Principal’s Message

Dear Parents, A reminder that Friday, 3rd July is the last day of term 2. Students return to school on Tuesday, 21st July for the start of term 3.

Student Reports Parents will be emailed student reports on Friday. The reports are a shortened version of reports as we have had little time to teach and assess students. There are no grades on the reports. Teachers have written a Literacy, Numeracy and overall comments about your child’s work in class. Attendance information will also be missing from the report.

Term 3 Parent Survey Staff have been really impressed with the way children are independently walking into the school grounds, especially young students. Everyone is entering their classroom and unpacking their own bag. I understand how much parents like bringing their children into the school however some adult behaviour prevents our students from fully developing their independence. Students are more focused and ready to start in the morning. We have less students arriving late. Learning begins quickly in the morning. Students are ready to begin work and class routines are completed before the bell rings. Our students are working better and are more calm and ready to start straight after the bell rings in the morning.

Students are organising their own possessions. This has been a surprise to staff and has been an unexpected, positive outcome from the Covid 19 pandemic. Staff wish to keep these behaviours and I will be asking for input from parents. I will be sending out a survey to parents, via dojo, asking for suggestions that will allow our students to maintain these positive skills. This will be sent out tomorrow and parents have 10 days to reply with suggestions. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday over the term break. Rhonda Spencer Principal

Order some healthy and delicious food from

the Little Lunch Box!!

https://quickcliq.com.au

TLLB is open Thursday and Friday from week 2 until further notice. As it is still ok to take over the counter orders, we will accept orders if necessary. But, as parents are not allowed to enter the school premises at present, students will need to take their order to the canteen. We will continue with the usual way of operating - recess orders collected at the counter, lunch orders delivered to classrooms. Online ordering through Quickcliq is preferred. All hygiene standards will be adhered to and maintained. We will provide some fun weekly menu options over the coming weeks. Keep up to date with TLLB Facebook page, or through the newsletter.
