PRINCIPALS REPORT
Enrolments for 2020
We have been inundated with bookings for school tours at the moment with families keen to enrol as soon as possible. Consequently, we are currently taking enrolments for next year (yes, it is hard to believe as it is early in the school year!!) I would welcome any enrolment enquires and am happy to conduct personalized tours at mutually convenient times. Please encourage your friends and family members to contact me as I am more than happy to be given the opportunity to talk about this wonderful school of ours!
Email Addresses
Emailing parents forms a significant percentage of our communication method to parents. We would greatly appreciate an update should your email address change – with thanks in advance of your support. And Just a Reminder ….. Parent/Teacher Interviews Our mid year interviews will be conducted on Tuesday June 25th. and Wednesday 26th June 2019. School reports and portfolios will be sent home on Monday 24th June 2019. Please bring the school report and portfolio to the interview. Children are required to be a part of this interview process.
End of Term
As term two draws to a close I would like to thank the staff, parents and our wonderful children for such a productive term. I am so proud of you all and so fortunate to work with such a dedicated group of people. Everybody is very busy with team bonding meetings for our two sister school programs, HPV teams beginning their journeys, planning for the trip to Ramingining and China well underway, the grades 3 and 4 planning for their camping experience, planning for swimming and with the normal school program no wonder the children and staff are looking a little jaded! School will be dismissed at 2.30pm on Friday June 28th, the last day of term two.
