YOUNG HEARTS, BRIGHT MINDS, STRONG FUTURE

Principal’s Spiel

Hello Parents & Guardians,

I write this missive on behalf of

Mr Watson, who is out of the school at the

moment and returns on Tuesday.

Well here we are, half way through Term

one already. Students have returned this

week from their short Cyclone Lam

enforced break and have all been hard at

work. The school itself has suffered no

significant damage.

As part of teachers’ “toolkit”, DoE supplies

each teacher with a laptop. Teachers this

week have begun receiving their new one.

The fortunate part of this program for

the school and students in general is that

the school gets to keep the older ones.

The intention is, in turn to upgrade these

to replace older slow computer

attached to Smartboards or replace older

desktops in classrooms.

Whilst this newsletter is sent out

Thursday, I would like to thank the East

Arnhem Blues Society / Toy Run for their

donation of $4,500 to our Learning Centre.

Dan Wagg is presenting the cheque at our

whole school assembly this week

(tomorrow) on behalf of EABS.

Our Elective program for student

from Year2 to Year6 starts this week

of a Friday afternoon. A wide variety

of activities are on offer to the

students from sports such as golf and

footy, to cooking, to “magic” card

tricks, to “Man versus Wild”. Thanks

to Mrs Blundell for taking on the

organisation of this and the Yr2-6

teachers for teaching/sharing their

specials skills.

Regards

Michael Sandford

Assistant Principal

On wet weather days all children and staff need to take extra care when moving around the verandas and the covered areas especially the hall.

On a moderate wet day children will spend their recess and lunch breaks outside, but under cover and under teacher supervision. Access to the

library and the computer lab is

available.

On extreme wet days children will remain in their classrooms at recess and/or lunch breaks. Teachers will buddy classes for these breaks so they can have some release. Children will be provided with activities.

Please talk to your child about being safe in wet weather at school and our expectations of their good behaviour when there is a change of routine.

Beverley Hulme

Assistant Principal

Wet Weather Routines

Reminder— Do not Park in the

Stop, Drop & Go Zone Thank you.
