Welcome back! This term we have planned our NAIDOC celebration for Friday 1 July in Federal Park. There will be a lot of great activities for all students to be part of, including two competitions. You should get notes home about a Poetry and Art competition very soon. Classroom teachers will support their students to submit entries. Of course, families may wish to complete their entry at home.
Reminder that parent/teacher interviews have been rescheduled to next week. This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your child's teacher about how they are travelling. Don't leave it until you're upset or very worried before contacting us. Many parents/carers have concerns about COVID interruption and its impact on their child's educational progress. It's important to remember that since its outbreak two years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education systems globally. Here at Plattsburg we use the practice of differentiation where we look at individual students and plan for them at their point of need. We have analysed student progress data from last term and identified areas of need and areas of growth. Your classroom teacher will be able to talk to you about how we are responding to those needs. Of course, if you can't make the parent/teacher interviews you can contact the school for an interview at another time. We are happy to zoom and talk over the phone too. There is a lot you can do to contribute to your child's education and good communication with the school is the first step.
