A new term is a fresh opportunity to reflect upon our goals and to continue to strive to be the best we can be. We have discussed this in class and students have completed a sheet with their goals (academic and behaviour).

We appreciate your continued support in helping your child to be ready to begin each new day of learning by being well fed, well rested, well resourced and on time. Please ensure that homework is also being completed in full with reading and tables being done on a regular basis. We look forward to another productive term of academic, social and emotional learning with your children.

As always, feel free to email or contact us via the school office should you have any queries or concerns.
