Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Congratulations on a very successful 10 days of home programs.  Many of our young learners are in effective routines and are impressing their teachers.  

We have sent home two notifications across the past two weeks regarding coronavirus testing.  Both tests have returned with negative results.  The new testing requirements surrounding schools will result in more tests being conducted as a precaution. I will inform our community each time.  

Home program tips (Important job)

We are about to move into Week 3 of our home programs and the iTunes U program will need to be refreshed.  It is really easy to do.  Simply close and open the app again.  This will refresh the program and the new content for Weeks 3&4 will be activated.  Please contact your child's teacher if you need a hand.

Feedback

Teachers have been very hard at work providing feedback to students on their submitted pieces of work.  The requirements for teachers are to ensure that they provide two pieces of feedback to children each week.  But teachers are providing a lot more than this.  Teachers are sending written comments and some are now utilising verbal comments as well.  Please read the feedback with your children and use it for further development.  

Parent survey

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback via the parent survey last week.  The results have been collated and we will share the information next week.  

ANZAC Day commemorations 

The community spirit shown with commemorating ANZAC Day last Saturday was incredible.  The photos sent to us were sensational.  I get the feeling that 'lighting up the dawn' might just become a new Australian tradition - if the success of this year is anything to go by.  Click here to see our Facebook montage .
