Dear Families,
As we reach the end of the second short week at the start of the school year it is safe to say that we are all feeling the heat, and feeling the rigour of returning to full-time learning after the covid-induced hiatus over the past six months. It is important to acknowledge that it will take time for all to be ‘match fit’ once again, to take our time and be gentle with each other. Thank you for your support of our teachers and your children.
Annual Consent Form Last Day to Return Monday 14th February Please
Your child/ren will have brought home our annual consent form for trips and visits across our school year as well as other critical consent elements. Your child/ren will not be able to leave the school for any trips or events until we have this form back to school (including Field of Dreams swimming for Year 3-6 students next week). Please bring your annual consent form back to your class teacher on Monday 14th February.
Meet the Teacher Zooms Next Week; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday After School
Your class teacher will share the zoom link via Seesaw. If you have not received the Zoom link via Seesaw by Monday afternoon please let your teacher know. When your allocated time comes up, open the zoom and you will be in the waiting room. When your teacher has completed the previous interview they will then let you in. There may be a minute to two delay while you are in the Zoom waiting room, please be patient as this is the first time we are attempting zoom interviews.
