Mr. Carlyle's Message

Hello families and officially welcome back to the 2023 school year. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and summer period. A particular welcome to our new families be it in Foundation or who’ve joined us across the school.  We have started this year with 10 classes and 234 students, representing 159 families. 

The purpose of this newsletter is to provide some key dates and back to school information to help families ‘orient’ themselves with the school year. Our school newsletter is the official method by which school communicates to parents. We try to include all relevant dates of events and happenings around the school. Please make a point of reading the digital newsletter fortnightly.  The latest newsletter and past editions can be viewed on our website and click on the 'Newsletter' tab. If you use Facebook or Instagram and don’t follow our social pages I'd encourage you to do so as it provides a great lens into what happens in class on a daily basis. 

All students returned back on Monday, January 30th and participated in our relationships and routines programs this week. This is time has been dedicated to teaching expectations and routines that will operate in classes and specialists that ensure calm, orderly and rigorous learning takes place in class each and every day. Teachers also commenced literacy and numeracy assessments to begin our planning for teaching and learning experiences they are taking into account the needs of the students. 

As we welcome everyone back to the school year, I want to reiterate that we are here for you all as a community. If you have any questions, concerns as the year gets underway do not hesitate to reach out for support from myself or other school staff. We want to support every one of our students and their families to have a successful 2023 school year. 

Please take the time to read the information provided regarding back to school procedures, and I look forward to seeing everyone in the coming weeks. 

Bye for now!
