From the Principal

Dear Parents and Families,

There was a magnificent turn out to the Di Wilcox Magic Coat presentation. There are some subsidised workshops on offer soon that will give you specific strategies to help your child with worry, anxiety, friendship issues or bullying. You need to book yourself in and enrolment information will be in this newsletter.

These workshops align with our changing student behaviour policy that aims to help students improve their self-discipline.

Teachers are in the middle of completing reports so I would like to remind you that a ‘C’ grade indicates that your child is progressing satisfactorily and that you should be pleased with their progress. Receiving a ‘B’ or ‘A’ means that your child is performing above what is expected. Also, in receiving those grades this semester does not guarantee getting the same grade next semester.

Regards,

Dr Tony Beswick
Principal
