GC Colour Run Fundraiser - Don't forget your white T-shirt! (and parents bring a towel for the car) | Thursday 14 April |
Early Dismissal at 2:10pm for last day of Term | Thursday 14 April |
What a great school we have! Earlier this week, our cleaner (Debbie) told me that a student had approached her at recess time and thanked her for cleaning their classroom every day. We have a new student who has been welcomed by her classmates with open arms (literally!). I saw another student offer his teddy to a class member who was crying. Yesterday, I saw a Year 6 girl helping a little Reception student who was upset because she couldn’t find her friends. These types of interactions happen every day at Greenock Primary School. Our students are kind and generous in their natures. Even when they do something wrong, as all kids occasionally do, our students have shown themselves to be honest and to have a genuine desire to make amends.
These positive values obviously come from home and are reinforced by the staff here at school. Working together as a school community is a real strength at Greenock Primary School and is not something we take for granted. All the staff know what a great school we have and appreciate the students we have the good fortune to work with. Tomorrow afternoon, we will have the opportunity to celebrate the end of the term with the kids, during the much anticipated Colour Run! Thanks to Courtney for all her organisation and to all the other parents who are volunteering tomorrow to help make this a truly memorable experience!
As the students head off for their holiday break, I wish them all a wonderful Easter. I hope it is filled with love and time spent with families (and, of course, chocolate). I hope everyone has a safe and restful school holidays, especially our hard working staff. While we have been relatively protected here at Greenock, the impacts of COVID have still been felt, adding to staff’s worries and workloads. I hope they all know how much they are appreciated by me and by the students. Our teachers and support staff all deserve a break and I hope they have a wonderful time over their school holidays.
See you all next term!
