I would like to thank and acknowledge the P and F for organising the recent Father’s Day breakfast. It was a wonderful occasion for Wyvern dads to spend some time with their sons and other parents.

As mentioned in my last newsletter, 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. Please note that I cannot consider any requests made after the end of Term 3 deadline.

A final reminder that next week, 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
