Dear Parents/Carers
As you may be aware, we celebrated Safer Internet Day last week. The online world is very much a part of our young people’s world however, it is important to navigate this world with them to keep them safe when online.
Here is the link to the e-Safety Commissioner’s website https://www.esafety.gov.au/ for more information. This website provides many activities and information for parents, kids, young people etc. We also attach to this post a “chatterbox activity” to start the chat with your child about online safety.
As always, thank you for your support as we partner together to educate children to stay safe online.
Kind regards
Madame Pilote
Scholastic Book Club
The due date for the first Scholastic issue is Friday 17 February.
Term 1 Running Club
All students in Kindy to Year 6 are encouraged to join Miss Uglow on the Primary Green every Thursday morning to run as many laps around the Green as you can! No matter what your ability is, come on down to earn House points, improve your fitness, build your confidence and run your way towards a healthier lifestyle.
Each participating individual will be given their own Running Club lapathon card to count their laps every week. Runners will earn 1 Running Club House Point for every lap they complete around the Primary Green. Running Club lapathon cards must be left with Miss Uglow at the end of each session.
