A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
This week may have been short, but it was
certainly full of learning.
On Tuesday, we had a wonderful parent workshop presented by Mr. Max Hopwood on
creating playable games. I was thrilled to see our students enthusiastically
supporting their parents and demonstrating the characteristics of effective
learning in the process. If you missed this workshop - we have more engaging
sessions planned, including Ms. Rachel Stead's music curriculum session next
Tuesday from 8am to 9am.
Today, we celebrated Smile Day, a meaningful event in which we learn about and fundraise for Operation Smile. Our students worked collaboratively on a Smile Day mosaic, designing their own tiles based on what brings them joy. I encourage you to take a look at this beautiful mosaic displayed in our Primary snack bar area.
Lastly, we are all looking forward to our annual Fun Day on Saturday, which our fantastic PTG has been working tirelessly to organise. I will be there in the afternoon and I hope to see you all there too!
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our Patana community.
Sarah McCormack

Events around 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.
