Newsletter No. 4 Term 1 Week 10 2021

From the Principal We are fast approaching the end of a very busy term jammed pack with learning and extra curricula events. We have been lucky to participate/run in the following events; Whole School Assembly, Welcome Morning Cuppa, Year 12 Focus Day, Swimming Carnival, Acquaintance Night, USE/SAPSASA Swimming Carnival, SLT Induction, SSSSA Swimming, Be Kind Day, Outdoor Ed Rock Climbing, Headspace Workshops, Clean Up Australia Day, Athletics Carnival, GRIP Leadership, USE/SAPSASA Athletics, School Casual Day, and SASPSASA Softball. So, if you are all thinking it has been a massive term and you are all a bit tired, then this is why. Throughout all of this, our students have been very positive towards their learning and will all get a very deserved break shortly.

As I approach the end of my first term as Principal, I have been reflecting about the successes and challenges of this term. In all of the success stories, there have been a few constants. These constants are our amazing students and supportive staff and families. Our students are the reason we as staff enjoy coming into work each day. They are enthusiastic and inquisitive learners. The support from the community and Governing Council has been immense and is truly appreciated. Our staff are incredible. They are all caring and supportive and strive for the best from our students. Together, we have the right ingredients to continue to do great things at Lameroo Regional Community School and I feel privileged to be a part of this journey.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Easter long weekend and upcoming school holidays. See you after the break!

Upcoming Events:

Parent, student and teacher interviews are taking place this Tuesday and Wednesday night. If you are looking to make a late booking please ring the front office as the cut-off date has passed. Primary Assembly will now be taking place in Week 11 on Wednesday 7th of April at 12:20pm in the PAC (previously was scheduled for Week 10). A note has gone home regarding parent consent for early dismissal. This is a new Department form that needs to be signed and returned by the end of next week. We will be trialling a new Newsletter format early next term so stay tuned

Congratulations to all of our students, staff, volunteers, parent club and community for supporting the 2021 Sports Day. It was a great day, and the students demonstrated a great amount of persistence and determination throughout the day. I loved seeing our older students encouraging our younger students and the sense of sportsmanship was outstanding.

Thanks must go to Zara Keough and Craig Zerk for their hours of preparation leading up to the event. It is greatly appreciated.
