Parents as Volunteers in our Classrooms
Thank you to all those parents who have been generously giving up their
time to volunteer in the classroom. An extra set of hands to help with tasks,
an extra ear, another person to assist and encourage a student and another
role model in our classroom. Both staff and students enjoy and value the
presence and support of our parents volunteering in our classrooms or around
our school.
There are a number of ways that you as parents can volunteer in the school. Perhaps you have a special tal-
ent or skill that you can share and teach. You may like to help with reading, during literacy or numeracy, in
art or PE. You may just wish to be present in your child’s classroom to share in their learning experience.
If you are interested in volunteering in the classroom or around the school please have a chat with your
child’s class teacher or Kathleen.
Yesterday the whole school was involved in a “Jump Off” as part of our participation in Jump Rope for Heart. We have some
amazingly talented skippers!

It’s Not Okay to be Away or Late. Being at school everyday helps to create happy, con-fident and positive children! Just a reminder to all parents that children need to be
at school everyday unless they are ill. Children who
are frequently late or absent from school find it more
difficult to learn routines and have to work hard to
catch up on their learning. Being at school everyday
also helps children to develop good friendship and
have positive experiences with their peers. Please
contact the school or send a note if your child has
been unwell and absent from school.
Have you been to the Ultranet lately to check out what’s new and exciting in your child’s schooling?
