Dear Families and Friends

Well, it is getting closer to the end of term and the last few weeks are looking busier than ever. Parent Interviews will be held in Week 8 this term. Please take advantage of this valuable opportunity and organise a time to speak with your child’s class teacher.  You can make a time through the SOBS booking online system and the link has been sent via your class email as well as an email sent to all parents from Mrs Douglas. This term we have offered a late evening session on Thursday 1^st September to accommodate working parents. This session will be held in the hall and will be the main session when interviews will be held. Teachers have already sent links where you can book and have all so made some other times during the week when they will be available.

Just a reminder also that over the last two weeks of this term,   teachers will again be involved in curriculum planning in their Professional Learning Year Level Teams. Please be aware that there may be different teachers on your child’s classes in Weeks 8, 9 and 10 while teachers are released off class to collaboratively plan and moderate with their Year Level teams.

Also, please look out for Swimming Notes being sent out this week for Prep-Yr 2 classes. Swimming starts next term in Week 2 of the term for these Year Levels.

As we head closer to the holidays, it is important to remember to remind children to keep focused on their work at school and at home.

Homework, especially reading homework, is an important part of being prepared for learning and revising concepts taught in class, at home, helps children at school.  I would encourage all children to be reading or read to every night! 

WRITING AT DAYBORO

At Dayboro we value creative, authentic and engaging writing for a purpose. Our goal for 2022 has been to lift the engagement of our students in writing in all its’ forms and to celebrate successes in writing. Our teachers work hard to embed the teaching of high quality writing practices in their classrooms. Teachers meet regularly to discuss and share writing samples of students and it is pleasing to see our students working so diligently on their writing goals and becoming better writers!
