Welcome back to what we hope will be a quiet and productive term! It has been wonderful to see all our lovely students again. Thank you for returning them to us so refreshed and obviously ready for learning. This term we welcome three new staff to our team; Mrs Amelia Kenny is joining us on the Grade Four class, and Mrs Christine Meikle and Phoebe Body are joining us as Teacher Assistants.

This term we are very pleased to open up our new nature play area beside the Music block, in front of the loose parts play container. We will be providing students with digging utensils, as well as daily challenges to find hidden objects and encouraging the students to use natural and manmade objects to inform their play. Promoting their curiosity and wonder is so important and we would like to thank Brett for helping us make this area so flexible and fun!

Reading is a whole school priority and every class has committed to guided reading groups several times a week. To help assist this process we encourage any parents, grandparents or community members to contact their classroom teachers to volunteer as a ‘parent helper’, especially during our morning literacy blocks. If you have a current RWVP card and have some spare time we would love to invite you back into our classrooms. Please contact class teachers directly to organise a time.
