Dear Parents and Carers,
As I write my last report before returning back to the classroom I would like to thank everybody for your support during Matt’s absence. We welcome him back next week and I wonder if he has managed a tan in the balmy European Summer. I would like to congratulate the Foundation students who this week reach their first school milestone of 100 days at school. Stay tuned for some happy snaps next week.
Solar Grant
Macedon Primary School has been selected to participate in the Greener Government School’s Building Program to receive a 32kW solar power system. This will promote and assist us in achieving the Government’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050 by promoting environmental sustainability and use of renewable energy in our school. Installation of the panels will begin to take place next week. There will be some disruption while the panels are being installed with the main entrance to the school being inaccessible as well as the entrance near the library. While the works are in progress could families, please use the entrance near the sensory room to access the office.
Farmers’ Market - This Saturday
The Macedon Village Farmers’ Market will be setting up on the school basketball courts on Saturday 30th July between 8am and 1pm. Drop in, grab a coffee and support our local farmers and producers. Proceeds from the stall site fees go directly to the school to support school improvements and student programs.
Parent Teacher Meetings
On Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th of August we are holding parent teacher interviews. The 10 minute Face-to-face interviews will be held during the afternoon and into the evening on both days and will give you an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with their classroom teacher. We strongly advise that facemasks are worn. You will receive an email with the details and instructions about how to book an interview in our online system. For the first time in a long while, we are having face to face meetings in your child’s classroom.
Please find the Parent Teacher Interview dates and times below:
| F-2 | 3-6 |
Tuesday 9th August | 3:50pm – 7:00pm | 2:00pm – 5:30pm |
Wednesday 10th August | 2:00pm – 5:30pm | 3:50pm – 7:00pm |
Family Holidays
Many families are escaping the Macedon winter and travelling at the moment. It is important that you notify the office or your child’s class teacher if you are going on an extended holiday, so that an Absence Learning Plan can be completed. All of the teachers emails are available on the school's website under the "About" tab.
With Thanks
Karren Baker
(Acting Principal)
