Dear Families and Friends
TRANSITIONS
At this time of year, we start to look forward to a very important part of our role here at Dayboro and that is educating our students for all settings and preparing them for change. Not only do we start to think about welcoming and providing information to our future Prep students and families for 2023 but we also begin to prepare our Yr. 6 students for the next phase of their education journey- the transition into high school.
Our Partnerships with both early educators and high schools are very important to us and we encourage their involvement and participation in our school as much as we can.
PREP 2023
To help with the transition from Kindy to Prep we are planning to hold a PREP INFORMATION session on Wednesday 17th August at 9:30 am where all parents enrolling their children in Prep for 2023 are welcome to attend and learn more about our school and our Prep rooms and teachers. We follow this information session up with a series of visits to Prep for these students in Term 4. These dates are Wednesday 12/10, Monday 24/10 and Friday 28/10. These are our Orientation days and our Prep teachers look forward to meeting and getting to know our future Preps also. We will also be holding Prep Interviews on Saturday 10/9.
(Next newsletter… More about transitions to high school!!)
IMPORTANT PBL NEWS!
Our Awards are: Be Kind, Be Positive, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Proud and Be Tolerant.
Every week we also have 4 students who receive GOTCHA awards. These students are spotted by other teachers in the playgrounds and classrooms and rewarded for doing the right thing with a GOTCHA award. They then go into the draw box where very week 4 students names are pulled out of the box. The winners receive a prize from the Prize Box and an iceblock voucher.
Congratulations to this week’s GOTCHA award winners.
Author Visit – Gregg Dreise
A big thank you to Gregg Dreise for his inspiring visit last week. The Prep-Year 4 students were enchanted by his storytelling and his engaging way of capturing the imaginations of all students and adults. His books are a big hit in the library and to hear how his stories came about and the land they are from gave an important real-life link to our learning. Furthermore, his messages of inclusion and celebrating differences resonated with all the children. We can't wait to have you back to our school, Gregg.
Thank you to Mrs Cassell and our teachers who organised and attended Interschool Sport competitions last week and for organising District Sports this week.
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
