Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

This has been a super week at school, headlined by the Sports Fun Days.  These mini carnivals were very well attended and I want to acknowledge the support of our families who cheered the little athletes on.  Our children epitomised our sports mantra of Fun - Fitness - Friendship across the entire day.  While the results went Pedley's way this time, the scores were very close.  

Thank you sincerely to our P&C for supporting student lunches and to the staff team who were once again amazing in their planning and delivery on the day.

Principal's attendance breakfast

Thank you to the staff who helped me acknowledge the attendance achievements of students in Term 2.  The pancake breakfast was once again very well received.  The morning was chilly so it was very pleasant working at the BBQ.  

Please do not worry if your child did not make the target this term.  It has been very difficult with so much illness about.  We start again in Term 3 with 49 school days and a target of 95%.             

Report cards have been sent home

Report cards were emailed home on Thursday.  From time to time, they can pop up in junk so please check there if you have not received one for your child.  

Being good at learning takes different amounts of time for different children.  The key to being a good learner is effort.  Please value your child's effort grades as much as their academic progress.  Effort represents their work ethic and it is vital to success.

A kind donation

William and Liam's mum Lisa has been very kind to donate a book called Remember Triple Zero Heroes to our library.  Lisa is featured as an illustrator in the book.  The book is signed by the author and each of the illustrators.  Lisa visited this week to read the story to the classes and we managed to capture a few photos.  Thank you to Lisa (& William) for the kind donation.
