It seems hard to believe we are entering the second half of Term 1. It is good to report that the start of the 2016 academic year has been very positive with Wyvern students settling to their very full agendas with focus and determination. I am aware that this week has also been a very busy one for parents as well, with various learning showcases and parent teacher interviews. I thank you for your support and attendance at these events. A reminder that tomorrow at 8:30am, the Wyvern Deputies will be available to answer any questions parents may have about their areas of responsibility. Tomorrow, Ms Gray and Mr Baker will focus particularly on the transition boys have made into Year 3 and Year 5, although parents from all year groups are welcome to attend. Ms Gray will be in the library and Mr Baker will be in the flexible learning area on level 1.

CAR PARK

Thank you for observing our key safety rules when using the drive through facility which has led to improved efficiency in this area. I do remind parents that it is important not to arrive at the car park too early as this causes major congestion on Harrow Road. The earliest times you should arrive at the car park are:

• 3:05pm – K-2
• 3:20pm – Years 3-6

A further reminder that we are keen to maintain good relationships with our neighbours. As such I request that parents are mindful of the local residents of Stanmore especially those in the surrounding streets of Wyvern House. In particular please do not park across driveways. We have recently had a number of complaints from residents about this issue. 

We continue to work closely with Marrickville Council on all traffic issues around the campus.
