A Message from the Principal

EASTER FUN & UPCOMING HOLIDAYS

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break with family and friends and enjoyed the good weather we had.  Students arrived back at school with stories of Easter egg hunts and the Easter bunny finding them as well as eating yummy chocolate eggs.  Next week is our last week of school for term 1, then we will have a break of 2 weeks on holidays.

DEVONPORT MEN'S PROBUS CLUB - THANK YOU

This week our in our assembly we had a special guest join us. 
Jon Holmes from the Devonport Men’s Probus Club attended to give us some ANZAC Day books that were purchased for us by the organisation.  This was a very generous gesture and a very welcome donation.  On behalf of the school, I would like to thank Jon and the Devonport Men’s Probus Club for the books and I am sure the students will put them to good use reading them and using them to further their understandings of the importance of commemorating our ANZACs.

SRC - LIBRARY FUNDRAISER

The SRC will hold a sausage sizzle next week to raise money for some more fiction books in our school library.  Whilst we do have some school funds to use it is always great to have more money to spend!  Thank you to our families for supporting this cause and to the SRC for being active in your student leadership roles to make our school a better place. 

KINDER - YEAR 2 HOME READING SURVEY

Next term we intend on offering sessions to families on ways to help children to improve their reading skills outside of school.  We would very much like to try and fit with the needs of families, therefore a survey has been sent out via our app to ask what time would best suit families to attend.  We want these session to be fun, easy going, interactive and not stressful at all!  Reading is a skill that opens many doors in life, please join us as we work together to support our young people.
