Class arrangements

Last week our teaching staff undertook the process to create class lists for next year. I would like to acknowledge the careful consideration taken by staff in the allocation of student class groupings for 2021. I feel that we have a model of smaller class sizes and arrangement based on 19 classrooms. This is a temporary plan for class groupings until the eighth day of school next year. Please continue to promote our school and encourage our community as the place to enrol for the future.  Staff have now been notified which year level and class they will be teaching for 2021. Yesterday students had a wonderful, engaging session with their new teacher. I was most impressed how settled all students were and relaxed in their new classroom environments. Over the school holidays we will be again promoting our Meet and Greet BBQ. This morning provides an opportunity for families to drop in school supplies, collect uniforms, spend time in the classroom with the teacher and connect in with peers. If parents have any questions or queries this is the perfect morning to check in with the teacher before school re commences. This event will take place on Friday the 22 January from 8am -10am

Reporting period

Teachers are now finalising the reporting process for Semester Two and are preparing for the dissemination of this document in the last week of this term. It is a great opportunity to celebrate the growth in every child’s learning and individual achievements. Students and staff have been working hard on setting goals towards this latest report. Once reports are emailed use this opportunity to unpack and discuss the report with your child. Valuable feedback given from the teacher will be great conversation for families to discuss commencing a new year of learning in 2021.

Farewell 2020

Can I take this opportunity in the last school newsletter for the year to farewell outgoing staff from our school community. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to our students and I wish you all the most success on your new ventures.

In closing I would like to wish all of our families a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. I know after this year in particular it is important to rest and recharge the batteries. I am looking forward to seeing everyone back in 2021. Stay safe and thank you for all your support throughout the year.
