Dear Families,

Welcome back to school! It is wonderful to see our children return to school ready for a great year of learning.

Happy Chinese New Year to all! 新年快乐! Xīn nián kuàilè!

Pick up – thank you for your patience

Thank you for your patience, particularly at the end of the day around our exit protocols. It is challenging to exit all students in a short period of time meeting Covid Red protocols and we appreciate your ongoing support particularly around parking safely while respecting our neighbours when collecting your child/ren.

Getting to know our learner sheets

Our teachers are busily getting to know their students and establishing systems and routines in class. Your child will have brought home the ‘Getting to Know Our Learners’ sheet this afternoon. Please take the time to fill this in and return it by Friday 11th February so our teachers can add parent voice in preparation for the ‘Meet the Teacher Zooms’ which are coming up in Week 3. Disposition goals will be established at these zoom meetings in Week 3.
