Week 8, Term 2 Update

Good afternoon all.

Wow, unbelievable that it is now only two weeks until the school holidays. We have had a really busy term with a lot happening.

Science Fair
These are now at the stage where students need to conduct their inquiries at home over the next 4 weeks. These are for our students to complete, parents are not expected to have to do any work. Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Weekly Sport
Unfortunately that was cancelled again today. We a really hoping that it is on next week!

Uniforms
We are noticing the standard of dress is dropping. A number of students are choosing to wear hoodies instead of school uniform. There are a number of girls wearing nail polish. We just need to sharpen this up a little. There is no issue with wearing a hoodie or jacket to and from school, but it is not appropriate to be worn in the classroom during the day.

Paid Union Meeting
Just a reminder that this is happening after lunch on Tuesday. We have 80% of the forms returned. We would really appreciate the rest so that we know what each student will be doing next Tuesday so that we are well staffed ready for those who are staying at school.

Farewell Katrina and Nora
A big farewell and thank you to Katrina Gilfoyle and Nora Niddery - our student teachers who have been with us for the past seven weeks. We have really appreciated their excellent input, support and enthusiasm. We REALLY appreciated the crepes and pancakes they made over the last two days! We wish them all the very best for their future teaching careers.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm. Fingers crossed sport will be on for those of you involved this weekend!

Warm regards,
Bruce, Karalee, Sandie, Darelle and Hayley
