Playground Changes
We have been very lucky to have such beautiful weather in our first week back at school. Children have been working with their classroom teachers to become familiar with our new play areas and break times.
As mentioned in previous communication we have moved to split play breaks which are outlined below. We have worked with our P&C to ensure canteen and lunch orders are delivered to your child’s classroom at the relevant time.
9:00 Yuumma |
Recess Senior 10:30 - 11:00am Junior 11:00 - 11:30am |
Lunch Senior 1:00 - 1:30pm Junior 1:30 - 2:00pm |
Due to the changes in eating times, teachers have been adjusting their timetables to ensure students are not feeling hungry. Our senior children are now having fruit at noon and junior students are being encouraged to consume more food at recess time. We plan to provide more information to families during parent information nights after we have had a few weeks to trial different systems.
Play areas have also been adjusted as seen below. Teachers are using this week to take their students on boundary walks. We have been busy purchasing and allocating resources to different areas to ensure students have lots to do.
Thanks to Kim who is currently painting handball courts in our Handful of Happiness courtyard which will open as another area for students to play in during their breaks next week.
In the event of wet weather before school we are now asking that your child goes straight to their classrooms and not the school hall. Each classroom has an area outside where they can shelter from the rain. Classroom doors will be open at 8:45am unless we experience severe weather conditions. Teachers will discuss this with their students, however, we ask that you please remind your child of this new arrangement.
