Term 1 Week 2 5th February 2016 Issue No. 2
From the Principal All Aboard
School Calendar
As well as completing our first full week of school, Week 2 of term saw the excitement of the start of a new year for Prep (Our pre-kindy class for four year olds). A lovely morning tea and an opportunity to visit the Prep room on Monday, had all of our Prep students ready for their first day, with the first group of students starting on Tuesday.
Details for the end of Term 4 this year have been finalised, as we balance the earlier start to the 2016 year, the effect of the leap year and also public holidays. We also have endeavoured to ensure that we meet required learning time. Having considered all of this, our final day for students this year will be Friday, 9th December.
The Prep students settled so beautifully into their classes (as did our Kindergartens last week). The work that Mrs Tooler, Mrs Wilson and Mrs Bidstrup are undertaking in Prep is giving students a flying start to their schooling. We are really enjoying seeing the results coming through in our Infants classes’ learning and maturity.
With the start date for school moving earlier into January over the past few years, our end of year date is also moving earlier. Looking at the school calendar over the past few years and the earlier start to this year, the corresponding date to finish in line with the pattern from previous years would be Wednesday, 7th December
