End of Term 1
We've nearly made it to the end and I've had a blast, so far, working with the kids in Maths Club and the grown up kids in H&S, and am looking forward to continuing next term.
However, before we close down next Friday we still have the student led parent teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. School finishes at 12pm on both of those days and the buses will not be running early. Please make arrangements to pick your child/ren up or have them collected. If you haven't already booked your meeting, pop into, or call, the office and book it ASAP.
This is your opportunity to find out what's happening with your child and their learning. If you or they have any worries, questions or ideas, you have this chance to share them with their teacher/s. It is also your childs' chance to share with you their efforts and accomplishments. Make the most of it. As they get older it will not be cool to be seen with us (or so I've been assured).
Don't forget to check, or have your kids check, the lost property trolley for clothes and assorted missing items. Even if they think they've lost nothing, you may be surprised. The trolley is located outside the hall main doors or everything will spread on the benches between Room 1 and the hall.
Don't forget there are no Friday Treats tomorrow so pack your kids lunches!
And last but by no means, least, have you registered for Lunch Online for next term? Click on the link and follow the prompts. You can click on "School" to see the menu, or "Families" to register and order. The Adult Menu is only available to staff members. The Prim & Int (Primary and Intermediate) Manu is for students.
**Feel free to share these posts with your friends, and invite them to follow, for information about the school and the school community. If you have information you would like to share, please message me and I will see what I can do.**

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
