PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
Interschool Cross Country:
A huge congratulations to all the students from grade 3 to 6 that participated in the interschool cross country yesterday. It was great to hear the personal best efforts by so many of the children on such a chilly day. Thanks to the family members who were able to attend and cheer on Molesworth Primary.
Winter has certainly arrived this week. Please check that your child is bringing their school jumper to school as outside play is an important part of their wellbeing and mornings are very chilly. The School Office has plenty of jumpers available for sale and we also have a store of second hand articles for a gold coin donation.
A reminder also that if your child is wearing shorts to school please check they are school style shorts not short sports shorts.
Wednesday 25th May was Simultaneous Storytime. Every class joined in the reading of the selected book along with over a million other students from around the country. The story ‘Family Tree’ shared a very special message about families and connections. If you have not yet seen our outside display please have a look next time you are at school.
Term 2 reports and Parent teacher interviews:
Today you will receive a notification to book a time for a conversation with your child’s teacher. These are a great time for teachers to share examples of your child’s learning and for you to share any relevant information to support your child at school. During the interview time teachers will give you your child’s mid-year report. The new look report will show your child’s learning achievement differently. A new 9-point visual scale replaces A-E ratings for students in Years 1 to 10 (and for Prep students at the end of the year). The 9-point scale will show more specifically where your child’s learning achievement is against the expected standard for their year level.
If you have any problems making a booking please contact the School Office as they are more than happy to help. If you are not able to attend any of the times offered please make contact with the teacher directly to look at alternative times. Parent teacher discussions are a wonderful time to share successes and celebrate your child’s progress with their learning. We encourage students to come with you to these meetings.
SRC fund raiser – Dress up as your favourite fictional character:
Thanks to all families for supporting the SRC on this day, there were lots of very imaginative outfits using everyday items form home. Lots of fun was had by the students on the day. A total of $180.00 was raised which will be put towards and end of year gift for the school.
