Term 2 - Week 11


Principal Message

Dear Families, 

I would like to thank all the staff and families for a wonderful last week of term 2. It's been a busy and tiring week, but we made it. Wishing all students a well deserved break and families a happy holiday period. If you are traveling, please stay safe and have fun. Can't wait to see you all back in term 3 on Monday the 15th July.

Grade 2 Swimming Program

This week our grade 2 students concluded their swimming lessons on Thursday. What an awesome program. Thank you to all involved, staff and parent helpers. 

Excursions and Incursions

On Monday the Year 6 students went to Bounce. I was informed it was a great fun day! 

The grade 3’s and 6’s are finishing their Live education incursions which explored building positive, safe and respectful relationships. These visits will focuses on:

  • understanding how and why it's important to respect ourselves and others,
  • exploring the impact of disrespectful behaviours,
  • identifying characteristics of positive relationships and strategies to maintain them,
  • strategies to respond to unsafe or disrespectful situations online and offline,
  • strategies for emotional regulation and avenues to seek support when needed.

Student Reports

Semester 1 Student Reports are now live and available for viewing to all families on the Compass app. Next term on Wednesday July 24th will be a student free day as it is Parent Teacher Conference day. Families can now book in their times with the classroom teacher. 

Parents from students in grade 4/5B will have their parent teacher conferences later in term 3 when Mrs Webb returns from long service leave. Parents will be notified of date and times available to book.

Life Education Grade 3-6

As part of our health education this term we are having the Life Education mobile learning centre visit our school.

This module focuses on being a good friend. The concepts of; asking consent, having tricky conversations with friends, and feelings associated with big changes are also explored. Students will learn about:
• identifying and practising assertive communications skills

• practising emotional regulation skills such as mindful breathing

• broadening and developing emotional literacy 
 
 The sessions are always fun, interactive and really extend and develop the children’s understanding of the topics covered.
