Week 1 Term 3

Image result for welcome back images



It's term 3 and we are excited about the semester ahead! There have been a few changes to the timetable this term with students starting Languages Other Than English with Mrs. Siviour and PE with Mr. Cochrane on Tuesdays and Music with Mr. Heuppauff on Thursdays.
Today we spoke about uniform and the importance of wearing the correct items of uniform.
Sport uniform days remain the same: Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
Formal uniform days are also the same: Wednesday and Thursday.
We look forward to being a great example to the rest of the school with our uniform wearing.

Conference
On Friday Mr. Semmler and Mrs. Eckermann will be attending the Generation Next conference in the city. It is a conference designed to inform leaders about Mental Health and
Wellbeing of Young People.


Whole school reminders/updates:

Welcome back to Term 3 – we hope you had a great 3 week break and are now refreshed for some more learning experiences at school.

Punctuality
Just a reminder that the school day begins at 8.50am.  Students who arrive after this time need to be signed in at the front office.
If you child is absent on a day please let the office know via phone or email.
The school day ends at 3.25pm.  If you need to pick up early a note to your teacher in the morning is really helpful.   Please report to the school office first and sign your child out whilst your child is called to the office.
