A very warm welcome to Year 5!
We have had a wonderful start to the year with Year 5 students learning the expectations and routines. We look forward to meeting you next week for our Meet the Teacher presentations.
A note from the principal
A very warm welcome back to the new term and a new academic year! It has been such a pleasure to reconnect with our students and families this past week, and we are excited about the fantastic year ahead.
This year, we are placing even greater
emphasis on our guiding statements to foster positive learning behaviours and
attitudes centred around the principles of SAFE – CURIOUS – KIND. We
introduced this concept in our first Parent Partnership workshop on Tuesday (video
and slides available on Firefly) and we will be learning more as we go!
Looking forward to seeing you at our ‘Meet the Teacher’ sessions next week and
to a wonderful year together.

Tennis Court Opening Ceremony
Dear Parents
This coming Saturday we have the opening ceremony of the new tennis centre.
Following on from this we will have an open morning for the Patana community.
We will have activities set up with tennis coaches on court ranging from a ball machine exercise to a fast serve game plus mini tennis set up.
These activities will start from around 10am and will finish at 1pm and no registration is required.
All are welcome and hope to see some of you of then.
Regards
Dan Ahl
Head Tennis Coach

Playground use before and after school
Students are not permitted to use any of the climbing or play equipment before 7:30 a.m.
There is no staff supervision in any play area after 2:30.
The accompanying adult is therefore responsible for the safe supervision of the child.
We encourage parents and family employees to take children straight home at the end of the school day.
We are a NUT FREE school. When ordering birthday treats, please ensure that there are no nuts or nut products (such as Nutella or peanut butter) used.
- Individual treats can be brought into school with your child in the morning.
- Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
- Parents can join in the celebrations.

PE
Students should come to school in their PE kit on PE days. If they have swimming for the first lesson, they can wear their swim kit under their uniform. If they have swimming later in the day, we ask that they DO NOT wear their swim kit to school.
Please ensure that your child brings their uniform with them to get changed into after their PE lessons.
Blogs

Events In The World
You can keep up to date with current events around the world by watching Newsround, an age appropriate news show. Being aware of current events will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class, and it is an ideal opportunity for you to model discussing your opinions and using experiences to draw connections between events and people.
