Learning Conferences We will be trialling a new format this year, whereby students will not be attending classes for the day but will need to attend their learning conference. Learning Conferences will be held throughout the day on Wednesday 1st August from 8:30am to 5:45pm. These conferences will provide parents, students and teachers with the chance to come together and share and celebrate the learning that has been happening at school. As parents you may have questions about what you have read in your child s report which you can ask at this time. Students will be eager to show off work that they have completed this year. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to get together and celebrate the first six months of 2018! Bookings for the conferences are made online via www.schoolinterviews.com.au. Further information about how to book can be found later in the newsletter. There will be no school for students on Wednesday 1st August. Student Absences As of the start of Term 3 all absences must be notified on the day of absence. If a child is not at school, the school is required to contact parents/carers about the absence. With the colder weather many students (and staff) are getting sick, If your child is not coming to school it is important to notify the school before the day or as soon as possible on the day of absence. There are a number of ways that this can be done; Email your child s teacher Message your child s teacher using SeeSaw Email the school s email Phone the office All absences need to be recorded and with the correct reason for the absence. We thankyou for your assistance with this. Congratulations Congratulations to Meg Neagle (6A) who competed in the State Cross Country championships in Melbourne yesterday.
