Dear Parents / Caregivers

Week Three Already!

By now, all classes have been formed and are now very settled which is fantastic. All students and staff have been working well to establish routines and learning timetables.

Playground Play

With nearly three weeks down, we have gathered positive feedback about the split lunch times. Staff are working closely with students to further develop play, social skills and new friendships.

P&C Special Meeting

On Thursday, 13th February a special P&C meeting was held to vote for or against its dissolution. After counting the votes the P&C were not in favour of a dissolution.

At this stage, we cannot program an AGM (Annual General Meeting) until certain requirements are followed.

At this same meeting, it was decided that another group would like to be formed. More information to follow regarding this.

Little Free Library

Our brand new library will be operating from Monday 17th February. The library will be outside the community room before after school each day.

Parents and carers are welcome to come along and choose a book with their child to take home and share. Books can be returned when finished and swapped for another great story.

Enjoy reading!! 

Yours in education,

Janine Macky

There are many benefits your child will gain from arriving on time to school. Arriving on time ensures your child doesn’t miss out on the important learning activities that happen early in the day when they are most alert, it helps them learn about routines and commitment, and it makes children feel good about themselves! 

This term we continue to make it exciting to arrive on time. Every child who is in line, on time, by 9 will receive a ticket to go into the weekly and end of term draw for some amazing prizes! But remember - they need to be in line, on time, by 9 if their name is drawn to receive the prize.

Please note that due to current weather conditions, all Council parks and sporting fields where sporting activities are conducted across Blacktown City are partially closed for all sports until

4 pm Tuesday 18 February. Some areas of the Blacktown LGA have received almost 300mm of rain in the past week.

           Please note that some outfields are saturated and have not been able to be mown and turf cricket pitches have not been rolled. Safety is the utmost priority to field users. Again, associations are required to assess  the suitability of the playing surface.

For other sports a decision on whether the venues will be reopened will be made by 12 noon on Monday 17 February.  

Council also provides the latest information on park and sporting field closures via;

·         Council’s website at www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au
