PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to the start of Term 3!
It has been an incredibly busy beginning to the term, but it has been fantastic to have so many events celebrating our students and life at Artarmon.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the athletics carnival and gave it their all. It was a terrific day, and it was wonderful to see everyone joining in and having fun.
Final results, including ribbons and notifications for students who qualify to represent Artarmon at the Zone carnival, will be shared with students over the next week. Notes will be sent home via email and through the School Bytes portal.
SRC KINDNESS PROJECT
Our SRC-led 'Kindraiser' last term was a tremendous success, and we are currently in the design phase of our school's 'Kind' mural.
We were fortunate to have the school photographer capture this project, and we are excited to share the results with you here.
Continuing with their Kindness Project, the student leaders contacted the author of 'The Kindness Project,' Deborah Abela, to see if they could interview her, and she kindly agreed.
The interview for their next podcast was recorded last week. We are still in the editing phase; however, we hope to release the next episode soon and share it with you all.
PUBLIC EDUCATION WEEK - OPEN DAY
Public Education Week is an annual celebration of public education in NSW, recognising the accomplishments of our school, teachers, and students. This year’s theme is "Ignite Your Potential."
We are excited to welcome you to our school next THURSDAY for a morning of festivities and open classrooms, where we can showcase our dedication and celebrate Artarmon during Public Education Week.
Please find the poster below with all the details for the morning.
KUDOS TO OUR DANCE GROUPS
Last term, our gifted dancers had the opportunity to showcase their talents on the main stage at Glen Street Theatre during the Sydney North Dance Festival, and we couldn't be prouder of their hard work and accomplishments.
At the event, professional photographers captured stunning moments of our dancers, and we are excited to share some of those images with you here.
To the parents of these extraordinary dancers, we will be sending a separate email with the video and photos.
A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers, Ms Juergens, Mrs Stanistreet, Mrs Richards, and Ms Kendall, who generously volunteer their time to plan and instruct our students.
TERM 3 INVOICES
Thank you to the families who have settled their Term 3 invoices and digitally signed all the permission slips for the term activities. If you haven't done so yet, please take a moment to complete these tasks, as they greatly assist the school's planning and execution of these learning activities. If you have any questions or need support, feel free to reach out to the office, we're here to help.
PHASING OUT OF SZAPP
As we have mentioned several times, we will discontinue the use of the SZapp by the end of Term 3 and will exclusively use the School Bytes app. Please ensure that both parents have downloaded thisappp and have enabled notifications. While most communication will be sent via email, we will also provide timely updates through the newsfeed with notifications.
DOWNLOADING YOUR STUDENT ACADEMIC REPORTS
Please remember to download and save your child's semester report from the School Bytes portal. The report will be available for the entire time your child is at Artarmon, however, once you leave, you will lose access to it. These reports are important and may be needed in the future, so now is a great time to download and save them somewhere safe!
