PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Our Program and Student Review (PSR) meetings will be

held next Thursday, 23rd

March, commencing at 2.00 pm. I

encourage all families to confirm an interview time with your

child’s pastoral homeroom teacher.

These PSR meetings are central to the evaluation of student progress and the future

planning of programs to suit student needs. Attendance at these interviews

enhances the collaboration between parents and staff. This partnership is an

essential ingredient in the success of students at Emerson School.

Classes will finish at 1.45pm (Middle School) and 2.00pm (Jnr/Snr School) on PSR

day. Please expect Ventura buses to arrive one hour earlier in the afternoon on

Thursday, 23rd

March, 2017.

Value of the Fortnight

We will be studying the value, Forgiveness, for the next 2 weeks.

Our recent studies on the value, RESPECT, have taught us that we are all responsible for our own behaviour.

Sometimes we make a mistake and choose to do the wrong thing. If we are genuinely sorry for what we have done,

and we forgive ourselves, then the situation or mistake can be a valuable learning experience.

To show forgiveness to others takes courage and patience. Often we feel angry or sad when someone does the

wrong thing by us. It is easy to want to get even and want revenge. People who show forgiveness are able to allow

these people to have opportunity to learn from their mistake. They have the power to help others become better

people. Forgiveness allows everyone to move forward.
