We hope you enjoyed a great summer with your family and are ready to begin the 2017 school year.

You may also like to take a look at the Information for Parents of Year 5 and 6 students put together by ACARA to get an idea of what your child will be doing this year.

One area that you may not be as familiar with is coding, which is part of the Digital Technologies curriculum. This image, from Sylvia Duckworth, explains a little about it.

We look forward to working with you in 2017. Here’s to a happy and successful 2017 where we all become the best version of ourselves 🙂

Last night my eldest daughter, Madii, had her first baby. This is my first grandchild.

We are over the moon to finally welcome Danni Jade to the world. (She was 12 days late)

Next term I will be taking Wednesdays off to help support Madii, and to get lots of baby cuddles!

Some Wednesdays will be swapped for another day- like the Wednesday that we are on camp.

I will be sharing the class with Kelly Hibbert. In order to make the transition a smooth one, we will be in full communication and will be planning together regularly.

In week 2, from Monday to Thursday, I will be away visiting my other daughter, Keeley, who is working in Falls Creek . Kelly Hibbert will be taking the class then too. It’s so long since I’ve skiied that apparently my 80’s jacket is back in fashion!!

Lost property has been laid out in the corridor around the corner from the sick room. Please remind your child to check it out to see if any of it belongs to them.
