HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This week to Ben &

Mr Cameron

Have a great day.

Leave I will be taking leave for this week and the next

to care for my son.

During this time, please contact your class

teacher should an issue arise.

I will be checking emails each day but will not

be checking regularly.

I will be in touch with Sandra who will pass on

any concerns to me. Sorry if this causes any

inconvenience.

Thank you, Genevieve

Book Review

The Magic Beach

by Alison Lester

I like this book because people are swimming in the

sparkling water at the beach. There are lots of

rhyming words.

(K/1)

Reports and Interviews

Your child will receive a mid-year report on Friday

28th June. This report will detail your child’s

progress so far this year and will provide some

information about future directions.

Interviews with your child’s teacher will be held

during Week 10.

K/1 class: We are hoping to have these interviews

on Monday 1st July.

Year 1/2; 3/4 and 5/6 teachers are hoping to con-

duct their interviews on Wednesday 3rd July.

Parents are asked to nominate their three

preferences for interviews and we will do our

best to accommodate these requests (on a first-

in, first served basis). If these days do not suit,

parents are welcome to contact their class teach-

er to arrange an alternative day/time.

The form is on the back page of this newsletter.

Your child has also been given a paper copy of

this form as well.

Thank you

P & C N e w s

Next meeting 13th June @6pm!

P&C is continuing to develop plans for our school’s nature-based playground.

Over the last 2 weeks, P&C members have met with landscape designers to

discuss the creation of a whole school plan, which we can then complete in

stages. We have beautiful outdoor spaces with so much potential! If you would

like to be involved in this, please come along to the meeting on June 13th.

Kitchen Garden, Wednesday 3 - 3.45pm. All welcome. For students who are

staying after school, parents please call or txt Lyndell on 0419040256 by Tuesday

afternoon to confirm attendance. Thank you.
