Handball Monitors
Our SRC and Year 6 students continue to be handball monitors this term. It was a really successful initiative last term and many of our Year 6 students see the importance of playing fairly and speaking kindly to each other, so they willingly give up their own time at Snack Break to oversee handball games. The SRC has created and developed a set of rules for the students to follow and have been around to classrooms to explain them. We are hoping this will continue to reduce the disagreements during games and encourage students to play in a positive spirit.
Uniform
Students are expected to be in full school uniform whenever they attend school. If for any reason your child is out of uniform, please send in a note.
Family Conferences
Kindergarten to Year 6 teachers will be holding Family Conferences in Week 4 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 and stick to these limits. 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 must be returned by Tuesday 4 August.
Kids Lit Quiz
Students in Stage 3 were participating in the Kids Lit Quiz today via Zoom. We had 3 teams registered to take part. The competition took place via the Zoom Room for their Virtual Heats. below. There were 8 categories including a 'Joker' Round. Thanks to Mr Baz for preparing our students for this annual event.
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.
