Thank you to everybody for a great start to Term 3! It has been fantas c to see our students returning to school and se ling back into classroom and playground rou nes.
It was great to see a large number of Parents, Grand Parents and Carers come to the first round of our Parent Teacher Interviews yesterday evening. This is a great way for Parents to discuss their Child’s schooling with their Teacher and to look forward to the term ahead. During this process it is important to set goals and targets in each learning area for students to work towards over the coming Semester. A reminder that we have another round of interviews next Tuesday July 25, running from 3:15 – 4:30pm. Interviews can be booked through our school website.
In order for students to be successful at school it is essen al that they are a ending school every day. Our whole school a endance rate for Semester 1 was 89.6%. Our overall a endance target for the year is 93%. It is important that as a school community we are encouraging our students to a end school every day unless they are ill. I thank you in advance for con nuing to support our school in ensuring students are at school and learning every day.

Citizenship&AchievementAward—Grif inKrugerGriffin is a sensi ve and caring member of our class. Griffin enacts the classroom rules with confidence and independence at all mes. He is a responsible and a very posi ve role model for other students in Prep. He can o en be heard saying “That’s alright! I’ll try it again!”
Griffin is well liked by his peers and staff alike. He is a polite and well‐mannered member of our class. Griffin is always willing to volunteer to give his peers a hand and consistently cooperates with others during whole group and small group ac vi es.
Griffin consistently contributes to class discussions and is an ac ve learner. He always remains highly focussed when learning and completes set tasks in the me frame given. He works quietly and efficiently on all tasks he is set.
Griffin demonstrates that he is a self‐mo vated learner by consistently using his ini a ve, asking for help when he needs it and working independently on set tasks. When asked how Griffin can improve on his learning journey all I can say to Griffin is, to improve you need to reflect on your achievements and be proud of your academic success.
Griffin is an asset to our class and he is a student who has made excellent progress in Prep so far. Congratula ons Griffin!
