10. Library Corner – Ms Rutera:

Hello, we have come to the end of Term 3 and lots done, mostly in sounding and blending, spelling word blending 2 and 3 letters and reading.

I am glad to see our students’ progress and continue to encourage parents and guardians to emphasise reading at home after hours, weekends and during holidays. This will get them psyched up to look forward to reading in the library at school, because as children, whatever they like doing at home they apply the same in school! Anyway all borrowing stopped as of 14th September 2021 so if your child still has some library books at home please do return them to the library for use next term.

Thank you.

Ms Rutera – Library Teacher

11. Registrar – Mrs Tione:

Reminder notes for Term 4.
Please settle your child/children’s school fees before they come back to school in Term 4.
All fees including transport and drop offs must be paid before school starts.
If you have not received your invoice please see Mrs Tione as soon as possible.
Remember to wear a mask and stay safe at all times.

Stay safe and God bless.

Mrs Tione – Registrar
