Principals Report
A busy, productive and positive term is quickly coming to an end. It has been great to see the number of parents who have made the effort to come in for parent/ teacher discussions. Feedback from teachers is that these meetings have been very useful in providing support for students in their learning journey. If you have yet been unable to meet with your child’s teacher, please organise a time with them to have this discussion. Our team here are very flexible and always willing to adapt to ensure they can meet with you – so it is not too late. Arrange a meeting today.
Students, staff and invited guests had a great afternoon on Tuesday at the Walk ‘n’ Talk Track Project official opening. Thank you to mayor Teeny Brumby for attending and cutting the ribbon to officially open the Walk ‘n’ Talk track. Classes got the opportunity to walk the track and see not only the signs their classes had created but the signs of other classes. A huge thank you to Miss Alison Luck and Mrs Shandel Pile for being the driving forces behind this project. Jules Raimondo and the Burnie Mens’ Shed, Shandel’s family, Communities for Children, Christina Schleich and Charna Corona for organising the First Nation’s contribution and Kate MacIlfatrick for her support in ensuring people with hearing impairment were also represented. And, for his musical entertainment at the ‘Listen’ post – a NOTEworthy thank you to Mr David Turner – he never fails to make us sing and dance.
Continuing on with all the thank yous – this one is for all those parents who helped their children bring their Lego creations in to be judged for possible entry to Brixhibition in Ulverstone during the holidays. Some of photos of the amazing creations are included in this newsletter. Congratulations to Winter Barnard, Addison McLaren and Kalahni Ditcham who were our age group winners and Lochlan Roy who was the overall winner. We wish Lochlan all the best when he represents our school at Brixhibition.
Next term, Mrs Fenton will be taking some Long Service Leave and travelling Australia. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mrs Fenton for her work with our school and wish her all the best for an enjoyable trip.
Finally, I would like to thank all our fabulous staff who have worked, in their consistently dedicated manner, this term to make sure our students are safe, happy and learning - it has been a busy term and I hope everyone has a good break and returns for an exciting Term 3.
