Please be aware that we have a number of bugs around at present. Given that life is busy both at school and at home, we would like to thank those families who are mindful of people becoming run down during very busy times and taking action as needed.

Thank you, also to those families who are monitoring to ensure that illness is real as opposed to “maths is a bit hard… and I don’t feel like it today.”

This week we have also spoken about choosing not to be the person who teases or “stirs the pot” in order to cause hurt to someone else for fun. It can be tempting to do this, however a better way to connect might be to invite the person having a tough day to join your game.

Enrolments for 2020 – if you have a child beginning school in 2020, please take the time to collect an enrolment form, complete, and return to school. Completing this process early will help us with planning for 2020 and mean that there is one less job for you to worry about as the busy end of year period comes about.

Changes to routine - Thank you to those families who are keeping us informed when children are absent from school, or there are changes to the regular routine. Please be aware that we are required to keep the rolls up to date and that thorough explanation for absences enable us to do so.

In closing this week, I ask that you keep Alexander and his family in your prayers over the coming days as he recovers from his accident.
