Principal's Report
Dear Families
Initially the plan was for this to be my final newsletter and for Mrs McKay to return to school on Monday 24th August. However in order to make sure that Mrs McKay is truly healed and well enough to be onsite without having another fall, it has been decided that she will extend her leave by another week. Mrs McKay will now be returning on Monday 31st August and I am sure everyone will be very excited to see her return. In the meantime, I am loving being a part of the Glen Huon Primary School Team.
A reminder that the Student Wellbeing Survey will be taking place for Grade 4-6 students next week. Information about this was sent home to families a few weeks ago. Parent School Satisfaction Surveys will also be coming home next week to each family. These are a great way of establishing our schools strengths, but also areas we need to improve on. I strongly encourage families to take the time to complete these surveys, which can be done on paper or electronically, and I thank you for your support in doing this.
A reminder also that our school day ends at 2:55pm. In previous years the school day has ended at 3:00pm, however due to industrial agreements regarding teacher instructional hours, the end of day was amended to 2:55pm.
New Kindergarten Update
Each week sees a little bit more progress on our new Kindergarten building. This week the bricklayers have been very busy indeed!
