HALFWAY THROUGH TERM 3!

Can you believe we are at the end of Week 5 already?! This term (and year) is just flying by but there are still many good things to look forward to before the holidays (reminders in this and upcoming updates).

Along with all of the exciting things this term so far, there has also been lots going on in the wellbeing space, particularly with our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS). If you have been in the school recently, you may have noticed the new expectation posters that have been put up including new outdoor posters for our outside play areas. These serve as great reminders to students about our expectations for how our students can be kind, respectful and determined in all areas of the school. 

Have a chat to your child about these and why they are important.

Donations will go to Story Dogs’ (https://www.storydogs.org.au/) whose mission is to create a safe, fun, supportive, non-judgemental environment for primary school-aged children needing assistance with literacy.
