DIARY DATES

Welcome back everyone, I hope everyone

enjoyed their holidays and you are all

having a wonderful start to the new year.

The students have all had a great first week

back and are really settled in their new

classrooms. We are very excited to

welcome Freya, Jayden, Callan, Fletcher,

Ruby and Mila to our school this year and

we are looking forward to seeing the

progress they make over the year.

We are also welcoming to our school this

year Kelly Robinson and Aisha Cooper. Kelly

will be teaching the Junior Primary Class and

Aisha will be fulltime in the Upper Primary

Class. We are excited to be running three

classes this year for literacy and numeracy

and these classes will be up and running

next week. Classes will be split R-2, 3-5 and

6/7. This will be a great opportunity for

students to have much smaller class sizes

for explicit teaching of literacy and

numeracy and highly individualised, and

targeted teaching and learning programs.

Next week Kelly, myself and Aisha will be

involved in two days of professional

development at Cummins Area School (6th

and 7th). This year the Central Eyre

Partnership schools are working together on

a maths project that aims to create lessons

for students that focus on problem solving

that are responsive to students needs.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Meet

and Greet next Thursday afternoon. Have a

good week.

Ashleigh.

RESILIENCE RESPECT ACHIEVEMENT INTEGRITY

This week we welcomed baby Elke with her mum Lauren

and brother Calen to Playcentre and congratulations to

Sdhar, Eddie and Lunar on the birth of their son and

brother Kota, born on Monday.

It was awesome to see our new toilet building completed

and ready for use this week. Richwood Constructions did a

superb job.

Next week Tammy and Nicola will be our afternoon help-

ers, followed by Eden and Richelle in week 3 Sophie and

Jen in week 4. We will decide our direction for the term

at the meeting next Monday night where I will share my

professional development learning with you all. I think

there are some exciting changes ahead for our early child-

hood setting and I can’t wait to get you thinking!

“New Beginnings”

Parent Meeting to

share new learning and

future directions.
