Deputy Principal's Desk - Week 1 and 2
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 classrooms, routines are well established, and students and staff are clear about our curriculum and pedagogical choices matched to the learning needs of our students.
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.
BELOW ARE SOME PHOTOS OF Year 1 students extending their thinking and problem solving all the different combinations that could add up to 15. They love sharing their learning with others and couldn’t wait to show me how many different combinations they could come up with. SO engaging and so clever. Well Done Year 1.
Some important reminders about ANZAC Day events.

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.
