Dear Parents and Carers,
UNIFORM REMINDER:
As we approach the middle of the term and the cooler weather, please ensure that your children are now dressed appropriately. This means that we should not be seeing any girls (Yrs 1-6) in short white socks with their dress. From now on, they should be wearing either NAVY tights or knee length NAVY socks, with the red stripes. Boys should be in long navy trousers. Everyone needs a formal blue jumper to wear on the days that the Sports Uniform is NOT worn. The zip-up spray jacket is usually worn as part of the sports uniform. Thank you for assisting us with maintaining a good, consistent standard of uniform.
WELLNESS WEEK:
Next week is Wellness Week. As we did in Term One, across the school we will have a few simple activities during the week to encourage students, parents and teachers to be mindful of our health: our physical, social, emotional and spiritual health.
Parents, please be on the look out for a notification each day next week for an activity for yourself or something to do as a family. These will be simple tips or activities that will help you be mindful of your health and wellness and give a simple example of something you can do to support wellness at home.
We will once again be having a shared picnic lunch. This will be on Thursday 30th. This was well received by the students and staff last term and celebrates the community that we are. We are once again going to try and go zero waste or package free to decrease our rubbish, in gratitude to our beautiful earth. If possible, on this day when packing lunch, be mindful of how to send a lunch that has less packaging. Every little bit of plastic wrap that we do not use, is a benefit.
After the picnic we will also be offering a variety of different simple games and fun activities for the students to play together across year levels and learn from each other.
If you have any feedback or suggestions as to what we can do for Wellness Week later in the term, please contact the WELLBeing Team, via the school office. We thank you for your support of this initiative.
BEFORE SCHOOL:
Please be mindful that there is NO SUPERVISION prior to 8:05am each school day. It has been disappointing and concerning to see the number of students arriving prior to 7:45am. Any student arriving early will be expected to sit close to the main school door and will be asked to bring a book to read. No iPads or handballs, games etc are allowed at that time.
