Dear Families and Friends
A big welcome back to all our returning and new families to Dayboro school this year. 2025 is already off to an excellent start with our “Meet and Greet” session
held last Friday. Parents had the opportunity to visit classrooms and students could meet their teachers before the first day. Thank you teachers for providing this opportunity in a week that is already very busy with staff meetings, professional learnings and preparing classrooms. We hope it helped to relieve some of that first day chaos and anxiety for parents and students, especially when you have to drop more than one child! The first day of school also went very smoothly and the teachers reported that students were highly positive and eager to learn.
Welcome also to our new Student Leaders for 2025. We wish them all the best for the year ahead and their leadership journey.
Finally, a reminder that our School Vision is “To inspire students to reach their full potential in a safe, caring and educationally challenging environment.” Our staff and students are committed to this vision and we are looking forward to a great year of learning and growth for all our students!
In 2025 we also continue to embrace our values of
“Be respectful, be responsible, be positive, be tolerant, be proud and be kind.”
Dayboro State School Behaviour Expectations (School-Wide)
Below are our whole school expectations.
Our staff work very hard to appreciate and acknowledge positive behaviours in our school and these expectations are what we look for! Parents too can help support our staff by reading these through with your children and also positively acknowledging their choices.
Playgroup - Dayboro Little Learners
Playgroup starts on Friday 14th February at 9am. We meet in the Helping Hands house. All ages welcome. Come along and join in the fun. If interested and new to our school, just phone the office and we will add you to our email group to keep you informed about catch ups.
IMPORTANT
School drop-off starts at 8:15am in the morning. Children arriving earlier than this are unfortunately not supervised and parents are responsible for their care until staff arrive on duty at 8:15am.
It is very hot so please remember that it is an expectation that all children wear hats during play times and PE lessons.
The rule is “No Hat, no Play!”
Children that do not wear hats are expected to be in the CSA areas during break times.
SWIMMING – Years 2 and 4.
Year 2 and 4 will be swimming in first term again this year. We changed this last year. This decision was made because of the move of NAPLAN to Term 1 in the year now. This directly affects the Year 3’s and as there are 5 weeks of swimming lessons it was decided it would be best to move them to the end of the year so as not to interrupt their learning. Classes 2C, 2D, 4L, 4B will be swimming from Week 4 until Week 8. They will swim every Thursday and Friday for a 1/2hr lesson for 5 weeks. Notes and invoices will be sent home next week. The cost will be approx..$100 These lessons are an important part of our curriculum and all students are expected to attend.
A big thank you to our hard- working P&C for providing the tissues and tea at our welcome get together on Tuesday after school drop off. It was lovely to see so many parents enjoy meeting others and chatting about the first morning of school.
Thank you Mrs Ryan!
