The Pocket Public School Newsletter

We must say a huge thank you to our casual staff members for filling roles across our school.

We are very fortunate that we employed most of these staff at the beginning of the year to work with our class teachers to understand how their classes would run and the learning that would be provided.

If you have any queries regarding your child's class and their usual teacher is on leave please get in contact with Will Glasson.

We would also like to welcome Hannah May and Llama to our team. These two incredibly talented SLSOs (teachers aides) will be working in the 2/3 classroom Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Congratualtions to the students who qualified for the headlands swimming carnival last Wednesday. We had a brillaint day at Ballina pool.

From this carnival we have four children attending the regional carnival this Wednesday.

Congratulations to Levi (50m freestyle), Denny (Jnr relay, 50m freestyle, 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly), Niamh (snr relay) and Benson (jnr relay). We wish you the best of luck!

Rhianon will be holding an information session on home reading. This will be held on Thursday at 2:30pm in the pick up / drop off zone. Other parents are welcome to join.

Just a reminder to double check your child has a wide brimmed hat. All children need a hat to play outside during recess and lunch. If your child doesn't have a hat they need to play in the COLA.
