Dear families,

It’s hard to believe that next week is our last week of the term. It has been such a great term with so much amazing learning happening throughout the school.

The Foundation and Grade 1 and 2 teachers have been implementing the MultiLit literacy program with great success. MultiLit is an evidence based method to teach reading and spelling. This allows teachers to have the greatest impact on the literacy outcomes of students and the students to be engaged and showing great growth in reading and spelling.

I was lucky enough to spend Wednesday and Thursday on camp with the Grade 3/4 students at Forest Lodge Camp. It was so great to see every single child challenge themselves by attempting the activities. Camp is a great place to see students in a different setting and see how they come out of their shells, build great relationships, encourage each other and most of all, have fun! Thank you to the 3/4 teachers for organising and running such a wonderful experience for the students.

Next Thursday is Holy Thursday and in preparation for the special celebration of Easter our school will holding some special events. In the morning at 9:00am we will hold the Easter Bonnet Parade followed by an Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to our lovely Parents and Friends for organising this. At 11:30 the grade 5/6s will be leading us in Stations of the Cross. We invite all of our community to join us for these events.

Please have a great weekend with your families.

Kind regards,

Julian
