I would like to acknowledge and farewell Mrs Stokes. Mrs Stokes has been a School Learning and Support Officer at Plattsburg PS for almost 2 decades. She has just this year been transferred to Waratah West PS and how lucky are they to have her! A keen gardener, Jodi brought that love into the lives of the students she worked with. Students were shown how to plant, water and wait for food to grow. Skilled in basketball training, time on the courts with Jodi was a favoured student activity and there were plenty of complaints if it didn’t run. Jodi taught sportsmanship, inclusivity and self-respect with that one round orange ball. Supporting learning in the classroom Jodi knew the kids, about their interests and gets results that meant improved reading and recall of number facts. Jodi expected good manners, persistence and teamwork and skillfully corralled students with humour, bargaining and kindness. Jodi made a difference and she will be missed.
The playground in Federal ParkThe playground in Federal Park is a great. We have been using it through the week as part of our Federal Park play to encourage kids to use the facilities responsibly and safely.We still have students unaccompanied in the morning and afternoon in the park. Please remind your child to go directly to school and directly home. The school does not supervise the park. Young students have been observed in the morning hearing the school bell then running blindly across the road to get to school.
The days have been extremely warm at Plattsy recently. It is as important as ever to ensure you pack a hat and a water bottle in your child's bag each day.
You can purchase a new school hat through our online uniform shop at Quickcliq.com.au or wear an old favourite from home.
