Problem solvers

in K/6B

In K-6B students have been working on building their problem solving skills by creating patterns, number grouping and by engaging in hands on Kinaesthetic tasks.

Dear parents, carers and community members,

Welcome to Week 8 and very interesting times for all of us. Schools are being updated daily regarding the response to the current virus concern. Please ensure you keep up to date as much as possible by checking our school website, facebok page and skoolbag app.

Our school is following all advise from the Health Department with increased cleaning requirements and a focus on hand washing for all. Students and staff who are unwell are being asked to stay at home. As you are aware a number of school events have been cancelled or postponed, following these guidelines we will inform families of any further changes.

We are focusing on keeping hands off in the playground for safety and health reasons. Please be advised that any student intentionally hurting others will be dealt with through department policy guidelines.

Students are responding very well to the focus we are having on our school values of being safe, responsible and respectful learners. I see many students at my office who are demonstrating these values at all times and excellent work ethic in their learning. Congratulations to all.Have a great week!Lesley Mills
