TERM 2 - REFLECTION

jessicaclarkProofs0978small
As we complete what has been an interesting and somewhat challenging term 2, it is nice to reflect upon how our community has supported each other in trying times. We would like to thank and acknowledge Praveena and Le Tran, our social work students, for supporting our staff and students, and completing their 500 hours of service. We have really appreciated all they have shared with us including aspects of their culture, crafts, and yoga.

Next term we welcome back Leah Osborne to our school. Leah returns from leave and will undertake a range of roles to support classroom planning and provide literacy support for some of our senior students. We look forward to having her rejoin our team.

Pupil Free Day

The first day of term 3, Monday 20th July will be a pupil free day. Staff will use this day to continue the moderation of writing samples, explore great writing strategies, and reflect on our programme of inquiry. OSHC will be available for this day. Please contact Dennis or Kevin should you need to book for the day.

Reports and 3 Way Discussions

I would like to acknowledge the dedication of staff over the course of the term to support online learning and then transition back to face to face learning. Given significant interruption to learning, staff have worked hard to complete semester one reports which will be sent home next Friday. Following on from this, families will be invited to a 3-way discussion during Wk 3 and 4 of next term.

We have enjoyed hosting the weekly Virtual Assemblies providing an opportunity to share news and classrooms around the school. We appreciate the very positive feedback we have received from families who have in the past been unable to attend Assemblies. Next term we will go back to having a whole school assembly on Monday mornings and will continue to stream this so that families have the opportunity to view news and recognitions.

Thank you to families for following social distancing guidelines and communicating via email and phone calls.

COVID-19 update for Term 3 

  • Please drop off and pick up your child from outside the classroom - this will support staff to manage the number of people inside of buildings. We would ask that families continue to email and phone the school to communicate. Our children have done a great job of organising themselves in the morning and we are confident that they will continue to develop their organisational skills.
  • Volunteers will be invited by staff to recommence work within the school. Please ensure you have completed the volunteer induction before commencing volunteer work within the school.
  • Cleaning (extra 3 hours per day): daily clean of the playground, shared areas, classrooms, high touch surfaces, and tabletops.
  • Our assemblies will initially be held for students only. Parents will be provided with a youtube link to view assemblies.

On behalf of the staff, I would like to wish families a safe and relaxing holiday.
