Principal—Sandra Spencer

On Friday the 13th of March we held our Sports Day; it was a fantastic day for all. Thank you

to the many parents who supported the day - your children enjoyed sharing the day with

you. Congratulations to all students, who showed Resilience in having a go and bouncing

back, Respect by encouraging everyone to have a go, built positive Relationships by

working together as a team and Responsibility by getting to events on time and looking

after the sporting equipment.

Three way interviews will be conducted this week via the phone; they are designed to

keep you informed about your child’s learning at school. Your child’s teachers will share

your child’s One Plan with you and give you time for questions. Parents who have not

booked in a time will be called at the convenience of the teacher.

I would like inform you about the precautionary measures that we are putting in place due

to the COVID-19 virus:

Student social distancing; moving student desks apart, ensuring students are not sitting

close to each other on the floor etc

All social gathering will be cancelled such as the planned Assembly on the 2nd of April

and the Bullying No Way event on Friday the 20th

Three Way Parent conferences will be conducted via a phone call. Parents who have

booked in will receive today the day and time your child’s teacher will call you. Any

parents who have not indicated a time - your child’s teacher will call you next week to

discuss their learning and One Plan goals and aims

We are frequently cleaning and promoting good hygiene practices: All work areas

including classrooms have been provided with cleaning supplies to clean surfaces and

high use areas/items such as door handles, switches, ipads, the bus, laptops, and desks.

We are ensuring students wash their hands before eating and coughing/sneezing into

their elbow or a tissue

The Community Hub will cease all program except the morning breakfast program,

supplying fruit and toast to classes and emergency lunches

We ask that if your child is feeling unwell that you keep them at home and inform the

school

It is important that we have a current contact phone number for you. Please inform the

school if your phone number has changed. If you require any further information please

call the school on 86826277.

Student Wellbeing Leader—Justin Pool

What a busy past couple of weeks. It has been great watching

whole school events such as Sports Day and Play is the Way on

Fridays. The Garage has also been very busy with its permanent

bookings and students wanting support in de-escalating their

heightened emotions.

The SRC has started meeting and as a group have decided that

Lunch Time Activities should commence again this year. Lunch Time

Activities will be based around students interests and give students

more choices of safe and engaging activities to participate in during

lunch. Some activities may include: art, sports, Lego/building and

board games.

Students have also expressed interest in having an Easter Egg Hunt in the last week of

school to help celebrate the end of term.

Harmon Day and Bullying No Way

During this term Amanda Parker and Kylie Fitzgerald’s F/1 class has been working closely

with students from the Port Lincoln Special School. Through this process students have

continued to build on their positive communication and social inclusion across the two

schools. On Friday, as part of Harmony Day and Bullying No Way a small ceremony with the

two schools was going to take place. During this event the new Community Hub wall was

going to be unveiled. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances this could not happen

but we will keep you posted when the event will take place in the future.

Port Adelaide Football Club Visit

In week 6, we were lucky enough to have players from the Port Adelaide Football Club visit

us. During this time, they discussed with the students the importance of keeping ourselves

healthy by the foods we eat, exercising, and getting enough sleep each night. They also

spoke about that even though they have careers in football they are continuing to learn

new skills in football and having a career outside of football.
