Dear Families,

And they are off and running!  Over the past two weeks students have been improving their endurance, stamina and perseverance in preparation for Athletics Carnivals.   On Wednesday we held our Primary Athletics Carnival and were impressed by the wonderful courage demonstrated by our students who tried their hardest to make it to the finish line. Students made all of us so proud with their wonderful behaviour, great sportsmanship and have a go attitude.  It was great to have our families back with us attending the carnival and encouraging children to have a go! We thank Miss Prendergast for organising the carnival and the wonderful staff who supported the carnival. Our House Captains also stepped up to take on extra responsibilities during the event. What a team effort!  Miss Prendergast will send out information to families shortly in relation to those students who have been selected to participate in the SPSSA carnival on the 28 March.

Speaking of perseverance and persistence, our Grade 3 and 5 students commenced NAPLAN testing this week and again we have been very impressed with the courage students have shown whilst undertaking the tests.  Well done Grade 3 and 5 students!

Teachers are currently working on updating student Learning Plans. Learning Plan Conversations for students with Learning Plans will be held between Monday 27 March to Thursday 30 March from 3:00 to 4:30. Letters will be sent home shortly in relation to booking appointments with teachers.

I have had some enquiries about parents attending our Friday morning assemblies.  Next term we will be inviting parents of award recipients to attend.
