Hello again everyone, we are all looking anxiously at the weather forecast in preparation for our Mini Fair on Friday. If the weather is wet, we can certainly organise things in different locations; the jumping castles are the only things we may have to be without. Either way, I know there will be many happy students and tired teachers. Thank you to the few parents who have offered to help with the stalls and activities. It’s one of those days where we do need extra hands
I also want to remind everyone about our pupil free days this term:
• Monday 31st October is a report writing day for teachers, so students do not attend.
• Tuesday 1stNovemberis of course a public holiday
• Monday 21st November has been allocated as a “professional practice” day.
They will be looking at our planning for 2023 and finalising any assessments before reports are completed. This is a good time to remind you to let me know if there is anything I should know about placement for your child/children in classes next year. Thank you to those who have already done so.

Welcome back to term 4! I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break. It’s hard to believe we are already at the beginning of the final term of 2022. Helen has returned from her well-deserved holiday, and I will resume the role of Assistant Principal, so this will be my final newsletter.
Term 4 is always a busy term with so much happening around the school. We have an Art Show, Mini- Fair, swimming for Foundation to Year 2, excursions, incursions, Prep transition program and we will be farewelling our Year 6 students with a graduation ceremony. Teachers will also be very busy with assessment and report writing.
Transitioning to 2023
It is that time of the year where we start preparing for the organisation of grade placements for 2023. This is always a tricky process as multiple considerations must be made to ensure that all of our students are placed in an environment that will best support their learning needs. As such this does need to be a collaborative process where students, parents and staff combine their collective knowledge to ensure success.
If you are aware of any families who live in our local area that have not yet enrolled their child could you please let them know they need to do so as soon as possible. We are all looking forward to meeting our new preps and their families in the coming weeks.
