From the Acting Principal
Cross Country
A huge congratulations this week to our LSSSA Cross Country team. Winning 5 out of 8 age groups Norwood Primary School placed 1st overall in the B division event. A representative team will be travelling to Symons Plains on Tuesday 25th of June to compete in the state championships.
Reports
Our mid-year reports will be sent home on Friday 21st of June. Teachers have spent many hours writing and editing reports and I would like to thank them for their hard work and the quality of what they have written. Parent teacher interviews are being held the following week with all families encouraged to come and speak with your child’s teacher. Please remember to make a booking.
Emotional Regulation
During this term as a whole school we have had a focus on emotional regulation. Staff have been undertaking Professional Learning around trauma and self-regulation and Dr Jane Foster has been working with students and teachers across the school, further unpacking the language of MyTERN. Our work will continue throughout the year with the aim to further embed Restorative Practice and Respectful Behaviour across our school.
Uniform
As the winter weather has arrived we are seeing an increase in students wearing jumpers and other items which are not part of our uniform. Our uniform policy is that school jumpers are worn with additional coats or layers able to be worn outside on cold days. Coats are required to be removed inside as all classrooms have adequate heating and are at an optimal temperature for learning. We very much appreciate our parent support around our students wearing their uniform and would also appreciate a ‘winter reminder’ at home.
Winterfest
A huge thank you this week to our hard working Winterfest team. The work which goes into organizing such an event takes many hours of co-ordination and effort. Thank you! We are looking forward to June 21st!
