A reminder that on Thursday 13 September at 6:30pm, the Wyvern P and F are generously sponsoring an important event for all parents of boys in Kindergarten to Year 6. The theme of the evening is “Raising Boys in a Digital World”, to be presented by Dr Kristy Goodwin. More information about Kristy Goodwin can be found at: http://drkristygoodwin.com/about/

I encourage you to attend this important workshop; please RSVP for this event at wyvern@newington.nsw.edu.au

I thank the P and F for their wonderful contribution to Back to Newington Day. The family friendly stalls provided by our parents greatly assisted in making the day a special one for the whole community.

The process for allocating students to next year’s classes is thorough and starts in Term 4. As part of this, some parents may feel that they can assist by offering additional information about their son. Should you wish to express a view about the style of classroom management you think may best match your son (e.g. particularly nurturing or greater structure, etc.) I invite you to contact me via email before the end of this term. We approach each year as a new start for the boys, hence, we do not automatically consider requests made in previous years. However, should there be significant information from past requests, please do contact me again. Requests for particular teachers, or for a teacher based on gender, will not be considered. Whilst we do welcome parental input, the school has the final say in decisions regarding class placement for 2019.
