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).     
  • Parents are asked to provide their input via logging onto www.schoolinterviews.com.au and enter the code 2vbys or click here.   Please provide any information by Friday 28 October (end of this week Term 4 Week 2)

Please be aware that this information is shared with class teachers as we work through the process.

Parent Volunteers 

We really appreciate parents and caregivers helping at Immanuel, however people who volunteer in a school need to have completed the following:

1.    Attend a Valuing Safe Communities’ (VSC) training session with Daryl Trigg.
We hold these sessions every term, so for term 4 training will be held on:  

Wednesday 2 November 2022 at 2.30pm or at 6.30pm in the school admin building.
Please RSVP via jennyj@ilsg.sa.edu.au

This check needs to be updated every 3 years.  If you have done a face to face session in the past you can redo online.  Please contact Jenny for the link.   

2.    A Working with Children Check (WWCC).  

This can be obtained by contacting Jenny in the office or applying on line at https://screening.sa.gov.au/   

There is no charge if you are volunteering in a school.  This check needs updating every 5 years.  

Any person volunteering in a school also needs to provide proof of their Covid vaccinations.  

Assemblies / Worship & Praise

  • We will now allow parents / caregivers to attend these events.  However for the time being we ask that you wear a mask when the event is held indoors.   
  • Worship & Praise this Friday 28 October at 10.30am in Taikondi will be led by Daryl.   
  • Assembly will be held Monday 7 November with the Year 3’s   

 

Volunteers for 2023 

Second Hand Uniform Stall 

  • We are seeking a new parent volunteer to help open the Second Hand Uniform shop from Term 4 / and into 2023.  Please let the school office know if you are able to help with this. 

Lyndoch Road Traffic Monitors (Adults) 

  • This is an important role, assisting our students cross the busy Lyndoch Road.  Please start thinking if you can help with this in 2023, and if so please let Daryl or Jenny know.

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
