PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
FATHER’S DAY EVENTS THIS FRIDAY
1. P&F will be providing a coffee cart. It will be set up closer to the Kameruka entrance area so as not to impede on the basketball courts where we will have some handball games. Thank you kindly to the P&F!
2. We will have our usual Friday award assembly followed by a Kindergarten Father's Day presentation.
Thank you so much Mrs Jago and Ms Spano for all of your organisation and preparation leading up to the events of book week. The children had an amazing time throughout but especially on the day of the parade. The work you both do all year round is very much appreciated!
Playground behaviour
As a staff, we have taken a hard line with our students in regards to their behaviour on the playground. I have followed a relatively restorative approach for a while now but with increased behaviours, we had no choice but to amend some of the rules in place. Our focus is on interactions during games, language used, physical behaviours and wearing hats. We have clear guidelines around allocated areas for students to play and our expectations were clearly outlined to staff and students last week. In summary, students will be given one verbal reminder by the teacher on duty, if the behaviour continues, they will be asked to go to the office and miss their play time. After two visits to the office, parents will be contacted. At all times, our children are at the core of every decision that we make and while we may have to call you in line with our new way forward, we ask that you support us and trust in our professional judgment and discretion.
However, I am pleased to report that over the past week there have been notable improvements in playground behaviours, these sentiments are echoed by our staff also which is very pleasing.
May God bless all our families.

Executive Principal
