Principal's Report
As Term 1 2021 comes to a close, I have taken time to reflect on some substantial achievements and highlights that have taken place across the term. Whilst we are still COVID 19 aware, many of our school activities have returned in some capacity.
This has included:
- Acquaintance Night
- Re-establishing school values- Effort, Respect and Responsibility
- AGM
- Boardies Day
- Aboriginal Cricket Clinics and Carnival
- Shark Cup Baseball/Softball
- Harmony Day
- Year 6/7 Le Fevre HS Visit
- SAPSASA District Athletics and Swimming Carnivals
- SAPSASA Softball Championships
Farewell
I would like to acknowledge Kellie Campbell, who has been our one of our valuable SSO’s. Kellie has taken the opportunity to accept an SSO position until the end of the year at Ocean View College. Kellie has worked with a large number of our students over the past three years.
Belinda Fabian-Foster will also be finishing at the end of the term. Belinda has been a long time SSO in our Library. She will continue at North Haven School. Her commitment to managing our library and purchasing resources to support our teachers and students will be missed.
On behalf of the staff, I would like to thank Kellie and Belinda for their dedication and commitment and we wish them all the best for the future.
NAPLAN
A reminder that NAPLAN testing will take place during Weeks 3 & 4 of Term 2. Please see previous newsletter for further details in regards to exemptions and withdrawals.
Reports & Parent/Teacher Interviews
End of Semester reports will be distributed to students on Friday 18th June. Parent/Teacher interviews will follow this in week 9 of Term 2. If you have any concerns about the learning of your child, please make arrangements to meet with the classroom teacher early in Term 2.
Term 1 Outstanding Attendance Award
This term, there were 58 children who attended school every day. Congratulations to all of them. We could only have one winner and that student was Alivia from Room 11.
As the winner, Alivia received an Outstanding Attendance Certificate at today's assembly and a voucher from Ink Espresso.
An excellent effort!
