have a fly off of the 2 best ones from each class at school on Friday 28 August. To qualify your child will need to throw over a specific time or distance. Paper planes must be made in front of a supervising adult witness using regular A4 or Quarto paper (80GSM or 90GSM). Paper planes are to be made by the student competitor. Only folding is allowed, no cutting, gluing or taping. Only one piece of paper per plane may be used. Please refer to the website for further information.
