SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
The Board of Trustees hopes to appoint a new Principal half-way through Term 2. Until then:

Hannah Stewart and Di Simpson are acting co-principals.
If you need to speak to Hannah or Di, please make an appointment through Paula. Please be mindful that they are also teaching full time, so they won’t be able to get back to you immediately.
Please follow our Concerns or Questions Process

What's on this week?

PIE WARMERS!
We have three pie warmers in the admin area that are used to heat up lunches - very popular on cold days.
- lunches need to be wrapped securely in tinfoil, or put in small tin foil trays.
- lunches need to be CLEARLY named with a vivid marker and with a room number.
- if you’re making lunches for the freezer, name them before putting them in the freezer - vivid doesn’t work on cold tinfoil.
- children put their lunches in the pie warmers when they arrive at school (after they have put their bags away). Lunches are delivered to each class at lunchtime.
SENIOR EXERCISE BOOKS
Please ensure you have taken the time to have a good look through your child’s books, and write a positive comment in each one. We know these comments take a bit of time to write, but we'd like to think this is time very well spent. Make sure they bring their books back to school on Monday.
