1 TERM Week 9 22nd September Message from the Principal Hard to believe it is the final day week of term where did it go?.well there are some wonderful new learning displays up in the studios, (check out the print making) so hopefully you get a chance to see them, lots of great science and art was taught this term, along with all the basics and of course swimming has kept us busy. I m sorry if it feels like you have been inundated with money requests recently with the mufti day, coin trail and loud shirt day. It is hard not to support causes which directly relate to our community. Next year some of our senior learners will be responsible for discerning what we support and organising a schedule to keep everything manageable Today we had a tour of school leaders from three different Canterbury Schools. People are very interested in seeing our new flexible learning spaces and how collaboration works at our school. I always emphasise the importance of high quality teaching, positive relationships and putting our learners needs first. It is a great feeling to be able to share the journey of our vision and values with others. Reminders this week Swimming: Tomorrow. Please make sure your child has their swimming togs and towel. Assembly: Assembly tomorrow Friday 23th Sept 2.30pm, Everyone Welcome Sushi: Families will now have the opportunity to order sushi for lunch every Tuesday from 11th October, check out the instructions in GROW news later in the newsletter Loud Shirt Day: Children can wear a loud shirt tomorrow to support cochlear implants but bottom half of the uniform needs to worn please.
