PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
WELCOME TO OUR WONDERFUL KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS
What an amazing start our Kindergarten students have had at Artarmon Public School. They have been so settled in the classroom and playground, making friends and learning new things.
Thank you to our amazing parents for your understanding and cooperation with drop off and pick ups. The children have learnt new routines so quickly and we know that this is because of your help.
Morning drop off from next week will be a little different. Students will need to be dropped off at one of the school gates (Abbott Rd or Oval gate) and make their way to the kindergarten playground between 8:25am and 8:55am. No parents to come on site.
A teacher will be on duty in both areas, under the covered kindergarten play area and near the oval gate / toilet block. Teachers are there to keep students safe and remind them of the area they are to be in, if unsure.
Similar to the pictures below, all kindergarten students will line up in their classes at 8:55am under the covered outdoor learning area (COLA).
I would like to thank our amazing Kindergarten teachers for all the hard work they have put into creating such an environment to allow our students to thrive in the first week of school. They work tirelessly to ensure our children are safe and happy when at school learning.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2021 SPORT CAPTAINS
Today our new sport house captains were presented with their badges and sworn in to their official student leadership positions. We know they will do an amazing job supporting the students of Artarmon.
SWIMMING CARNIVAL
Our twilight swimming carnival will be held on the 22nd February from 4pm at Lane Cove Aquatic Centre. All information regarding this carnival has been sent home via the SZapp.
NORTH SHORE ZONE PSSA
Artarmon is a delegate of the North Shore Zone PSSA. This organisation is run by teachers from each of the 15 schools that make up our Zone to deliver interschool sporting opportunities and competitive events for students to qualify for Regional, State and National level.
The North Shore Zone PSSA had to cancel our interschool Friday afternoon sport for Term One due to a number of reasons. All opportunities for students to advance to a higher level in their chosen sport will still go ahead and be communicated to students when the opportunities arise.
Our interschool sport competitions will start back up in Term 2 with students selected to represent Artarmon in Netball, Soccer and AFL.
