Welcome Back

It was great to see everyone back refreshed and ready to go despite the cold and wet weather yesterday! This term will no doubt be another busy one with Parent/Teacher/Student Learning Conversations, mini-Olympics, athletics, a curriculum day and the big one – Concert – in the last week of term.

NAPLAN 2024: NAPLAN results have arrived at school, and we are currently sorting them out. They should be sent home later this week. Overall, we are very proud of the effort that the students put in and the results they achieved. Please remember that NAPLAN is a snapshot of your child on one day of the year and if you have any questions regarding your child’s NAPLAN results, please make a time to talk to their teacher.

Thanks

Glen Lauder

Principal

This term we are holding Learning Conversations with families and class teachers. These will be on Wednesday July 31st from 3:40pm – 7pm and Tuesday August 6th from 3:40pm – 5pm.

Families will soon receive access to bookings on the Sentral Portal app.

The Learning Conversations will be for 10 minutes with parents/carers and classroom teachers. In this time, you will be able to discuss learning successes and achievements from Semester 1, look at workbooks, see more of the tasks your child was proud of and also discuss future learning goals and needs for Semester 2.

These Learning Conversations will take the place of previous Student Led Conferences, where your child led the meeting and shared their learning. It will allow time for teachers and parents/carers to talk about the learning and needs of your child together. Families are welcome to have their child present for these conversations, but this is no longer a requirement for the evenings.

Please look for the links on the Sentral Portal to sign up for your times with class teachers later this week. We look forward to seeing you all on July 31st or August 6th.

Thank you to the Drysdale Uniting Church Op Shop for their generous donation to the Drysdale Primary School Breakfast Club. This money is so beneficial to the Club and its continued success. The Uniting Church Op Shop have been continued supporters of the school and we can’t thank them enough for this donation. It ensures that we can continue our Club twice a week for the remainder of the year.

 

This term we have some of our Year 6 students volunteering to serve their peers some toasties each morning. They are rostered on just like our staff who have volunteered for this in the past. We loved having them help out some mornings in Term 2 and can’t wait to have some Kids Matter or Junior School Council members supporting the Breakfast Club this term. Don’t forget your smile and your manners when you pop past for a toastie or some fruit this term.

Kate, Kendra, Kylie, Jess and Kerryn.
