SWIMMING CARNIVAL

It was wonderful to see our competitive swimmers come to Lane Cove on Monday evening with their families and compete in our carnival. The students had a great time and a huge thanks must go to Mr King, Mr Oriel, Ms Harrington and Ms Wolski for all the work they did prior to and on the day to make it a successful event. For those that were there, you would have also seen the large staff turn out, giving up time with their families to help run the event after hours. This was so amazing to see and I know our whole community are appreciative of their support.

Congratulations to our winners, more information about the North Shore Zone carnival will come home soon.

2022 CLASSES & PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS

On Monday we were able to confirm our enrolment numbers and form 48 classes this year, including one Year 5/6 composite class. The teachers have spent the last few weeks getting to know your children by building relationships and setting up positive learning environments. They are very much looking forward to meeting you virtually via Zoom or phone next week to share how your child has settled into their new classroom.

If you have not yet booked your parent / teacher interview for next week, please check the SZapp for the details and if any issues booking, please call the office and they will be able to assist.

CLASSES FOR 2022

GENERAL PERMISSIONS

This week you would have received an email with a digital version of our yearly student general permission form. If you have any questions about the permission slip, or you have not received it, please contact the office.

SCRIPTURE & ETHICS CLASSES

A separate digital from will be coming home soon regarding family permissions and choice of religious education and ethics classes. Once we receive this information we will be able to form classes and work closely with the coordinators to get the programs up and running. We will be slightly delayed with the start time this year due to the logistics and organisation around cohorting and split break times. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

INVOICES & VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION

Term 1 invoices will be sent home via email on Friday this week. A PDF letter will be attached detailing the term fees and yearly levies. The student levies each year are used to support teaching and learning programs in the classroom for children.

UR Strong PARENT WEBINAR- SAVE THE DATE

Your children have been engaging in UR Strong lessons in their classrooms over the last few weeks to help build a common language when dealing with friends and friendship issues. There will be a UR Strong Parent Webinar available on Wednesday 9th March 2022. More information and details to follow.

PICK UP & DROP OFF

Please remember that safety of our children and community at drop off and pick up is paramount!

• Choose safety over convenience - Do not double park and get children to come onto the road to get into a car!
• Park safely and walk to meet your child.

K-2 pick up on the oval

Please take note of the council parking signs around our school and the times you are allowed to park there. A number of families are parking on Abbott Rd and walking down to the oval. These spots are 5 minutes only and are causing traffic and safety concerns.
