PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH
Winter is certainly upon us but that doesn’t stop our students getting out of the classroom and enjoying the outdoors. Last week Mr Rogers set up a new outdoor table tennis table and there has been lots of fun learning just how hard it is to control a tiny light ball. On the oval we continue to see great AFL games each break with lots of participants from all grades.
As we head towards the end of this term I would like to sincerely thank both Mrs Gilbert and Mrs Breaden for their commitment to making this school the great place it is. Mrs Gilbert has been teaching the Prep/1 class while Ms J has been away recovering from an injury and Mrs Breaden has been working with Trish in the MEC and as always all visiting schools are so positive about the amazing program offered here at Molesworth.
Thanks to the School Association fundraising efforts we now have a new stage space in our hall. This will definitely be great when we start our whole school assembles next term.
Parent/Teacher Interviews:
Thank you to all families that have booked a time for a conversation about their child’s learning with their child’s teacher. This year, with the change of reporting and assessment structures, these times are vital to support your child’s learning and wellbeing. If you have not yet made a time please book via Schoolzine or contact the School Office and they are more than happy to assist. If the times available do not suit please contact your child’s teacher to discuss alternative options. I know the teachers are looking forward to sharing with you all that your child has been doing so far this year and future goals for the rest of the year.
COVID Update:
As of Monday 27th June masks are no longer required to be worn at school. It is a choice and both students and adults are encouraged to continue wearing them if they choose. Thank you to all families who are keeping their children home if they are unwell. We do understand that extended absences can impact on learning however the health of all is priority. Teachers work very hard to make sure, on their return, they are given extra support to catch up. All our processes at school will continue including the use of hand sanitiser, the washing of hands regularly and the extra cleaning of high use areas including classroom tables.
Bus Travel:
As petrol prices continue to rise families are considering their options for travel to and from school. If you are wanting your child to catch the bus at any time please contact the School Office and they can give you all the relevant information.
