To our community,

Welcome to our Newsletter. I would first like to acknowledge the students who recently participated in the inter-primary school cross country held at Bayview Secondary College. Through the sleeting rain and wind, they represented themselves, our school and everything our wonderful community stands for. Well done team on your effort and achievement on the day.

Throughout this term we have experienced a significant change in weather moving from the beautiful colours and sunshine of Autumn into the darker, colder months of Winter. With this transition also comes a transition from our summer uniform into warmer clothes of navy-blue pants and navy-blue jumpers. The wearing of our colours is so important for our students to feel connected to their peers and the school community.

This term our amazing teachers have focused on having our students improve their writing. It has been a pleasure to see so many students taking pride in their work and showing off their achievements. Whether this be an amazing information text on countries close to Australia or an imitation of a children’s story such as The Little Red Hen.

It is full steam ahead into the last few weeks of term two. Students are busily working to show their full understanding and knowledge whilst our teachers are assessing their work for the evidence required to achieve at grade standard or above. This evidence will be used to support the writing of students’ mid-year reports which will be sent home on 25 June, with parent teacher meetings being held in the last week of this term.

Have a wonderful week and as always if you need to have a chat or would like to discuss how your child is travelling then make a time to come in and see us,

James Milne, Assistant Principal
