As a school we are always looking at improving the systems we have in place.  Following some feedback from parents and teachers alike we are currently implementing an online system called Operoo, whereby all permission notes will be sent out via email to parents and will be submitted back to us via the Operoo system.  This will eliminate the need for paper permission notes and medical information to be sent out.  It will also take out the need for the onus to be on the students to give you the note and for them to return it to the teacher.  Many staff have used this system at previous schools and have commented on the ease for both parents and teachers to use.  We are hoping we will have the system installed and up and running for the start of Term 3.  More information will come out to you later this term.

Continuing with the theme of improvements, the reports for this semester will also be paperless and will be sent to you via a "Parent Portal" using the reporting system we have been using Nforma.  Again we will certainly be saving our trees by not having to print up all of those pages of reports.  I have used the parent portal at previous schools and the system is easy to use and you will be able to access your child/children's reports and print them whenever you may require a hard copy.  Once again more information will come out later this term.

This term students in each year level are working on a variety of robots.  The students in Year 4 have been working with the Ozobots.  They are able to have these follow coded lines the students can draw or through coding them on the Ozobot app.
