As we begin to feel the cold of Winter, we, as a staff are feeling thankful to those families who are being proactive and keeping their children at home when they are presenting with any flu like symptoms.  The common cold and all of the associated symptoms, runny noses, coughs and feeling lethargic are becoming prevalent once again.  There is no need for a doctors certificate unless the symptoms persist for 3 or more days, but, it is more important than ever to keep your child at home until their symptoms subside.  

Over the coming weeks, staff are preparing for a modified Mid Year Report for Prep to Grade 6 students.  This will be sent home at the end of week 2, Term 3.  Parent Teacher meetings will not be compulsory this term, although, should you wish to communicate any concerns or changes in circumstances, please book in a time, email or call when it is convenient for you.  We will always return your call at our earliest convenience.

Monday, July 20, day 1 of Term 3 is a staff Professional Learning Day and student free day.  On this day, all staff will be participating in a whole school approach to spelling.  The program is called 'SMART Spelling' and will support our MultiLit programs currently operating throughout the school.  The following short videos will provide you with an introduction into this method and a lesson in action.

We are looking forward to hosting our very first end of Term 2 virtual assembly on Tuesday 30th June from 1:30pm.  We hope you can join us!
