CALENDAR TERM 2 PRINCIPAL’S NEWS This week is Wellbeing Week! Wellbeing Week promotes an overall
awareness for the wide-ranging aspects of wellbeing, including
social, physical and emotional. It is designed to give students the
lifelong skills of looking after their own wellbeing, listening to their
own mind and body and having some down time when life becomes
too hectic. This week we will be having a whole school assembly via
Zoom and completing homework which has a wellbeing focus.
In Week 6 I had a lovely time reading to each
and every class in our school. I shared the book
Frankie the Galah by
Angela Robertson-
Buchanan with the K-2
classes and Culture by
Charles Hope with Year 3-6. Our students
really enjoy the experience and there was
much discussion afterwards. Reading has so
many benefits for all students.
I can now inform you of the outcome of the recent tender to
provide an Out of School Hours Care facility at Pagewood. The
tender has been awarded to Star Club Pty Ltd. In line with NSW
School Infrastructure procurement guidelines the review of
applications was made by an evaluation panel which included two
parent representatives from the school community and two
school representatives. The original start date was set for Monday
20 July, however, I am yet to confirm this in line with Licence
Agreement and School Infrastructure requirements. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank Bayside Council for the care they
have given our students as well as the support provided to
Pagewood families. Information about Star Club Pty Ltd is on their
website https://www.starclubschools.com.au/
Parent- teacher interviews will take place by telephone in Weeks 9
and 10. Each student brought home a survey for you to complete
regarding their learning from home which you should return to
school by Friday 19 June. This will form part of the telephone
interview conversation. Bookings opened on Tuesday 9 June, see
page 4 on how to book. If both parents would like an interview
either together or seperately please book and let the teacher know.

As we head into the winter months there will be students with flu-like symptoms. If your child has flu-like symptoms
please err on the safe side and keep them at home until they have seen the doctor. These measures will ensure that
we all stay safe and we can avoid the spread of COVID-19 and keep moving forward. As advised by the Chief Medical
Officer, social distancing and washing your hands remain the most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Social distancing measures will remain in place in schools and I would again like to thank the families who continue
to follow our drop off guidelines each morning, your cooperation is much
appreciated.
The new student toilet facilities are taking shape, very exciting!
A few parents have commented that they have enjoyed knowing more about what
their child is learning at school. If you would like to know more, the following link is
to the Parent Guide to the NSW Primary syllabuses.

Last week I had the pleasure of being read to myself! Students from K-6 brought their writing to show me. We have
such talented and hardworking students in our school. I really enjoy seeing the progression from Kindergarten writing
right up to Stage 3. It was great to read the feedback teachers had given to each student as to their achievement as
well as how they can improve their writing even more. Well done to these students!
