Author Study

This week, students will be participating in another Author Study. Aaron Blabey will be our Author in focus. We aim to promote a school-wide positive reading culture for students to feel enthusiastic and engaged in reading and responding to text. The purpose of an Author Study is to build passion and knowledge for literature. Throughout the week, students will be provided with the opportunity to delve deeply into the author’s life and many of their books. Students are given the opportunity to critically evaluate the author's themes, character and writing style as well as making connections to their own life experiences. We look forward to sharing with you next week all the fun and exciting learning that took place during the week. 

Swimming

The swimming program will take place for all students in P-6 throughout this term. The dates are set out below. Further details were sent out via Compass at the end of last term, so please provide consent as soon as it is convenient. There is no cost to families this year for the swimming program.

Some classes will be seeking parent volunteers to assist with change room supervision. Please contact your child’s classroom teacher if this is something you can assist with. Please note, all volunteers must have a current Working With Children Check that is on file with the school office.
