Welcome Back! Week 1 Update

Good afternoon parents,

Welcome back for Term 2...as I am writing this post to welcome you back I have the footy on in the background listening to the last post...always love this game!

I hope that you enjoyed the holidays and stayed well, the weather was amazing and it was nice to spend the time resting and recharging ready for another great term!

I will keep this post short this week with just a few reminders to ease us all back in!

Laptops - a reminder to ask your child to pop theirs on charge ready for tomorrow!

COVID/Isolation - If your family is affected by COVID please do let me know. 

The large majority of our work is placed in the various folders on One Note for your child to access depending on how well they are feeling or how much support you are able to offer if you yourself are unwell.

If there is anything that I or the school can do to help, please do let me know!

Masks - If I can ask you to please check in with your child to make sure they have a mask ready to go for each day and to talk with them about wearing them properly I would be super grateful!

Winter Uniform - we are making the move into our winter uniform as of tomorrow so hopefully everything still fits! Please note that most days we will still need to have the door open to keep our classroom healthy and fresh so it may be worth your child having their jumper in their bag as it can get cold!

Character Strengths - as part of our health unit this term we are looking more in depth at our own personal character strengths. In our health lessons this week the students will be completing the VIA Character Strengths Survey. The students will need to create their own account so their results can be saved individually, they will use their school email to do so.

VIA Character Strengths Survey Link

If you have any concerns about child creating this account, can I ask that you please let me know...alternatively, if you would like to help your child create their account on their laptop with your details that would also be brilliant!

Please do not have your child complete the survey just yet - this is to be done in class.

Wheels After Meals - This will kick off on Tuesday of Week 2. 

Please make sure that your child brings their wheels and appropriate safety gear if they wish to participate!

Mrs Delane

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 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

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..
