Term 1, Week 3 - February 13-17

Hi all,

For those of you who made it to last week's assembly to see Room 5 lead the proceedings, you may have noticed how capable our young people are.  At the beginning of the week I left the job of completing the slide show presentation to 4 girls and they did a fantastic job.  The independence, skill development and confidence that comes from taking on a project, working on it towards a deadline, and presenting a finished product is a skill to be valued and celebrated.  A big thank you from me to everyone who contributed from Room 5 to make our Assembly a success (a fun success!).

This Week
BYOD and Technology Agreement:  For those of you who did not attend the parent teacher meeting, your child will be bringing home a contract to be signed by parent and child regarding the use of technology at school.  Please read this through together with your child and return to school by Friday of this week.  If a child does not work within the guidelines of the contract they will lose the use of the school's/their own device for 2 weeks and parents will be notified of this.

Swimming
Swimming is on Tuesday and Thursday this week - please bring all gear and ensure a water bottle is packed especially on these days - the children get thirsty and tired after a big swim.  Thursday, in particular as we walk to and from the pool on this day instead of taking the bus.

Parish Mass

Wednesday 15th of Feb, 9am - Please come and join the whole school for mass. 

SCHOOL MASS

This Sunday the 19th there is a school mass.  Please have your child come along in uniform and bring a plate for morning tea or an item for the Food Bank.  Mass starts at 9am. 

Homework

Homework this week will be 20 minutes of reading each night, spelling words to be tested on Friday, Study Ladder (students will be given their username and passwords tomorrow) and/or a maths worksheet.  

Have a great week,

Mrs Lyon.
