Welcome to Week 1, Term 4

Good afternoon parents,

I hope that you have enjoyed a restful break and everyone is feeling recharged and rested, ready for our final term together! 

I am looking forward to welcoming the students back into class on Monday and I can't wait to hear about what they have been up to.

I spent the two weeks gaining my Taxi Driver's Accreditation and according to my two main passengers, except for the singing I am a competent taxi driver! 

When I wasn't in the car I was enjoying lots of puppy walks and catching up on Netflix...some good stuff at the moment! Very much looking forward to a proper start to Summer...soooooooooo ready to switch out the wardrobe!

A few reminders for the start of the term...

Taste of SMMC - Just a reminder that all Year 4 students will be heading off on Friday to experience some of the delights of SMMC. If your child has not returned their permission slip and you need another copy, please let me know and I will send one home with your child on Monday.

Stationery - If you can please take a moment to remind your child to clean out their pencil cases (these were taken home at the end of last term) and check if they are missing anything. 

The hard work continues and students having what they need goes a long well to helping them feel organised and in control. 

Perhaps double check the lunch box made it out safely too!

Laptops - Please also remind your child to pop them on charge ready for Monday. 

Summer Uniform - Not that it feels like it but we are back in summer uniform as of Monday. There is a two week swap over period so long pants are still welcome as the weather is still cool!

Hats - Please make sure that your child has a hat that stays in their school bag - this was a major issue towards the end of last term and just creates stress for them as they aren't able to go down to the oval, basketball courts or nature playground areas.

Caitlin

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 8 Update

Image
Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..

Week 6 Has Arrived!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w
