News from the Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Firstly, thank you to all the parents who were able to support our grades 5/6 swimming program, it was greatly appreciated. The 3/4 swimming program will begin on the 22nd August for two weeks.
Our school camp programs will also be occurring over the next two terms. The grade six children and the grade three children will be heading off this term. We appreciate this is causing some anxiety amongst children and parents as we haven’t been able to do things like this over the past two years and children haven’t had the same opportunities to socialise outside of school with their peer group and develop social skills and confidence to try new things.
We are excited to partner with Dani McLennan Occupational Therapy to offer a session for parents of children in grades 3 to 6 to support you in supporting your children to have a successful camp experience.

Camp Support Meeting for Parents: Has your child missed out on school camp because of COVID lockdowns? Do you have a child that worries about going on school camp? Are you unsure about your child going on school camp? We know that going on a school camp can be a really big deal! We also know that the disruptions of the last two years has led to challenges with all the usual preparations that occur prior to children learning to go on school camp. Dani and Kayce, from Dani McLennan Occupational Therapy, will be offering a presentation and discussion about preparing your child for camp on Thursday 18th August starting at 5:30pm in the School Hall. This will include how to support your child to develop skills in reducing worry about staying away from home, increasing independence in self-care, and dealing with the new and unusual activities that are a part of camp. |
Kind regards
Jodie
