Its hard to believe that it is already Week 8 and there are only two and a half weeks left of the term before we break for the July holidays. Teachers have been working overtime to prepare your child's Semester One academic reports and are looking forward to meeting with you during Week 10 Parent Teacher Interviews to unpack, in more detail, your child/childrens' learning progress and work habits. If you have not booked your one on one interview time yet, please check the SZapp for details. If you are having any difficulty with booking, please contact the office for assistance.

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
Face to Face or Phone call: Please remember, if you have booked a face to face interview and on the day you feel unwell or have any cold or flu symptoms, please contact the office and we will organise for the teacher to call you at your scheduled time.

LOST PROPERTY: If your child has come home without their jumper or hat and you are constantly having to remind them to find it, please send them to look in the lost property pile near the music room.

On Tuesday next week, we will have all the lost property laid out on the McMillan tables from 8am to make it easier for families to find lost items. After this, all items will be given to the 2nd hand uniform shop.

P&C AGM: Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our P&C AGM either in person or via Zoom. It was great to be able to spend some time talking about what has been happening in the school as well as hear from our amazing P&C committees and volunteers. 

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank our departing P&C executive, Malvina Crastin, Tiffany Fraser and Jackie Sternfeld. These three women have led the P&C and supported our students and community for the last three years, through, what we know, has been one of the most trying times in recent years. What Malvina, Tiffany and Jackie have achieved in this time is to be commended. Everything they accomplished was with the students best interest in mind and to build back a safe, supportive and welcoming school community. The support, appreciation and value they placed on our teachers and non teaching staff was incredible. I know I speak for everyone when say THANK YOU! Please know that everything you put your time and energy into has had a significant impact on our school culture and community feel which directly impacts each and every student in our school.

I would also like to take this time to say thank you and welcome to our new P&C Executive. We are looking forward to working with you to continue supporting our students and community.

WALKING TO SCHOOL SAFE - USING MOBILE PHONES: We've had some reports from concerned citizens that there are Artarmon students walking to school with their faces buried deep in their mobile phones. Please talk with your children at home about the importance of being alert and road safe when they are walking to and from school.

Also a timely reminder of our mobile device policy which is 'off and away' any mobile device including smarty watches are not to be worn or used during school hours. If your child needs a device it is to be turned off and put away during school hours

SCHOOL PHOTOS: School Photos that were taken in Term One will be arriving at school in the coming days and should make their way home to you before the holidays. Information on ordering group and extra curricular photos will be shared through the Szap soon.
