Manners Matter

This term at Assemblies we are focusing on manners through an ongoing series called “Manners Matter”. With the assistance of some Year 6 boys we are using fictitious characters to assist the boys in developing their manners. The characters will be Sir Thank You, Dr Excuse Me, Professor Please and Captain Courtesy. Over the last two weeks we have focused on the students ‘putting their hands up in class’ when they want to speak. We hope that you might begin to see evidence of these manners at home. We appreciate your support with this initiative.

Student-led Conferences

Last week we launched our inaugural Student-led Conferences. After some preparation in class the boys rose to the occasion, speaking about their learning with confidence, maturity and enthusiasm. It was very encouraging to see parents so involved in their son’s education. Thanks for your participation. We have received lots of positive feedback about the event. We plan on making Student-led Conferences an annual event as they form an important component of our Assessment and Reporting Policy.

Enrolments and Departures

The end of the year always brings change, including movement in our school community. We are currently interviewing to fill vacancies for next year and conducting interviews for Kindy 2014. If you know people who are interested in joining our school community now is the time for them to contact us so that they don’t miss out.

Just a reminder that families are required to give at least one term’s notice if they are intending on leaving.
