Great work
This week I will host our first Bronze Morning Tea for
the first five students who have achieved their
Bronze Award for 2020. What a fantastic
achievement for Alice, Bridget, Isaac, Isabell and
Avneet.
Canteen volunteers
Our canteen has been a very busy place these
past few weeks where Rychelle has been working
incredibly hard to get lunches out to our students.
The demand has been high and it has become
apparent that she will need help on Wednesdays
and Fridays between 9:30-1:30. Canteen helpers (in
line with our updated restrictions) are able to be at
school with the principal’s permission and must sign
an external visitor’s declaration every time they
come to school. If you are available to help out on
a Wednesday or Friday, please let our front office
know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Attendance
As we settle back into regular learning routines as
much as we can, it is an opportunistic time to talk
about the importance of punctual, regular
attendance for all of our students. Being on time
and regular attendance is a high priority for our
school.
With our current overall attendance rate sitting at
approximately 78%, we believe we can take steps
together as a community to improve this statistic.
The importance of attending school every day
cannot be underestimated. Schools play a vital role
in the social and emotional development of
children. Regular attendance enables students to
develop a strong sense of belonging to a peer
group and assists in building important lifelong skills.
Keep your eye out for more attendance
information as we work together towards improving
our school's attendance rate.
In saying this, if your child is not well enough to be
at school, please keep them at home to minimise
the spread of any sickness. We have created the
flowchart below to assist with deciding if your child
is able to attend school.
Fathers Day Stall
Our school will host the Fathers Day Stall for the P&C
this coming Friday. A reminder to pay the $5.00
prepaid cost to minimise money handling. This can
be done online through the school website or at
our front office.
Have a great week of learning,
Joanna Henderson
