From The Principal Week 7
Dear Families,
Free Parenting Courses
Parenting is likely the most challenging thing we will do in our lives. It is also the most important. A central goal of parenting is to help our children become emotionally resilient people. For some help or guidance in this, I recommend this free, online course: https://www.triplep-parenting.net.au/au/free-parenting-courses/fear-less-triple-p-online/
Learning Journey - Tuesday 5th September 3.00 – 4.30pm.
Next Tuesday afternoon, our classrooms will be open for all family members to visit and see what has been happening in your child’s classroom this term.
Your child will take you on a journey, sharing their learnings so far, as well as some of their challenges. Class teachers will be present to say hello. If you think you might need a one-on-one conversation with your child’s teacher, please speak with them to arrange a mutually convenient time.
We hope to see many families visiting us next Tuesday from 3.00pm – 4.30pm.
Grandparents Day – Friday 8th September 1.15 – 2.45pm
We are excited to invite all SCA Grandparents to share some time with us. Grandparents are invited to the School Hall from 1:15pm, where the Parent Network will host a shared cuppa and cake.
From about 1.20, children will meet with their Grandparent/s for lunch time (BYO). We are hoping it’s a sunny day for a shared picnic. (Please feel free to bring a rug.)
From 2.00pm, Grandparents are invited to visit classrooms to complete a small activity and share a learning journey with their grandchild.
If grandparents will be taking their child out of school before the normal end of day, with the approval of parents of course, they will need to sign out via the Front Office.
We hope to see many grandparents visiting us next Friday from 1.15pm – 2.45pm.
Book Week
It was great to see the buzz about books so evident at SCA last week. Thanks to all the students, staff and families who got into the spirt of things, especially through our Book Fair and dress up day. I extend a special thanks to Mrs Katherine Austin, our wonderful Teacher Librarian, for all of her planning and organisation.
Fete – Friday 17 November
Excitement is already building with our Fete coming up later in the year. Please set it aside in your calendar, knowing it promises to be a fun-filled family afternoon. (Of course if you can also help in the lead-up, you can share in the pride of contributing to our great SCA community.)
It was once said…
“Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.” – Alex Haley
Blessings to you and your family.
