Finally, our school term has begun. Welcome back everyone! We are excited to get to know all of our new staff, students and families. It is so fantastic to have the majority of our students back at school after such a long break and we are all very pleased to get the school year underway. All students have settled well and are learning about routines, transitions and expectations for the classroom and school. It’s vital that we keep in touch with each other about your child and her/his education. It’s even more important that our students be actively involved in talking with their parents and teachers about their learning.  

Here is a few photos of some of our hard working students during their first week back.  

Class Dojo 

Most classrooms are using Class Dojo as part of their class reward system and also as a way of communicating with parents and carers.  

The online consent forms have already been sent home with students please return the permission forms to the school office as soon as possible. 

Curriculum & Classes 

To date we have 18 classes with two composite classes- a Year 3/4 Class and a Year 5/6 Class. Right from day 1, all students are engaging with the eight areas of the National Curriculum. Class newsletters and curriculum maps which outline the work covered in Term 1, were sent home last week. We send these out each term to keep you informed of the great work that is happening in each of our classrooms.
