We will be planting the new Pin Oak tree on Thursday morning 12th November at 9.00am. If you wish to be here for the planting please let the office know so we can ensure appropriate spacing. 

The School Association meeting will be held tomorrow 3rd November at the school at 6.00pm.  If you are intending on coming to this meeting please let the office know so that appropriate seating can be arranged. 

The Primary Learn to Swim is off to a good start with the weather being favourable to us.  Please ensure that your child has sunscreen and a hat.  

Staff are continuing their professional learning journey with the final of 5 sessions focussed on improved learning outcomes in spelling being undertaken tomorrow afternoon.  Teachers are creating word aware classrooms and encouraging inquiry around the construction of words.  Language such as suffix and prefix are being used across the school and a range of strategies from sound, visual, meaning, connecting and checking are being used to explore words.  Exploration and inquiry help students understand words and this helps them with spelling.   

We have had a range of visitors to our school in recent weeks and they have been very impressed with the friendly manner in which our children interact and respond to visitors.  As they have walked around the school they have commented on the way in which the children play and engage positively with each other. They're a credit to us.
