Welcome to Week 2,
A big thank you to all the families that came along to the parent information session last Wednesday. It was great to have the whole 3-6 community together and to be able to pass on the information collectively in one night.
We have received some really positive feedback from the evening and we are grateful for all of you that have reached out to share your thoughts on the way it was run, which was different to previous years. As ever, we are reflecting on how it went with a view to making things even smoother for next year and we welcome any feedback, positive or constructive you may have.
Last week, we noticed that there were some issues at the end of the school day in relation to congestion in the school driveway with cars queuing for the kiss and ride and blocking the exit road from the school.
We understand that the layout is difficult, especially as there are parents collecting students from the secondary school as well but ask that you could please avoid blocking the drive by waiting at the appropriate place on the turning circle. There is signage there to direct you if you are unsure.
A gentle reminder that tomorrow is photo day for years 3-6. Please ensure your child comes to school in their formal uniform and not the PE uniform with the exception of 6O & 6L who will have the opportunity to change into their formal uniform before their photos.
Here’s a look at the week ahead:

10 February K-2 School Photo Day

Wishing you a wonderful week,
Andrew Johnston and Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Candidates need to be available for potentially all three trial dates.
There will be representatives from the WACA to assist in the selection process.
Participants will take part in net batting and bowling and some fielding activities. It is not essential that children who are trialling play for a current club, but this would be an advantage as the format will be similar to games that are currently played.
