We come to the final newsletter of the term – yay – happy dance!!!!
It has been a real busy term as is always the case with Term 3! We have survived and thrived !
Here is a summary of my Governing Council report which was presented last week:
Wellbeing
We continue to work tirelessly in this area to ensure that our students are ready to learn and feeling supported. We are running a Seasons for Growth program with the Year 2s focusing on change and growth in all aspects of life, how this makes us feel and how to respond. Students are embracing this program and learning lots. Well done Kylie Heinrich!
Staff have been discussing their wellbeing and it is important for me to ensure that they feel supported and not overwhelmed. With this in mind we have made the decision to move the school concert Christmas concert to bennial event. We will hold the Christmas concert in odd years which means there will be no Christmas concert this year. Although a wonderful experience, Term 4 is also a busy time with graduation, Kindy and High School transition, end of year reports, excursions, JP sleepover, planning for the following year, and so on. Thus, we hope that you will understand and support this decision. Council and Fundraising is looking into a smaller event that can be held on concert years' year off.
Equity and Excellence
Please pop into the school or check out Facebook/this newsletter to have a look at the second stage of our mural development. Scott Rathman was in this week to complete it up on the deck. Our 3/4 cohort were involved in a workshop last term on what they would like to be represented in a mural and the thinking is:
"Our school is a learning community where we all go on a learning journey together. Every day we discover new things, like Reading, Maths and Science. Our teachers guide us and we help each other. We are all important, and we grow and learn side by side on this exciting adventure"
These two murals on the side of the deck building represent the thoughts of students from years 3 to 6 as well as those students are now in year 7 at High School. We will continue to beautify our school with other artwork. If you have any ideas/ suggestions please feel free to let us know.
