Principal’s Report

Student Reports

Teachers are currently extremely busy completing final

assessments and preparing the Semester Two reports.

Reports will be sent home during Week 9 and parents

are most welcome to make an appointment to discuss

them with their child’s teacher. Well done to all of our

students who have all made wonderful personal

progress and had put in such effort and dedication to

their learning throughout the year. Once again our

reports will reflect student achievements as well as

future learning goals.

2021 School Captains

Yesterday we heard from our 2021 school captain

nominees. The Year 5 students have been busily

preparing their speeches and did an amazing job at

presenting these in a new format via the zoom platform.

Speeches were live streamed to classrooms and to

parents of the nominees. We certainly have a wonderful

group to select from. Our captains will be announced at

Presentation Day.

Presentation Day

Our very special award ceremony will be held on

Wednesday 9 December at Junee North Public School

commencing at 12:30pm. This is a chance for our

students to be recognised for their efforts, contributions

and achievements throughout the year. Due to COVID-

19 restrictions in relation to the number of people who

can attend an inside gathering & enforcing the 4 square

metre rule we have made some slight changes this year

in the way we conduct our award ceremony and live

stream it to families to view via the online zoom webinar

platform. We were mindful in our decision making that

we maintained a whole school approach and not be in

a position to limit the students and families who could

attend. Making the change to a Presentation Day allows

all students to attend and participate. A zoom link will

be sent out to all families which can be accessed on any

device including mobile phones. We appreciate your

understanding and support with the changes to our end

of year events.

Year 6 Fun Farewell Activity Week

This year, due to COVID -19 restrictions and the

timeline in which guidelines change, Year 6 will have a

Farewell fun week in the last week of school instead of

a Year 6 Farewell dinner. Year 6 has been very involved

in the planning of this fun week and are very excited

about the challenges against the teachers – including a

water fight against the teachers! As part of the fun

week Year 6 will have a formal lunch at school –

abiding by the COVID – 19 food restrictions we have

organsised The Crossing Motel to cater for this event

with single served, pre-packaged amazing lunches for

the students. Unlike most years, the school will cover

the cost of this lunch for the students. A note will be

sent home this week, informing families about this Year

6 Fun Farewell Activity week.

Online Enrolments

NSW Department of Education is excited to announce

that they will be are rolling out the new Online

Enrolment System from Monday, 23 November 2020

The Online Enrolment System is designed to provide

flexibility for our parents to submit an enrolment

application online and at the time that best suits you.

mobile devices including iOS and Android.

The online application process is currently restricted to:

Enrolments into local schools only

Children who are Australian citizens, New

Zealand citizens or permanent residents

Children who live in NSW.

We offer our support and encourage you to complete

your application to enrol online. If, however, you do

not feel comfortable completing an application online,

front office or can be downloaded from the

Department’s going to a public school site.

effort.

Thumbs Up! To the amazing students at Junee North

Before & After School Care Survey

Dear parents

We want to offer families more flexibility with their

work commitments and child care arrangements and

to create more opportunities across the whole

community. Having Out of School Hours Care available

at local schools is a great way to achieve this.

As part of the NSW Government’s $120 million Before

and After School Care (BASC) commitment, parents at

all NSW schools were recently invited to complete a

Have Your Say survey. The survey asked parents to tell

us how they are using Out of School Hours Care, how

much it costs them, whether they plan to keep using it,

and what difficulties they experience in accessing it.

The survey results have helped us to better understand

the needs of families and what’s important to them.

We are now asking all parents to complete a quick

follow-up survey by Friday 27 November 2020. You

can access the survey at

https://surveys.education.nsw.gov.au/s3/OSHCParentS

urvey. This information will help us to target the rollout

of more before Out of School Hours Care services in

the right areas

If your child does not require Out of School Hours care,

we ask that you please still complete the first section of

this survey as it gives us important information about

the level of demand at your school.
