Holy Trinity Primary Granville

Dear Parents and Friends,

As you would be aware, our Semester Two Student Learning Reports will be distributed shortly. These reports give parents and carers an important insight as to how each child is progressing and assist teachers when planning learning tasks. When preparing these reports, teachers employ a variety of assessment strategies  and observations to provide an accurate report.  

MAI Testing 2020

On Monday a note will go home with instructions on how to book a Mathematical Assessment Interview on either Tuesday January 28 or Wednesday January 29. These interviews are essential and need to be completed. Each interview will take about 40mins. The interviews will be conducted by the classroom teachers and you need to book with the teacher your child will have in 2020. Therefore, if your child is currently in Year One (2019) then you will need to book with the Year 2 teacher. Each learning space will also have a support teacher who will also be conducting MAIs. They will be identified as a Stage teacher. They will be able to conduct the MAI on both classes within the stage. E.g. Stage One teacher will be able to interview both Year 1 and year 2 children.

We are happy to announce that Leila will continue to serve the families at Holy Trinity. Over the past weeks as per the CEDP guidelines the canteen needed to go to tender and Healthy Harvest was still the best option for our school. Congratulations Leila.

End of Year/Advent Events

This Sunday marks the beginning of Advent and there will be many opportunities at Holy Trinity for the children and their families to celebrate a happy and holy Christmas.

Monday 16th December: Whole school Fun Day. In the morning the students will be going to the movies to watch ‘The Queen’s Corgi’. When the children return to school, we will be having a Family Nativity Scene making afternoon. We would like to invite parents, carers and grandparents to join their children. We will also be inviting students from Delany who have brothers or sisters at our school to join us. We ask that all students bring in shoe boxes or other small boxes for this activity.

School fee arrangements will be now coming to a close in the next few weeks.

Fees not on an arrangement, need to be finalised by December 11, 2019. Thank you.

10 school weeks in writing must be given to the principal before removal of a student or a full term’s fees will be payable. 

This requirement is in recognition by the family of the commitment to assist funding of the School by having their child take a place that could have been offered to another family.

If your child turns 5 by 31st July 2020, they should enrol for school for next year. Please collect an enrolment package from the school office and return the completed forms with all the required documentation now.

The area outside the front office entrance to Holy Trinity is a  No Parking Zone on School Days from:

                                                    8.00am - 9.30am and 2.30pm - 4.00pm

• This means that you must not stop for more than two (2) minutes.
• You must remain in or within three metres of the vehicle. 

Congratulations to the following students who celebrate their birthday in December:
