Whole School Updates

  • This is the last week of Term 3.  We wish all our students and families a safe and happy school holiday time together.  Term 4 returns on Monday 17 October
  • A reminder that daylight savings starts this weekend on Sun 2/10 – don’t forget to put your clocks forward, and enjoy the long weekend.  
  • This week on Weds the year 1, 2, 4 & 6’s are going to see Sound of Music at the Shedley Theatre, and the Foundations are going to the Road and Safety Cycle Centre at Ridgehaven.  

 

2023 Class Placements

  • If you are not returning to Immanuel in 2023 (other than moving into a secondary school) please be reminded that a terms notice is required.  Please put this in writing to darylt@ilsg.sa.edu.au
  • At this time each year we ask for any input from families around class placement for 2023.  Generally this input will be around learning needs and information that will help us place students in class groups for maximum success. We ask that families refrain from ‘requesting teachers’ especially as teaching staff can change (due to either leaving our school or changing grades).     
  • Again this year we ask parents to provide their input via logging onto www.schoolinterviews.com.au and enter the code 2vbys or click here.   Please be aware that this information is shared with class teachers as we work through the process.  Please provide any information by Tuesday Friday 28 October (End Term 4 Week 2)

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.

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
