Principal’s messageWelcome back, I hope everyone had a lovely well-deserved break! Term 3 for students and staff started on Monday this week. Thank you to all parents for keeping your children at home on the last day of term while staff began the first of a series of professional development on Visible Learning. The next SDD/ Pupil Free Day will be at the end of this term, on Friday 25th September. Once again reminders and posters will go home to remind everyone closer to the date.

Students were straight back into lessons on Monday as term 3 began, hopefully it will be a great term of learning with little disruptions. Education Week is in Week 3. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions we will not be having our annual Open Day and Colour Fun Run, however, we will be putting together a video of all our busy classrooms to share with our parents/ carers via Facebook and on our website. The Children’s Book Council Awards and Book Week has been postponed until Term 4, hopefully, we’ll be able to have our annual scholastic bookfair then along with the Canowindra Community Reading Day.

Year 6 Peer Support Camp will be held next Friday 31st July at Moorbel Hall. Permission notes will be going home this week to all students. This is always a great camp with students learning lots of leadership and social skills. Peer Support will commence with the whole school in Week 3. This involves students from Kindergarten to Year 6 being grouped together in small groups and participating a range of activities each week.

Thank you to all the parents, teachers and students for participating in 3 Way Interviews last term. We were able to meet with 87% of our parents which was fantastic, and the general consensus was that the interviews were very positive and worthwhile. School reports will be going home at the end of this week and as discussed at the meetings, they are a summary of the semester encompassing student goals and progress in literacy and numeracy as we have been able to modify the reports due to COVID-19.

Term 3 here we come!

Have a great week.

Sharon Hawker
