Principal's News

Welcome to Week 8

Welcome everyone.  Congratulations to all of our students, staff, parent helpers and Miss Roberts for a successful and exciting Sports Day.  The weather was amazing and the behaviour and sportsmanship of our students on the day was excellent.

Congratulations to all of our selected students who are will be Attending the Cumberland Sports Day on Tuesday 13th June.  These students will definitely be able to display the school 3 Expectations on the day.

A special thank you is also extended to our P & C who organised a Coffee Van for parents, carers, community members and teachers.  The P & C Stall was a great success on Sports Day. 

Reminder:- P & C Disco—Theme is 80’s Fluro—June 9th.  Please support the disco and come with your child to dance and have fun.  If you have some spare time on Thursday or Friday the P & C would welcome some helpers to decorate the hall.

Week 8 will be focusing on learning and completing assessment for teachers.  Students are trying to finish their work and tasks for staff.  Please support your child’s teacher by reminding your child about the PBL expectations in our school.  Be a learner is one of these expectations. 

Students continue to work hard in all classes.  Please continue to support our staff and encourage your child to be persistent with their learning tasks and complete them to the best of their ability.  Teachers are very busy at the moment finishing assessment tasks.  Students who try hard to complete all of their work support staff during this busy period of the term.

As I visit classrooms each day it is always pleasing to see students learning.  It is important to always ask permission to leave your classroom.  Being safe in our school means being in the right place at the right time.

As we enter into the cooler months I have noticed a lot of lost property around the school.  Jumpers need be named as well as lunch boxes.  There are quite a few lunch boxes left in the UCA at the end of each day.  Many of these are not named and as they are quite expensive it is  disappointing to see them left at school.

Our Leap into Pioneer Maths was an extension program that was offered last Thursday to our year 6 students.  They all had a very successful experience. Thank you to Mrs Adjurn for supporting the students at this program.

Please note that our short PBL Parade will be held every Wednesday morning at 8:30 am.  Our key message this week is being RESPECTFUL.  USE YOUR MANNERS AND SAY PLEASE AND THANK YOU. We are also reminding students about using kind words rather than their hands, feet or objects.

Before school reading is Tuesday and Friday mornings. Thank you to those parents who are volunteering from 8:30-8:45 am.
