FORWARD DATES
Term 1
COVID UPDATE
Just when the students were settling back in to school routine we have had
another lockdown. Like everyone else we are eagerly awaiting the Premier’s
announcement as to when students can return to school. We have left the
remote and flexible learning as a ‘light touch’ for this week. If lockdown
continues next week we will commence more formal learning on Google
Meets. Obviously we are hoping to have all students back this Thursday.
Last year demonstrated what a resilient community we are. If we need to
go back to remote and flexible learning I know that we can successfully
achieve this!
PARENT’S ASSOCIATION AGM
The Parent’s Association Annual General Meeting that was to be held in the
staffroom on Monday 15th of February at 9:15 am has been postponed. I
am not prepared to reschedule until we have further information in relation
to the current lockdown.
SCHOOL COUNCIL
Our last School Council meeting with the current School Council is next
Wednesday at 6pm. This will go ahead. We will determine whether this is a
zoom meeting or in person as it gets closer.
ASSEMBLY
The whole school assembly was called off at the last minute last week.
Thank you to everyone for being so understanding. We are super keen to
have this assembly as soon as possible so that we can give out our grade six
leadership badges.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE
Parent teacher conferences were meant to take place this week. These will
now be on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd of March. We are waiting to
confirm if these will be in person or remote.

SENIOR SCHOOL CAMP
The Senior School camp went ahead last week. I spoke to several students and they loved it! I really
enjoyed reading some of their written responses about camp highlights. A huge thank you to Mrs
Sibly and Miss Pohlner for organising the camp and to all of the staff for giving up their time after
hours.
PRINCIPAL HIGHLIGHT
There is no doubt that the highlight of my day is always when students are sent up to my office to
share their great work with me. This can be some writing, reading a story, art or maths. I will drop
almost anything to listen to these students and share a sticker or two. Last week I was so impressed
with the standard of the work that the children were sharing. There is some awesome teaching and
learning taking place at our school.
