END OF YEAR EVENTS:

Wednesday 9^th December:  Individual end of year reports will be sent home.  Teachers have been very busy making sure in each report they are sharing with you a summary of the year for your child.  Please keep an eye out for these next Wednesday and enjoy reading them together.  If you would like to meet with your child’s teacher after Wednesday to discuss the report, please message them via Seesaw. 

Tuesday 15^th December:  Students will spend part of the morning session meeting their teacher and classmates for next year.  I know this is an exciting and nervous time for many children and be assured that a great deal of thought and planning has gone into class structures for 2021.  Thank you to the parents who sent in a letter with their preferences, which have all been taken into consideration. 

Wednesday 16^th December – 11:00 am.  End of year assembly and presentation day:  As has been explained in earlier newsletters, this year’s assembly will be a little different to previous years.  The assembly will take place on the oval near the new fire tank.  The area will be set up with space for either picnic rugs or camp chairs.  Please bring either with you to sit on.  There will be three musical/dance items as many classes have combined to guarantee the biggest impact in an outside venue.  Mr Hay has done an amazing job preparing these items with the classes. 

During this assembly we will be farewelling staff members who are finishing at Molesworth, our EFA Mr Rodney Brown who will be enjoying retirement after 23 years here, Mrs Kaye Bush who is also retiring and looking forward to plans as a retiree,  Irene Hilly who has been sharing the 3/4 class with Mr David Hay and Miss Taylor Huddleston who has been sharing the Grade 5/6 class with Mrs Sharon Rime.  On behalf of everyone at Molesworth we thank them very much for their contribution to this amazing school and wish them all the best for the years ahead. 

The Grade six awards will also be presented during the assembly.   The Grade 6 class are having a separate graduation morning tea as there are no facilities with the outdoor event to share the memories of the Grade 6 students slide show.  Parents of the Grade 6 students have received a separate invitation for this event.

As part of our requirements all attendees will need to complete the contact tracing form.  Please contact the office with numbers attending so we can send home forms prior to the day.    As the event starts at 11:00 am we will be setting up and going through final practices prior to this so we ask visitors to not arrive any earlier than 10:30 am.  There will be a sanitising and sign in station at the entrance to the oval.

Last Day – 17^th December: With the year that we have had we thought it would be lovely to end with a celebration of the amazing students of Molesworth.  As we are not allowed to have food bought from home to have classes share, the School Association have arranged for all Kinder students to be given and wrapped ice-cream (as their day finishes at 12:10 pm) and Prep-6 classes will each be given 4 large pizzas.  These will be delivered to each classroom for lunch.  Every child will be offered 2 pieces of pizza.  As the pizza is prepared in a commercial facility they are allowed to be shared at school.  After lunch we will join all the school together to take part in a fun colour run on the oval.  If you are not sure what a colour run is check it out at Home - The Color Run™

The products used are made from corn flour and food colouring, they are non-toxic and non-flammable and will not stain hair or skin.  If you would like more details about the product used please contact the office.  During the afternoon children will have an obstacle style course to run around going through colour stations where teachers will throw the colour for the students to run through.  It is recommended that children bring an old t-shirt to wear – white will show the best colour.  It is going to be a fabulous fun way to celebrate the end of 2020.
