Kick Bricks Building Sessions
We have purchased 2 sets of Kick Bricks which are foam, light weight blocks that will be rotated around the Prep and 1/2 classes to further support our junior students with some inclusive social play.
Digital Usage Community Norms
One of our goals this year within our whole school eSmart framework is to work with a school community team to create some recommended norms for student use of technology at home for our school community. One of the biggest challenges as parents is fighting the pressure with certain, games, apps, devices and amount of screen time in comparison to other school friends.This team will meet to discuss the challenges parents face at home with digital usage at home, where we will create a recommended guide for our community with regards to digital technology use.
This guide aims to empower parents with recommendations set within our school community to help in managing issues with technology at home.If you are interested in being part of this discussion and creating our recommendations please fill in this form with your name and contact email.
