NEWS | From The Principal

REMOTE AND FLEXIBLE LEARNING OR ONSITE

As of yesterday’s announcement the lockdown has now been extended until midnight on Tuesday 27th July so at this stage we are set to resume regular onsite learning on Wednesday 28th July. In the meantime teachers will be checking in daily. Regardless of how your child is learning during the current lockdown, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s classroom teacher, the school office (someone is in everyday) or me directly Suzanne.Kinnersly@education.vic.gov.au if you have any concerns. We are all here to help.

SWPBS (SCHOOL WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT)

We are continuing our work to acknowledge positive behaviour in all school settings. In support of the Golden Feathers – rewards which reflect effort in the areas of Care for Self, Care for Others and Care for the Environment, we are now using Class Dojo – an online system which gives immediate positive acknowledgement and adds to the tally of Golden Feathers. The feedback from students and teachers about Class Dojo has been very enthusiastic.

JUST BRASS

We were able to have the first sessions of brass lessons last Monday, before this latest lockdown. It’s very exciting to have this program available to us – unfortunate that we may face restrictions before we can resume again.

CROSS COUNTRY SUCCESS

It was great to hear that Daisy in 5L did so well at the next level of Cross Country competition. Representing Winters Flat PS she finished in the top 25, even after stopping for three minutes to assist a fellow runner who had fallen during the race. Congratulations Daisy – an excellent example of ‘Care for Others’.

2022 ENROLMENT REMINDER FOR SIBLINGS

If you have a child enrolling for Prep next year, please come and collect an enrolment pack from the office as soon as possible. We are having many enquiries for 2022 and we are keen to secure places for families already here at school.

STAFFING – TERM 3

Michael Rogan is replacing Sam Milner for PE classes on Thursdays for Term 3 and will resume when on-site learning is back to normal.
