Term 2 off to a flying start

Busy, busy, busy and it's only the second week of a nine week term.

This week we have the normal run of meetings, work experience students, six students at an overnight Lake Burrendong camp, a visit from our relieving School Education Director, our Cross Country carnival on Wednesday, three days of lessons on "Healthy Ears" presented by ladies from our hearing team, a Year 4 Red Hill excursion, a Mother's Day stall, and a Stage 3 Yarn-Up for parents.

We welcome Mrs Dee Keirle on Kinder Blue replacing Miss Nicole Matheson. Nicole was offered a permanent position with the Department which was something most casual teachers wait anxiously to have offered to them.

Also returning to our staff following maternity leave is Mrs Jenny Grayling. Jenny is returning part-time and will share with Simone Campbell who has taken their Year 1 class from the commencement of the school year.

Our two school development days last Monday and Tuesday were used to look at an introduction to a National School Improvement Tool, system changes and directions in our Positive Behaviour for Learning, learning about hearing loss in students with Otitis Media, upgrading our training in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and anaphylaxis health care procedures and a comprehensive look at the new National Curriculum for English which becomes mandatory for implementation in 2014.
