Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Term 4! We will continue to follow COVID-19 restrictions and look forward to a suc-
cessful term. Term 4 excursions and incursions will go ahead but new guidelines will need to be

Our Year 6/7 graduation ceremony will be held at Flaxmill School in the gymnasium. The ceremony

have a celebratory dinner at Café Primo.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 restrictions the following guidelines need to be followed:-
Graduating students can only invite a maximum of 2 guests. To control attendee numbers,
we will be asking guests to RSVP to the event. We must have an attendee list with contact
details to enable contact tracing if necessary. Department for Education COVID-19 forms
will need to be filled out on the night.
Staff attending the event has been limited to year 6 and 7 classroom teachers and the lead-
ership team only.
Students at the dinner will have individually served/plated meals.

Recycling Facts from Room 13
8.2 million tonnes of Australia’s food waste ends up in landfill
Australians produce 400 kilograms of waste per person each year
Recycling just one tonne of paper saves 13 trees
Aluminium products are 100 % recyclable
Reducing our plastic consumption is critical to reducing plastic pollution
Glass bottles can take 4000 to one million years to decompose
2.5 million plastic bottles are thrown away every hour in America
Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth 4 times
Cardboard can be recycled up to 8 times
End of Year Concert
Unfortunately our end of year concert is cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Students will participate in various school
based activities to celebrate their successes.
We understand the disappointment these guidelines may cause families. The above restrictions need to be followed to ensure
the health and safety of our school community. We would like to thank all families for their continued support and understand-
ing.
Class Placement 2021
Our class placement process has started. Thank you to the families who have submitted a class placement slip. Every year we
organise the following year’s class groupings to meet the learning needs of students. When planning classes, consideration is
given to estimated enrolments, Reception intakes, class numbers and gender balance. When allocating students to classes,
teachers take into account peer groups, special needs, learning styles and balance of class groupings. Every effort is made to
place students with at least one supportive peer that they work well with. Teachers will be facilitating a process where students
nominate 3 supportive peers.
We ask parents not to request a specific teacher, our staffing will not be finalised until 2021.
Please let us know if your children will not be attending Flaxmill next year.
