Congratulations to our student leaders for their wonderful hosting of our first face-to-face assembly this year! It was wonderful to have all our students together and be able to address the school as a whole. Thank you to the P&C for supporting our award winners with a morning tea for them and their parents/carers. Next week we have the fantastic Room 3 who will be presenting an item.
This week we have started NAPLAN and I was extremely proud of our Year 3 and 5 students as I observed them participating in their online tests. Their relaxed and positive approach to the assessments and the technology, to this snapshot of their learning, was exactly what was needed. Our experience with the online technology at Newman Primary was extremely positive and relatively glitch free. Huge thanks to Mrs Grainger and Miss Cook for the test administration and to Mr Kilburn for the preparation of our ICT so our students could have such a successful experience.
Please assist us by informing the school if your child is unwell and not able to come to school. If it is an extended absence due to a necessary, trip away please make an appointment to discuss. Holidays and travel are regarded by the Department as unauthorised absences. Although we don’t wish unwell students to come to school as viruses can be easily spread, everyday matters.
COVID is continuing to impact our school and our current operating guidelines are below in this newsletter. Staff absences and the fact that we have no relief teachers in town has resulted in some flexible timetabling. While COVID is disrupting attendance, teachers and staff have continued to provide engaging and relevant educational programs to students.
As the weather cools, the mornings at school can be a bit chilly with the breeze. I encourage all families to purchase a school jumper from Sports Power as described in our uniform policy. If another jumper is needed in the interim, a mostly plain black jumper is the most suitable. We thank you for your support.
