PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
Thank you to all families for following all of the Public Health guidelines that were put in place last Friday. It is great to see all our students back in classes yesterday and all adults on site wearing masks. A reminder that if you enter our school grounds you now need to check in via the TAS Check-in app not just if you come inside the building.
A reminder that tomorrow is Show Day and Friday is a student free day so I hope everyone has a lovely extra long weekend and enjoys the predicted sunshine and warm weather.
As we settle into Term 4 we see on the calendar there are lots of extra events happening outside regular classroom learning. Please keep a regular check on your emails and the SZapp app as all our notes and permission forms now come through electronically. Any issues please contact the Office and they are more than happy to help.
Our webpage has a school calendar on it and all events are added to that as well to keep you up to date.
Thanks to everyone who have found their child’s bucket hats for this term. If needed there are plenty in stock at the office for $8.00.
On Wednesday 3rd November we have our Term 4 open session. It is Outdoor Classroom Day and this year we welcome families to come and join in. You are welcome to drop in at any time between 9:10 am and 11:30 am for as little or as long as you like. During these times children will be working in mixed groups outside for 2 different activities. The first session will run from 9:10 am until 10:10 am and the second session from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. The Prep to Grade 2/3 classes will be in mixed groups and the 3/4 to 5/6 classes the same. All groups will be outside around the school. The office will have a list of where children are or you are welcome to wander and find them. The coffee van will also be here on that day.
Week 4 and Week 5 ( 1st to 12th November), the Swimming and Water Safety Program is being run for grades 3, 4 and 5 students. There will be extra information coming out about this to those classes and if you have any questions please talk with your child’s teacher.
Congratulations to all students who braved the chilly weather yesterday and competed in our school swimming trails. It was so great to witness the dedication of all to do their very best and the support of their school mates. The interschool event is on Thursday November 4th and relevant information will be sent out to all families of students who are eligible for this event.
