Monday Memos Week 7 Term 4

Sneaking closer and closer to the end of the game that has been 2020. What a cruel blow last weeks camp cancellation was. When you put it in perspective, we live in a very lucky country and an even luckier state where we haven't had the loss of life and frustration of being in full lock downs for weeks and or months at a time.

Here's some bits and pieces so you are in the know...

Graduation is a week and a half away, so I pose this question to you… what type of graduation parent do you think you’ll be this year? Are you: A) a box of tissues type B) a yell out a comment type C) a ‘oh where did the time go’ type  D) a can’t believe they got this far type E) a you can’t have too many photos type F) all the above G) none of the above H) we will wait and see iPads iPads are being collected for decommissioning this Thursday, please make sure that they are fully charged on arrival at school that day and all wanted files have been backed up elsewhere. Uniform next week Students will be able to wear their sports uniforms on Tuesday and Wednesday next week in order to keep their formal uniforms in top condition for the Thursday night Graduation Evening. Library books and scissors A strange pairing, but what do these two things have in common? When people graduate, both items can sometimes disappear, never to be seen again. Can you please check school bags, around the hou

Here we are, a couple days left. It would be interesting to know how all the students are feeling. I do know that some can’t wait to move on and some don’t want to leave. As always, many are probably feeling a little bit from column A and column B.  Reports Reports to go out tomorrow.  Pizza Lunch Tomorrow Tomorrow, as a gift to the students, Tayla and I have organised a pizza lunch for students. We hope they enjoy! Graduation Evening Please see your invite for the details of time. The evening will commence with the graduation ceremony and will lead into an evening of enjoying each other’s company one last time as a group.  So that things run smoothly, we ask that you arrive on time.

Creeping closer and closer to the end of the year, but the work doesn’t stop…  Academics   The big ticket item in class right now is responding to the Ted Hughes novel The Iron Man. The Playberry literacy routines will continue through to the end of the year and in maths we are currently playing around with algebra and problem solving.  End of Year Guff As a part of the student graduation, we are after a photo of each child from when they commenced school (Foundation). If your child commenced at a different school, we would love it if you could email us a digital copy so we can add it to the presentation.  For the graduation evening, it is expected that students are wearing formal summer uniform. That includes socks 😁 Signing gear - we understand that kiddies (and adults) love this and that’s ok. History tells us that it also becomes a great distraction and sometime comments aren’t always written with kindness in mind. We will be talking to students about this but we will also only ac
