Message from the Principal…

Dear Parents & Carers,

Meet the Teacher sessions will be held this week. I hope as many parents and carers as

possible will be able to attend these important and informative sessions. This year we will be

asking you for your ideas on what you would like to learn more about, so that you can support

your child’s learning at home. You may want to learn more about how we teach reading, writing

or mathematics. Or you may want to learn more about Visible Learning – learning intentions,

success criteria and learner dispositions. Come along with your ideas and we will then plan our

parent workshops for the year. The workshops held in 2019 were very well received and we

hope to be able to provide you with interesting and practical sessions again this year.

I would like to congratulate our zone swimming team. Not only did you perform to the best of

your ability in the pool, you also demonstrated amazing sportsmanship by cheering and

encouraging your team mates throughout the day. Several parents commented on the

tremendous sportsmanship of our

students. This year we have our largest

ever representation at the regional

swimming carnival on Tuesday 3 March.

A full report and photos will feature in

next week’s newsletter. Best of luck to

all our competitors.

The regional swimming carnival

unfortunately clashes with our school

photo day. We were lucky enough to

secure a new date for our photos.

Please see below for details.

Have a great week

Narelle Kessey

Principal

School Photos – Change of date Due to several new dates on our school calendar we were fortunate enough to change our photo day to ensure majority of staff and students will be present. School Photos will be held on Thursday 19th March. Envelopes were sent home last week with every student. Sibling envelopes are available at the office. Parents please return the envelope/s to school by Friday 13th March. Payment can be made on line or cash in the envelope.
