Year 3/4 excursion to Melbourne - Money and notes | OVERDUE |
K-2 School Swimming and Water Safety - Money and notes | Due Friday, 11 November 2022 |
Last week, I was lucky enough to attend a community event with our school leaders run by the Holbrook Landcare Network to discuss and raise awareness about our local waterway and co-create a campaign on waterway health, tailored to refreshing the Upper Billabong. I was amazed by the initiative and engagement of our school leaders in working with the Landcare Network to workshop specific actions to help care for our waterways.
Throughout this week our Year 3/4 students will be busy preparing for their excursion to Melbourne. Miss Morgan and Mr Leitch have been sharing maps and creating learning opportunities to build knowledge and familiarity for our students to support them on the excursion. I am really looking forward to attending the excursion with Mr Leitch, Miss Morgan, and Mrs de Steiger, and our Year 3/4 students. Attending overnight excursions is a learning experience for many of our students and families. We will keep parents and families updated through our communication apps Skoolbag and SENTRAL, so please make sure you have access to these apps prior to the excursion.
Sport
A big shout out to Mr Leitch and the K/O Cricket team. The weather has played havoc with our matches this term and I would like to thank the parents for being so flexible in getting the boys to the matches at such short notice. It was a great effort to make the Riverina Final.
Staffing Update
Mrs Henderson will soon be on maternity leave, and we wish her and her family all the best as they welcome a new member to their family. During Mrs Henderson’s absence, Mrs Megan Young will be teaching Year 2 till the end of the year. Mrs Young has already been teaching Year 2 one day a week this year and is familiar with the routines, structure, and learning of all students in year 2.
