Dear Parents,

School reports for semester one were sent home with students on Friday. If you have not received your child’s report I suggest you look in their bag and if you still can’t locate it please contact your child’s teacher. I ask all parents to read the accompanying notes, which will give you a better understanding of the A – E grading system used.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s grades you are again asked to contact your child’s teacher to arrange a meeting. All grades are based on assessment data collected by the teacher.

Next week at assembly, we will be presenting Academic Achievement and Academic Effort Awards for the second half of the term. Due to the high number of staff absences, the recipient’s names will be sent out on Szapp early next week.

I look forward to seeing the Years One and Two musical next Thursday at 2pm. I know the children have been busy rehearsing and are keen to perform in front of their parents.

The last day of school is pyjama day with students asked to bring a gold coin donation for the pleasure of being out of uniform. Please ensure your child wears warm winter style pyjamas.

Maths Award

Congratulations to Selina Li who was last week’s winner. Today’s problem is a lead up to the holiday challenge that will be in next week’s newsletter.

Magic Squares

On the grid below, you need to place the numbers 1 – 9 so that each column, row and diagonal adds up to the same total.

God Bless
