From the Principal’s Desk…

KINDERGARTEN WELCOME MORNING TEA

It has been a very positive start for our Kindergarten

students who commenced school on Monday.

The children have settled in quickly and are already

adjusting well to school life. It has been lovely to meet

many of our new Kindergarten students on their first

visit to the front office.

Thank you to the welcome morning tea coordinators

and P&C representatives for providing the friendly

welcome to parents after they had dropped off their

child/children to school.

MEET THE TEACHER INFORMATION

Next Monday, 10 February will be our ‘Meet the

Teacher’ sessions.

This provides an opportunity for parents to introduce

themselves to the teacher, receive information on

class routines and ask any questions.

For parents with children in Years 1 – 6, the ‘Meet the

Teacher’ afternoon will be from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

For Kindergarten parents the session will be in your

child’s classroom from 5.00pm to 6.00pm.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS

At the beginning of every year we establish many of

our extra-curricular programs. These programs can be

academic, sporting or in the creative arts, and they

provide additional learning opportunities for students

from K to Year 6.

For each of the groups there are a limited number of

positions available and places are often restricted

based on competition guidelines. For this reason, we

endeavour to give each student wishing to

participate the best opportunity to be involved in a

trial/audition.

This week, and in coming weeks, selection processes

will occur for many groups. This task requires

considerable time and effort from teachers in

coordinating multiple trials/auditions and then making

difficult selection decisions.

We understand that many students will be

disappointed if unsuccessful, and therefore miss out

on being part of the group or team, particularly if

they were previously involved or have missed out on

other occasions.

Missing out on selection can be a valuable learning

opportunity for students as they are faced with

dealing with various emotions. At this time it is vital

that we talk openly with children about being resilient

– the ability to bounce back.

At school teachers discuss with children about

positive self-talk and keeping perspective on the

situation.

We also need your help.

As adults we know that throughout life we are faced

with situations that can bring disappointment and

which also affect our self-confidence.

This is when we should be talking positively to them

about ways to maintain self-confidence and their self-

esteem.

Please understand that if a child misses selection for a

group or team, parents approaching staff seeking

special exemption or reconsideration cannot be

accommodated.

As a school we have a responsibility to be fair to all

students in the process.

We seek your support in regards to this matter.

SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Congratulations to all children who yesterday

participated in the swimming carnival. It was pleasing

to see so many students getting involved in the

various races and giving their best.

Whilst there is a competitive element to races, I am

always impressed with the sportsmanship shown

between our students. They are first to congratulate

and acknowledge an outstanding effort.

Thank you to Mr Sutherland, Mr Prime and Mrs

Hendriks for their efforts in organising the carnival.

Thank you also to the staff for their hard work.

Thank you also to the hard-working parents who

helped on the day.

For those students who qualify, the Pittwater zone

carnival will be held Tuesday, 10 March at the

Warringah Aquatic Centre.

P&C News…

A warm welcome to our kindergarten families!!

We hope you've all settled into your classes and are

looking forward to the year ahead.

Just a reminder, recess and lunch orders are done

through the online flexischools app. Same for school

hats. If your hat is misplaced, please check in the lost

and found. Hats clearly labelled with a name are

easier to return to their owners.

The canteen is always looking for volunteers to assist

with food preparation and service times during the

day. It's a great way to volunteer your time and

experience the school environment.

The first P&C meeting for the year is on Wednesday,

26 February in the OOSH dome, from 7:30pm. All new

and returning members are welcome. Come along

and find out what we do and what's happening

around the school.

PLEASE NOTE: Whilst every attempt is made to verify bonafide advertisers, the school does not accept responsibility therefore parents should use their own discretion.
