Deputy's News
Dear Families and Friends
Welcome back to Term 2. We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable break. The children all seemed very excited to be back and had lots of great stories to tell about their holidays and Easter adventures.
Our teachers have been working hard to prepare rich and engaging learning environments for their students. This has set the scene for a great Term 2. Term 2 is always such a rewarding term as the students are settled into their new environments, the teachers have had a chance to work in their new teams and students and staff are clear about our curriculum and pedagogical choices matched to the learning needs of our students. This term parents will receive report cards for their children. These will be distributed electronically, on the last day of the term.
A reminder that the teachers will be emailing you all with a Welcome Back email and attached will be the Term 2 Curriculum Overview. This overview will summarise the learning that will be taking place in each curriculum area for the term.
Some important reminders about ANZAC Day events.
*Monday 24th April - our school Anzac Day service starts at 9am. All parents are welcome to attend.
*Tuesday 25th April - Anzac Day (Public Holiday). We will be walking as a school to the Community service. We would invite all students to march with our school. We are meeting at 9:15am at the Dayboro Pub and will walk to the showgrounds together. The Community service starts at 10am. Our Band and Choir, as well as our School Leaders are all participating in the service. We look forward to seeing as many of our students as possible walking with us and attending the service. Formal uniform and school hats will need to be worn please.
Our Easter Hat Parade and walk through town was such a wonderful event for our Prep- Yr 3 students. We finished with a mini Easter themed concert before our big walk back to school.
Flashback photos below. Even Sgt Ken and his bunny helpers walked with us.
PBL UPDATE! Awards at Dayboro.
A reminder that each week we give a Principal’s Award to a student who displays consistent and reliable efforts in living our school values of being Safe, Responsible and a Learner every day and in every way! The children who receive this award each week are invited at the end of each term to a Principal’s Morning Tea held in Week 10 of each term.
Principal’s Morning Tea Term 1
Also, those students who receive our special Golden Gotchas get a special certificate and go into the draw to receive the Sheriff’s Award also given out at the end of each term. This is a prize voucher and certificate presented by Sgt Ken on Assembly, also in Week 10, of each term and recognises those students who go above and beyond, to demonstrate excellent citizenship at our school
Safety in our car parks
A message from the bus companies- unfortunately we still have parents dropping off and picking up in our bus turnaround. This area is strictly only for buses before and after school. We want to keep ALL our students safe – the students who catch buses as well as the students getting collected by parents, grandparents etc. So keeping this bus lane free, will ensure all students can enter and exit safely.
Celebrating Student Success
A huge congratulations to Lily, a Yr 5 student, who headed to Warwick Glennie School in the holidays and competed in the Primary Class Dressage where she had to complete two dressage tests over the day. She ended up winning both her individual test and was the Primary Champion and managed some qualifiers in the lead up to the state championships. We are so proud of you Lily and wish you all the best at your next competition.
Thank you to the P&C for their highly successful organisation of the Easter Raffle this year.
A reminder that the Mother’s Day stall is being held on the 12th May.
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
