Welcome Back

Dear parents/caregivers,

Hopefully you have had a good break and your children are excited about returning to school on Thursday 1st February, we are certainly looking forward to seeing them!

Just a few quick reminders:

• Multiple construction projects are largely completed and the school grounds will be safe to reopen to the public from Wednesday 31 January - thank you for your support with this necessary safety measure over the last couple of weeks.

• We have scheduled Learning Conferences for Wednesday 31 January. This is an opportunity to meet your child's teacher, share information about them and co-construct goals for the year ahead. We encourage all parents to attend these meetings as there is not another event for reporting purposes until the mid year. The interview site has been reopened for bookings and will close tomorrow at 5.00pm. Please prepare for these meetings by completing the Learning Profile and bringing this along with you on Wednesday.

• From the start of the year we have changed our break times as follows:

• Morning Tea - 10.30-11.00am

• Lunch - 12.30-1.30pm

• On Thursday 1 February the new junior playground and turf area will be officially opened at 10.15am. Parents are welcome to attend this event.

• Our first assembly will be held on Friday 2 February from 9.00-9.30am to officially welcome our new students and staff. Our normal weekly assemblies will resume from week 3 on Monday’s from 9.00-9.30am.

• Monday 5 February school is closed for a Teacher Only Day.

It would be awesome if your children could have their uniform, stationery, hats and togs ready for the first day of term. I look forward to reconnecting with you and your children later in the week, enjoy the last couple of days of the break!

Kind regards,

Symon Beattie
