Principal’s News Tuesday, 20 March 2012

Thank you to our wonderful community for their support and generosity last Thursday at our school fete.Last week was a particularly challenging and sad one for us and the fete helped to give our students a positive and fun event to focus on. It also helped our community to come together to talk and support each other. It gave parents a chance to reflect on how precious children are, and how happy memories are made and treasured.

Although we have not finalized the accounts yet it would appear that the fete was an outstanding success. Once again thank you for your support, especially the dedicated parents and staff members who spent many hours preparing for this event.

Parent Teacher InterviewsAll teachers will be conducting "3 way interviews" during the coming weeks. This is part of our reporting to parents process where the teacher, student and parent meet to discuss the educational program/progress of the student. This is a collaborative meeting and one that we look forward to sharing with you. Parents may also make appointments at any time to speak to the teachers about a student's progress.

Coming EventsDon't forget that at this Thursday's assembly our major fete raffle tickets will be drawn. If you have not yet returned your tickets please do so by Thursday morning at the very latest. Mrs Takacs's class will be leading the assembly.

Sue Lowe, Principal
