Aspire . Believe . Challenge

It is hard to believe we are approaching mid term 2.

This terms has already been full of exciting activities for the stu-

dents and we look forward to much more. This is always a busy

term with sport and academic expectations.

This term we continue on our journey to develop consistency of

practice . Students are responding well to our highly structured

learning environments and are able to explain their learning to

everyone that enters their room. Feel free to come and visit our

classrooms and share your child’s learning.

Library lessons are a big hit with students complaining that this is

not a weekly event. Mrs Staines is working hard to modernise

our learning space. Thank you.

I would like to thank the parents who continue to volunteer their

time. The students love seeing you in the school. We are loving

our gardens and additional hands in the school.

Do it for Dolly Day has organised by the P&C and supported by

the school has been a wonderful initiative. We thank you.

NAPLAN has been completed, we only had a couple of students

stressed about it this year. Well done everyone for keeping this

low key. This is the first time in a very long time that Monto

State School has actively encouraged every student to partici-

pate. Last time we only had approximately 73%. Well done fam-

ilies. We thank you.

Please keep the recycling coming every item helps reduce camp

costs.

We continue to support the various learning journeys of our fami-

lies and continue to be proud to have two TAFE students volun-

teering their time at our beautiful school. Helping our community

grow is important to us. We are hoping to have a student teach-

er next term.

We are always looking for volunteers at the school so if you have

a few spare moments please come and give us a hand. Your chil-

dren would love to see you at school.
