Dear Families,

This fortnight we have celebrated the school house sports. Even with quite a few families away we were able to have many children compete. The day was delightful and it was such a joy being in the middle to journey around to see all the events.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Again, I ask that all parents be vigilant with their children interacting on social media platforms. Most platforms have an age limit of 13. Please see the attached guide for platform use and maintain close viewing of their interactions.

This week coming up our school is undergoing a “School Review”. This entails leaders from DOSCEL coming and interviewing all stake holders of the school, students, teachers, office staff, support staff and parents.

Alongside the interviewing process, teacher’s delivery of lessons, their understanding of High Impact Teaching Strategies and their use of the curriculum at children’s point of need are examined. The information they gather about our school will then be placed against the Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) standards.

We as a school then look at the next items we can do on the standards to improve our school.

Tuesday 29^th and Wednesday 30^th are the days when the reviewers are at the school.

Last Day of school.

On our last day with students this term, being Thursday April 7^th, the Stations of the Cross and our first Easter Bonnet Parade will be held on our oval. The 5/6 students have been organising the Religious celebrations and all children have an opportunity to create their own Easter bonnet at school. They do not have to use the one made at school for the parade if they would prefer to bring one from home.

We are hoping to encourage the community to gather with us having tea and coffee and the opportunity to chat.

Please enjoy the blessings of the long weekend,

See you all on Tuesday.

Anne-Marie Robb
