Good afternoon Artarmon Community,

I know you are reading this now and I will no doubt see you in a couple of hours at the P&C meeting tonight, however, please keep reading for some important updates.

MEET THE TEACHER NIGHTS

We had another fantastic success with our parents visiting the classrooms to meet the teachers who are often discussed at home each night. Thank you for participating in this event; the teachers truly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you and share insights about daily classroom activities and plans for the year ahead.

It was great to see so many of you in the playground and the hall. Copies of the grade slide shows will be distributed to each grade through School Bytes by the end of the week.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MYRA AND AVANTIKA!

After only 5 weeks, Artarmon are already representing in the Sydney North and NSW State Cricket competition with our excellent talent.

A huge congratulations to Myra and Avantika after being selected in the Sydney North team and going on to win the State Championship.

Both girls were also selected to represent NSW in the national competition later in the year. Outstanding effort and we are looking forward to following the journey throughout the year. Congratulations girls!

MORNING SUPERVISION

Please remember that morning supervision is from 8:25 am. I understand families have morning and work commitments, however, it is not an option to drop them off at school earlier and have them wait in the playground. 

This is a safety/duty of care issue and staff are unable to take responsibility for them.

STUDENT ILLNESS - PLEASE KEEP THEM HOME IF UNWELL

As we always prioritise the health and well-being of our students and staff, we would like to remind you of the importance of keeping your child at home if they are feeling unwell. This precaution not only aids in your child's recovery but also helps to prevent the spread of illness within our school community.

We understand that it can be challenging to manage school commitments during times of sickness, but your cooperation is vital in keeping everyone safe and healthy. If your child exhibits any symptoms of illness, please ensure they rest and recover at home until they are feeling better.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe learning environment for all.

GOOD LUCK CAMPERS

Our Year 5 students departed this morning to the Great Aussie Bush Camp in Tea Gardens for three days of fun, adventure and organised chaos!

This is an amazing experience for our students and wouldn't be possible without our teachers volunteering their time away from home to take them. This, I am truly thankful for and I know, as a community, you are too.
We will send some updates to the Year 5 parents through the SZapp during the week and please keep an eye on alerts for any delays in the arrival time back at school on Friday afternoon.
