Whole School Updates

 

Secondary School

·         We would like to remind families that closing dates for Secondary School applications are fast approaching.

·         If you haven’t made contact it’s our recommendation that you do it ASAP, especially if you have a child in Year 5 (or year 4).   Leaving it to the last minute or missing the closing date can lead to disappointment and frustration as places fill. 

 

Simultaneous Story Time - Wed 25 May

·         Simultaneous Story Time is held annual by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).  

·         Every year a picture book written and illustrated by Australians is read simultaneously in libraries, schools & children’s facilities all over the country.     

·         The Story is “A Family Tree” (by Josh Pyke and Ronojoy Ghosh) 

·         The Year 2 classes will go to the Gawler Civic Centre Library for the storytime reading, whilst all other years levels will listen to the story here at 10.30am  

 

Year 6 Bike Ed 

·         This Thursday 26/5 the Year 6 students begin the Bike Ed program. 

·         This involves a series of lessons run by Bike Ed SA (sponsored by the RAA). Students will learn about bike maintenance through to road rules which will lead to bike riding on our local roads. Please take extra care in and around the school during this time as students may be riding their bikes around the school perimeter.

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.

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
