End of Term!

Hello, 46A and 46A enthusiasts!

We've made it to week 9 and the end of the term is in sight!

Just a few reminders for the week:
- We are on an abridged checklist this week. Students will be asked to completed a smaller number of jobs due to our reduced number of days in the classroom. 'Work debts' have been erased and everyone starts with a clean slate next term. Some students have really put the hard yards in and are prioritising, organising and completing work in a very efficient manner!
- One of the days out this week is Athletics Carnival day! This is tomorrow (27th March). Please ensure your child is at school on time, dressed in house colours and wearing sunscreen, with a water bottle, lunch and a hat (all clearly named). Good luck to everyone, especially those in house relays and the long distance events!
- On Thursday we have a change to the timetable as we finish at 2:30pm. Administration has made it clear that any child not collected or supervised by a parent will be taken to after school care at 2:45pm. Please ensure you have discussed arrangements with your child.
- Three-Way Conferences tonight! We have eleven families attending - great to see 100% attendance over the two weeks as a result! - but this does mean we will need to stick very close to schedule. If we do not have a chance to discuss everything you feel is necessary please make an appointment to see me early next term (Thursdays and Fridays are best for us at school).

I have had many requests for short activities or strategies parents can put in place at home to support student learning. I will link a document later in the week which will outline some ideas you can discuss with your child and maybe choose some that fit your family's schedule and preferences best.

Keep checking back over the holidays for updates about exciting things happening in Term 2! If you are doing anything exciting feel free to comment below and stay in touch with others during the break. Travel safe if you are travelling, sleep in if you are not, and see you in person next term!
