I would like to welcome everyone back for what will be a very busy term 4 and hope that everyone had a good break.
Congratulations to Mrs McCabe and her Jump Jam troupe which represented the school with great distinction during the holidays.
For our year 6 students this marks the start of their last term with us. I know the year 6 teachers are busy organising a memorable graduation and end of year activities for these students.
This year our year 5 and 6 students have swimming lessons at the beach to look forward to. This should be a great experience for the students, particularly given the role that the sea plays in the Australian lifestyle.
It will be very important that all families keep a regular eye on our webpage and on the newsletter to ensure that they don’t miss any of the activities.
2020
It is very important that families that are leaving us this year let the school know at the earliest opportunity. This information will be essential to ensure the accuracy of our planning and preparations for 2020.
Class Placement Requests
I would ask that any parents with specific requests for 2020 submit these to the Principal marked “Private & Confidential” by the close of business Friday November 1. Only written requests with an educational focus will be considered and whilst we endeavour to satisfy parent requests it is important to note that the school cannot guarantee this.
After School Play
Whilst we do not discourage parents from spending some time after school with their children playing on the school playgrounds we would like to remind parents that they must supervise their children during this time. Please note that the external access gates are locked at 3.30pm most days.
Canteen Parking
I would like to remind parents that the carpark behind the canteen is not a drop off zone. This parking is for canteen and dental staff only.
