PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to Week 6 and our fortnightly Newsflash. It is crazy to think that we are already half way through the term. It is wonderful to see how settled your children are each day in classrooms and the playground and how they love to show up everyday to learn, play and grow at Artarmon.
Yesterday we had the majority of our new class parents come together to thank them for volunteering and share ways they can support our school. If you have not already, you will soon receive communication from your class parent regarding joining a What's App group or email distribution list. If you do not receive this or you are not sure how to contact your class parent by the end of next week, please contact the school.
Please remember our main forms of communication are our SZappp notification/ emails and fortnightly Newsflash. If you do need clarification or support in anyway, please do not hesitate to contact the school via email and we will get back to you.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SEMESTER TWO SRC REPRESENTATIVES
MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT
It was wonderful to see our parents in classrooms and the hall for grade information sessions at our 'Meet the Teacher' nights last week. I hope you found it valuable and got an insight of where and how your child learns every day.
We would like to gather some feedback regarding on your thoughts, after trialling the new class and grade session format.
Please know that we are still planning our individual interviews in Week 10 of Term 2 after we have sent out the Semester One academic reports.
If you could spare a few minutes, please click on the link to answer a few questions. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

YEAR 5 OFF TO CAMP
Floods of tears were seen flowing down Abbott Rd this morning as our Year 5 parents waived farewell to their well rested, clean and excited children as they made their way to the Great Aussie Bush Camp.
A huge thank you to all the teachers for giving up their own time to allow our students this amazing opportunity. We know on Friday when they return, the well rested and clean adjectives used above might not best describe the cohort as they disembark the coach for a weekend at home.
Parents of Year 5, please keep an eye out for updates via the SZappp for time of arrival.
H BLOCK ARTWORK
Our artwork commissioned from some of last years Walkathon funds is coming together in our playground.
The students have thoroughly enjoyed watching the artwork come together over the last week.
