CURRICULUM DAY Term 2 Begins PA Meeting - 7.30pm School Tennis Trial Y1 Excursion to Coopers Settlement School Tours are held on Tuesdays at 9.30am Congratulations to the Active Travel team for planning and implementing such a wonderful Ride2School event last Friday. It was a successful and enjoyable event and fabulous to have so many students, teachers and parents actively travelling to school. Teachers and parents will be at all 3D walks tomorrow at 8.30am and will begin walking to school at 8.40am. Storytime will be conducted for pre school children tomorrow from 9am in the library; the theme is Easter. The Library Team and I look forward to a happy and engaging session. On Saturday, March 21, both the junior and senior choirs will perform at the Warrandyte Festival at 1.45pm on the stage at Stiggants Reserve. Thank you to Mrs Hunt and Mrs Bowen for their work in preparing the students for this performance. Ms Weatherburn will take place in the parade representing our school with the Warrandyte Community Bank. STAFF NEWS PRINCIPAL’S LETTER Mrs Hunt will be on leave from tomorrow and will return on May 5. The music program will be not operate while Mrs Hunt is on leave. STUDENT LEARNING COMMUNITY Next week the specialist program will be suspended and all teachers, class and specialists will work with their teams to evaluate the learning program for term one and plan the program for term two. The teachers look at their students’ achievements and use this information to plan the next level of learning activities in conjunction with the prescribed curriculum. I believe this is very important in supporting the continuous improvement of learning programs. Congratulations to the PA Fundraising Team led by Mrs Honan and Mrs Albers for the Welcome Back Picnic last Friday. It was a delightful evening and I enjoyed chatting with parents and students in such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. I especially enjoyed watching the children participating in the activities and catching up with their friends so joyfully. I was also pleased to see some of our senior students leading activities and would like to see this become an annual event at the beginning of each year. On Monday April 13 we will hold a Curriculum Day; students do not attend school on this day and teachers are involved in professional learning. The focus for the Curriculum Day is the teaching of reading. Our literacy Ballot papers for our School Council election were distributed to all families on Monday this week. The ballot closes at 4pm on Monday March 23.
