WONDERFUL PROGRESS

During busy weeks and a busy year, it remains wonderful to be able to observe excellent student

progress. Fourth term is a time to reflect on the improvement shown over the course of a year of

learning and I am thrilled that students have made progress in their individual domains along the

learning journey.

With only a few weeks remaining of the 2015 school year which includes an intensive swimming

program, I am confident that students will continue to engage with learning activities and make the

most of all opportunities to

progress.

In Science, infants have shown how materials can change:

The white roses have changed colour by absorbing food colouring in the water and heating and cooling has resulted in making ‘frogs in a pond’ dessert. Mmmmmm!!!

INTENSIVE SWIMMING

From this coming Monday, 23 November our students will participate in 10 days of intensive

swimming. This vitally important program has proven very successful in previous years and once

again will be valuable for all students with many qualified swimming teachers employed allowing

small groups to meet individual students’ needs.

We will be travelling by bus with Makehams. The cost of the bus will be $35.00 per student for the

two weeks. The cost of pool entry will be $1.00 per day per student as the school is also paying a

$1.00 per student.

In case of any absences, please do not send full payments for swimming before the swimming

days. The full payment can be made at the end of the swimming program or families can

send along payments towards the total amount on any day during the program. The school

will distribute the amounts owing to families at the end of the ten sessions.

We will be leaving school at 12:40pm each day and returning to school by the end of the school

day ready for usual bus and home routines. The students’ lessons will be for an hour from 1:30pm

to 2:30pm.

Parents and caregivers are most welcome to accompany us on these days and in fact I encourage

you to do so, as the children like showing their skills to the parents and caregivers and it is good

for the parents and caregivers to observe improvement over the program. You are welcome to

come as many days as you like and there will be no extra charge for parents or caregivers.
