Dear Parents/Caregivers,

What a wonderful way for us to end term 3, a day of fun and activity out in the sunshine!

Sports Day

Thank you to everyone for your support of our Sports Day today. It was wonderful to see so much colour and all those smiling faces out in the sunshine.

A day like today only happens with many people do a great deal of work. So thank you to everyone.

I would, however, like to especially thank Aaron Charlton for all his work today and over the last term in preparation.

I would like to thank all the children for the way they conducted themselves today. They displayed our school values all day. Well Done.

And speaking of “well done”, here are the results for those who were not here:

Fair Play Award

Sports Day Champions

We took many photos on Sports Day but they are still in the camera so we will include them next term.

 Information From parents for 2023 Classes

Your child’s teachers know your child very well, however, we understand that sometimes parents have further considerations that they would like us to know when placing their child in a class for 2023.

Early next term we will be asking students to name five friends that they may wish to be with so that we can guarantee they will be with at least one of these. This will complement the very thorough process that we go through to ensure that we can best fit all our students into balanced classes.

To ensure equity we ask that all comments are in writing and in the format from the document which can be found on the link here.

We need to receive this document either handed to the front office or emailed to dl.1053.info@schools.sa.ed.au by Friday 28th October which is the end of week 2 next term.

Friday 28th October

Australia celebrates World Teacher’s Day on Friday 28th October. We will be acknowledging the great work done by our teachers, and all our staff, on this day. This date also happens to be our school disco night.

Pupil Free Day term 4 – Monday November 7th 

Governing Council has endorsed a Pupil Free Day for Monday November 7th, Week 4 in Term 4. This is for staff to undertake a brief but mandatory site hazard inspection and then moderate curriculum with colleagues in preparation for report writing. OSHC will be available for care on the day so please book in with Sally on 8381 7577 if you require care.

Term 4

We have many activities planned for term four as well as our great classroom programs. Look out for information from Wallis Sensei and Wallis Gray about a whole school Japanese Picnic planned for week 4. We have House 2 and our Year 6 students going on camps. There is a disco on Friday 28th October. We have transition visits for next year’s reception students and our year 6 students will have transition sessions in their 2023 school. Our year5/6 students have their aquatics program on a day in week 7. We have our whole school concert tentatively planned for 6pm on Wednesday 7th December. On Thursday 15th December we will have our year 6 graduation ceremony. More information is to follow.

Final words:

Over the school holidays there will be a skeleton staff in the front office. Should you have any queries please phone or email during this time. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 17th October.

Have a great break if you can!

With regards

Andrea Hayden

Principal
