A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Performance week has been fantastic in the Primary school over the course of the week. A huge well done to all the students who got involved and many thanks to our Music team for organising such a super event. We are looking forward to the Solo Festival on Saturday morning and I hope to see you there!
The Primary Leadership Team and I are pleased to invite you to our upcoming parent session called "Learning at Patana" on Tuesday, May 30th in the Primary Hall between 8:00-9:00am. This is a chance for us to reconnect, review the successes of the year, and exchange ideas for next year's parent workshops. Please join us for a delightful and laid-back event where we will serve tea, coffee and cake. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible! Have a wonderful weekend!Sarah McCormack

RSE
Our RSE lessons will continue next week with the physical and biological changes lesson.
This lesson will be taught in single biological sex groups, with children learning about the changes they will experience according to their biological sex.
Answering questions about sex and gender
Although sex and gender is not a does not form a major part of our Primary RSE curriculum, students may have questions.
Our view is that genuine questions deserve a response - but the response may need thinking through first.
If a student asks a question in school, we may provide a brief response depending on age and context - or we may suggest that the question is better answered at home.
Definitions of sex and gender can be confusing, so you may find these agreed definitions and responses helpful.
Here is a screencast of the RSE presentation. The videos referenced throughout the screencast are below.

Here are some suggestions for how to talk with your child .
