PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
A very busy 2 weeks as we settle into the term. There have been lots of conversations about the Olympics and the history of the sports at the games.
All classes have begun their preparation for our first assemblies for the year next week. If you have not let the office know and are able to come please send a note or give them a call. Mr Hay has been busy practising a whole school song to share and Miss Gourlay will present the dance from the mini Olympics last term with all the students, as well as each class sharing what they have been learning.
Next Tuesday is our School Association meeting which all parents are welcome to attend. If you have any questions or have something you would like discussed, please talk with our parent reps.
HELP NEEDED:
As the building is now complete we are looking at what we can do to improve the school grounds. Mr Brendan Rogers our EFA has been very busy tidying and improving all our garden beds around the school. The new garden beds in the asphalt area are full of rich healthy soil ready to be planted once the frosts are over. Thanks to Mrs April Watt for her guidance and organisation of suitable plants for this area. We have new footpaths at the front of the school being organised at the moment and the improvement of the entrance gates for the top of the school.
We are looking at ways to add alternative play spaces for our students to further develop imaginative play. We are wanting to set up a space that allows children to create obstacle courses and has alternative height play. We are looking for a few short parts of tree trunks. If anyone knows where we can get these from can they please let the office know (as shown).
We are also looking for anyone who might have a couple of hours to spare to build an open box out of a couple of palettes that we can store the large plastic interconnecting blocks we have moved in to the playground.
We are also looking for a mud kitchen type station that can also be made out of palettes.
If you have any ideas, thoughts or can help please contact myself or the office.
