FROM OUR PRINCIPAL MRS LEANNE SMITH

Another very busy fortnight around the school and in our classrooms since our last newsletter.  Each class have been adding their creative ideas to share their learning via our first ever virtual assembly.  The assembly will be broken up in to grade items and your child’s class presentation will be shared on Seesaw.  We will also share all the grades via Schoolzine so keep an eye out for both of those. 

Last week, through the rather chilly days including the snow day, the workers completed the demolition of the old prep room. We now have a clean slate ready to start the new development.  We are all so looking forward to next year when we have all 6 classrooms in the same area, at the same level with paths and doors to connect each to one another and have our hall back.  When the build is completed, as a staff, we will look at which areas best suit the learning of which grades. 

It is great to be able to run excursions again and today the grade 4/5 went to the Moonah Sports Centre to experience wheelchair basketball and on September 3 the 5/6 class are off to the Tasmanian Hockey Centre.  Together with the MEC excursions we are always seeking ways to support and enrich the learning in each class in our school.

It is lovely to see our Pre-Kinder and LiL families back on Thursdays and Fridays.  We will post on our communication sites when there is a change to allow out of area families to return.  If you have a Kinder child for 2021 (born 2016) and are in area or know of a family in area we are currently taking enrolments. Contact the office for enrolment forms.  Next year is a big year of younger brothers and sisters ready for Kinder.
