Dear Parents and Friends of the School,
Thank you for ensuring that your child is ready for school each morning. I would like to remind families that it is good for your child to arrive before the 9am bell, as it is important that they have returned their books, have set up their learning resources and have had time to socialise with their friends.
The PTA are meeting next Tuesday, 20 February at 7pm in the staffroom. They would appreciate your support so feel most welcome to come along. There will be a lot of information coming home soon regarding how you can help with the Fair, including a class roster for food or game stalls and what you could donate and how to do this.
A reminder for families that on even school weeks (this is Week 2), we have a Friday assembly at 9.00am. This involves a class item, songs, class certificates and maybe some individual or group items. Please feel most welcome to come to these assemblies. This week, Room 16 (Miss Comber, Year 3) has their item and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
The Board has just employed Christine Chen (mother of Ryan Zhang) to help support our ESOL students in the Junior School. Welcome to our staff Christine. Thank you to the Board for supporting staff and students.
The school has many expenses which are not met by Ministry of Education funding. We rely heavily on school donations. These include funding all of our support staff, staff above entitlement, office staff and caretakers, resources for the classroom and the wonderful upgrade of Rooms 13-15. We would appreciate it if you could pay your school donation so we can continue to provide excellent teaching environments.
