Breaking News!!   Bus run for Immanuel

• Over the last weeks and months we’ve been investigating the feasibility of running a bus service in our local area before and after school.
• The great news is that this is indeed viable and will commence at the start of 2020. As much as possible it will be a ‘door to door’ service and the route will be from Immanuel through Willaston, Hewett, Hillier, Evanston Gardens, Evanston and back to Immanuel via Gawler East.
• In the coming period we will refine a timetable and share it with families who have indicated a desire to utilise this service. On our website you’ll see a tab entitled ‘Bus Service’ and that’s where we will be updating information as we have it.

2020 CLASS PLACEMENTS

• You will have seen the section in the newsletter last Friday inviting input from families around class placement for 2020.
• It is important to note that these are not ‘teacher requests’, rather information around learning needs that will help us place students for maximum success. We will have a large number of staff changes at the end of this year for a variety of reasons and we won’t know our staffing/class and grade teachers until quite late in the term.   
• We ask that any information is passed on by email to darylt@ilsg.sa.edu.au by Friday 1 November (week 3) and that you understand that those emails will be shared with other staff.
• If you are not returning to Immanuel in 2020 (other than moving into a secondary school) please be reminded that a terms notice is required. 

2020 MUSIC TUITION

• We have several music tutors who come to Immanuel each week and take students for one on one lessons (eg singing drums, guitar, piano, flute, violin & saxophone
• If you want to register your child’s interest for lessons in 2020, by complete a form and return it to the office or Mr Hueppauff (Music teacher)

• Students need to wear HATS when playing at recess & lunch, and during outside lesson time.
