Dear Families and Friends 

COMMUNITY

Well, the term and year is almost over……

Swimming Carnivals- completed!

School Photos– successful!

Sushi Day- will be delicious!

Graduation Morning- almost there!

As always at this time of year, I am again reminded of my favourite quote:

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Helen Keller

While this year has been very different and our usual band of helpers have not been able to be at school for a long time, there are still many people working busily behind the scenes to make sure that our students  don’t miss out on anything. Many thanks to our Banking, Tuckshop and P&C helpers who contribute so much and have worked so hard to make sure some of our favourite events and some new ones like the Colour Run and Dad’s Tuckshop Day happen. You all help to make a difference and contribute to the success of our students in so many areas.

Many thanks!

Also, while Dayboro students continued to shine academically this year and excelled in a range of extra-curricular pursuits, what continues to define our students is their excellent commitment to the values and behaviour codes of our school. The support of parents is also highly important in ensuring our expectations around being safe, respectful and learners are constantly upheld. So...Thank you students and parents for making Dayboro a great school!

Finally …. I could not do an end of year Newsletter without personally thanking our Student Leaders and the other Yr 6 students who have been invaluable in the journey at Dayboro this year- thank you to Georgia, Zeke, Sophie and Zac, as well as all the Yr 6 Sports and Music leaders and cohort. Thank you all for your helpfulness and responsible ways. All of you really do demonstrate and model for others Responsibility, Safety and Learning in so many ways but most of all you are wonderful humans and I wish you all the best for your future at High School. You will all shine!!!

EXCITING WRITING 

At Dayboro one of our curriculum priorities has been to help all students improve in the area of writing. Teacher and students have been focussed on improving engagement and creativity in our students as writers. We have nurtured and celebrated every student as an author this year and all students have writing goals to work towards.  We even had our own D.S.S. Writing Competition and an Author’s Chair for children to share their award winning books. These are now kept in our library.  In 2021 our main priority area will again be writing. We will be celebrating writing in all its’ different forms and aim to identify and extend talented authors that exist in every classroom.

PREP 

We have now finished our 2021 Prep Orientation process.  We enjoyed meeting all our new Prep parents and children for 2021. Thank you for taking advantage of this valuable opportunity to visit our school and learn more about our Prep classrooms.

Enrolments for 2021 are still being considered so please if you have an eligible Prep child for 2021 or know someone who does, come and enrol as soon as possible.
