Principal’s Report

Hard to believe we are in week 5 already and that this week-

end is the mid-term break.

Thank you to the parents who took the opportunity to attend

the school planning and information meetings last week, I

hope they were informative.

Included in this newsletter are 2 pages outlining the new

School’s Excellence Framework.

Please take the time to read these information sheets; this

reform will be spoken about in more detail at the next parent

information meetings to be held on the 30th and 31st March.

Congratulations to all of our students who made it to the

regional swimming carnival. We wish you all the best and

hope you can progress to the next level.

Enjoy the mid-term break.

Congratulations to the new SRC and

Sporting House Representatives for

2016.

Look who has been spotted this week;

Ella from KM has been spotted by Ernie for

being a responsible class member. She has

been seen using equipment for its purpose in

the classroom and staying in bounds in the

playground. Ernie is proud of Ella and

thinks she should keep up the great

work.

Ernie is super proud of Coen. Ernie overheard

Coen speaking politely to the teachers who

were on playground duty in the quad. Ernie is

also proud of the way Coen looks after the

school’s equipment.Keep up the fantastic

work Coen!

Ernie has visited 4/5/6S many times this term

and each time he visits he is super impressed

with Tiana Jones who is always working to the

best of her ability. Ernie could not stop laughing

after reading Tiana's version of Little Red Riding

Hood, Ernie thinks it was a creative spin off

from the original story. Well done Tiana!

Keep up the great work.

Missing / Lost Student School Hats

Could parents please check your child’s school bag to see if a school hat was taken home by

mistake.

If this has occurred, could you please return the hat to the Admin. office and we will return

the hat to the owner if it has their name marked on it.

Thank you very much.
