Dear Families,   

As we draw towards the end of another busy school term it is always good to reflect on the many great learning opportunities that occur in our school. Here are some key events from term 3:

• JP Dance concert
• Bookweek parade
• Music concert
• Festival of Music performance
• SAPSASA knockout sports
• Athletics Day at the SA sports stadium
• Science week activities
• NAPLAN
• PAT testing
• SIP showcase
• Chess competition
• Jump rope demo at Clarendon
• Student Action Groups
• Murphy our therapy assist dog

Thanks for your ongoing support.

This week we have provided families with a pack of student work samples to conduct a student led conference at home, along with some guidelines to support the process. For those who are new, or have not seen this process take place at school, the focus is on students presenting their learning, sharing growth and challenges, and developing goals for the future. The process is almost entirely student led with the teacher available to support if required. We would like to thank you for supporting the 'home' student led conference and responding with parent reflection. If you require further information or clarification please contact your child's classroom teacher to organise a phone call or interview. We appreciate that COVID-19 restrictions have impacted opportunities to connect with parents but want you to know we are more than happy to receive emails or a phone call to discuss any concerns.

NAPLAN

Our NAPLAN results have arrived with some excellent growth displayed. We have seen improved high achievement in Yr 3 writing, Yr 5 reading and Yr 7 Numeracy. Tomorrow Yr 3,5 and 7 students will bring home an envelope containing NAPLAN results. Should you wish to discuss the results please contact your child's classroom teacher to make an appointment. 

UNIFORM 

We are currently noticing some students wearing clothing that does not comply with our uniform policy. Sports jumpers can only be worn if students represent within a school sport and may only be worn for one week after the event. Beanies can be worn to and from school, but not in the classroom, and should be plain school colours. Please find the policy attached for your reference. With increasing UV, hats will be required to be worn at both recess and lunch time in Term 4.

LOST PROPERTY

There is a mountain of lost property handed in and we are very keen for parents to come in and search for lost items. Much of the clothing is not named which creates a real headache for staff. Can you please make sure all items of clothing are named. Come and have a look and if you think it might be yours we are very happy for you to take clothing.

Next Thursday and Friday, between 9 and 10, Jenny Tucker will put lost property out near the green court and parents are invited to come in to look through items.
