A message from Early Stage 1

It was great to see so many of our Kindergarten families at the P & C Welcome Barbeque last Wednesday. The P & C are an amazing group and are always looking for new members to help support the school at various functions and fundraising events throughout the year.
 
Thank you to all the parents who were able to make the parent-teacher interviews.  For those families unable to attend, you should have now received a copy of your child’s Best Start Feedback which was sent home in your child’s school bag last week. 

 

Please remember that educating your child is a team effort and keeping in contact with your child’s teacher is important. The best way to contact your child’s teacher is by email. They will respond as soon as they can.
