Weekly comment from our stage coordinators

Welcome back after a good long break and some wonderful sunny weather.   We look forward to receiving the children back at school tomorrow after the Professional Development Day today (Monday).

It looks like a full term beginning with Teachers Day on Monday of week 2, Cyber Safety talks for all the children at Grade level and of course the Infants Shakespeare Festival preparation will be going into top gear for their annual performances in Week 4.     
Parent support for this Festival is wonderful, as there will be many jobs to be done.  A special note of thanks once again to Geraldine West for the storage, care and help with selection of the costumes.
School photos, exciting 3-day excursions for the Primary some classes to Bathurst and some to Milson Island are coming up this Term, as well as the Primary preparation for their Shakespeare Festival in Term 4.  It should be a full and enjoyable term.
This term we will be targeting our core value of Care and a good place to begin the term is care of uniform:  the right clothes and equipment at the right time and place.  More details on this in due course.  All the best for the Term!
