Welcome to 2018 :)

We start back 2018 on Wednesday the 7th of February.   In your child's report there would have been information about stationery.  I have always found it really easy to order from Office Max, the best bit is that the school also benefits from your purchase.  You can order online once you know your child's class and specify a delivery date.  The order will arrive to your door in time for school, all ready to go.  It couldn't be easier.  Best bit...you miss those back to school crowds. Website here Parents of new entrant children can purchase their pack from the office.  If your child started school last year and is returning to Room 1 and 2 there is no need to purchase any more stationery.  

Our beach trip is the 21st of February, please put this date in your diary because we will need your help to get there and assist with supervision.  Permission slips will come home in that first week and will need to be returned quickly as there will be a short turn around for our organisation.

 At this stage our parent information evening (which replaces the classic parent interview) will be held on the 1st of March.  Basically this evening will be a time to catch up informally with your child's teacher, talk about how they have settled and share with us anything you want us to know and ask any questions you need to ask.  There will be no interview time as such, but teachers will be available between 3.10pm - 6.30pm in their classrooms.  All rooms will be open, so you can wander through, and meet other teachers.  We plan to have a sausage sizzle going and the BOT will be in the library, or just outside the library cooking the BBQ so you can talk to them about any questions, ideas or queries you have.  They will also have some specific things they would like to know from you.
 We are hoping this will make this process a lot more useful for you and more of an opportunity to get together as a community.  Of course if you have something important that you need to discuss with your child's teacher you are welcome to make an appointment for anytime that suits both of you at any stage in the year.

The school office will be open from the 30th of January for anyone needing any back to school assistance.
