Another amazing week has been completed in the Senior Unit with a terrific assembly to begin the week and a tremendous family night to close!
Thanks to the ever ready students for their flexibility to deliver a timely message of encouragement to all in attendance about the uniqueness of each person. Hooray For Kids! The family night saw some good aims soak Mr Semmler, with perhaps the most memorable seeing one student score three out of three hits - one left, one middle and one right!
Together with Mr Wundersitz and Mrs Kreymborg, we are seeking volunteers for Gardening on Tuesdays and Kitchen on Wednesdays to assist on a weekly basis. If you can assist please contact your child's teacher. Thankyou.
We are expecting the return of Canberra Committment forms by Friday of this week please.

Performance Appraisal for
Professional Development: A Process for
Principals of Lutheran Schools.
- Appraisal
is an important part of quality management as it allows strengths to be
affirmed and areas of concern to be addressed. All Lutheran school
principals undertake such reviews every three years and in the coming
weeks we will be going through the process for our Principal, Daryl Trigg.
- The
survey will be administered by the Lutheran Education SA/NT/WA. The
survey will be an on-line survey in which all families can participate,
forwarded by email, and the results will be anonymous. Your support
of this process will be greatly appreciated and if you have any questions
please don’t hesitate to raise them.
