PLANNING WEEK In the final week of term one we will be operating
on a modified timetable as part of planning week. Instead of
students participating in their specialist programs throughout the
course of the week, these classes will be timetabled to occur on
one day, thereby allowing all of the teachers at each level to be
released. When
teachers are released for the day during planning week, they
will spend the entire day working collaboratively to plan an
overview of the curriculum program for next term.
This approach to our term by term curriculum planning, helps to
ensure a heightened degree of consistency in our program delivery
across all levels of the school.
Bikes & Scooters Many children ride bikes, skateboards and
scooters to school each day. All bikes and scooters must be stored
in the designated areas. Please ensure your child has a chain and a
lock. All children who ride a bike or scooter must wear a helmet
which is a requirement by the Government . The school regularly
reminds all children about wearing helmets for their safety. All
bikes, scooters, skateboards, rip sticks and helmets must be
labelled, with your childs name and class. Children are reminded
they must walk their bike, scooter, skateboard or rip stick to and
from the school gates. No bikes are to be brought through the
school buildings and we request, where possible, that Scooters are
also not walked through the building.
