I really can't believe that we are in our last week for the year, 2 and half more days to go. I just want to say thank you  for all the support you have given to help your child with their learning. The children this year have been an amazing bunch of children and I have absolutely enjoyed every moment with them! I am quite saddened that I will not get any of you again next year. I am sure that whoever you have next year will be just as good! 
I wish you all a safe and happy christmas and a restful and well deserved holiday!

We have swimming on all week, so please make sure you bring your swimming gear in.

Monday: Library. No more issuing as Mrs O'Leary needs to do a stocktake.  So could all books be returned immediately.

REMINDERS FOR PARENTS

This week the school is hosting some community meetings.  The discussion will be on some aspects of our Charter and planned E-learning developments for the school for next year.  The meetings will be held in Room 15 and are scheduled for:

Wednesday 20 November         

General Meeting     3.15 pm

Anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits. The same content will be presented at each meeting. It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting -  particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3.  This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).
