Parents Need to Communicate with Teachers We know it can be hard to find pencil and paper, send that email or text BUT parents are legally required to provide schools with notice for a child’s absence – planned or unplanned. For us, that means parents CAN: speak with a classroom teacher directly (avoiding class times), write a note in their child’s homework folder or communication book, email the classroom teacher, leave a message on the campus answering machine or call/text the campus mobile - 0427 501 731 Pauline is not the person to pass messages on to teachers – her role in the mornings is bus driver and then to prepare for her second role on arrival. If there is a change to bus travel plans, again use the campus phone to inform school. This is very important because Pauline in not always driving the bus. Parent - Teacher Meetings We are holding 10-mi nute meetings in weeks 6 and 7. These are to allow for general talk about settling in, routines and possible areas to provide further support at home (for you and your child). Please compete and return ASAP.

This week saw the students undertake a normal timetable, which allowed them to see when they would have different classes and how each day of the week would run. The students did extremely well, with how the weeks will be running for the rest of the year. In the Junior Room, students this week have been learning about the letter I, with the spelling word for the Foundation students being Tin and the 1/2 students being ‘I’ as in tin. Students have also being working hard in Maths learning about 2D shapes. In Reading this week, the students have been working hard to understand how our literacy rotations will work. In the Senior Room, in Maths the students were working on place value, writing numbers as words, expanded numbers and even looking at roman numerals. Students also started working on predicting in reading lessons, with one of the more popular activities being the Y chart prediction, where they have to predict what happened before during and after an event. This week saw both grades start their inquiry topic for the term. This term we are looking at living things and their environment. This particular topic lends its self to cooking and gardening which the students do on Wednesday afternoons. This week for gardening and cooking, we had a visit for some of Miss Johnson’s chickens. The Campus Captains have been talking to students who are interested in being on Junior School Council this week, with Junior School Council to be starting in the coming weeks and students finding out who will be representative of their classes. Congratulations to all the senior students who represented the school while participating in the District Swimming Sports on Wednesday at Euroa. And good luck next Thursday to those who made it through to Division. Reminders: Next week Parent Teacher Interviews on Tuesday and Thursday.

Great job everyone! A team of swimmers were selected to represent the College based on their competent swimming techniques demonstrated throughout their lessons.
