Reconciliation Week Breakfast

Thank you to all our families who braved the cold last Friday morning to attend our Reconciliation Week breakfast. It was a lovely event where our students and families enjoyed some wattle seed pancakes and lemon myrtle tea. To accompany this, Deb, our teacher librarian, had a range of indigenous inspired books for our families to read while enjoying their breakfast.

Parent/Teacher Discussions and Semester 1 Reports

As we draw closer to the end of Semester 1, we will be conducting our parent/teacher discussions during weeks 8 and 9. Hopefully you have already booked a time with your child's teacher through the link we sent out on Seesaw.  This is an important time where we discuss the progress of your child and look forward to focus areas for Semester 2. Semester 1 reports will be emailed out on Friday 5 July and will also be available in Parent Portal. 

Flu and Gastro

We have seen a high number of students presenting at school with flu and gastro like symptoms. It is that time of the year where we are seeing a spike in children and staff being sick and we kindly ask that you work with the school in the best interests of everyone's health. If your child is sick please keep them at home. If we contact you during the day because your child is unwell please support us in coming and picking your child up and taking them to a GP if needed. 

We absolutely want what you want, healthy kids learning at school. Sending sick kids to school is not good for anyone. Let's work together to keep our school as healthy as possible.

P&C Special Lunch Order Day + Bunnings Fundraiser 

Keep an eye out for our information about our P&C Special Lunch order day which will happen on the last Friday of this term. 

Our P&C have also secured a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser and we would love as many parents to help out as possible. Information about this is in this newsletter.

Athletics Carnival

On Friday the 24th of May, Evatt Primary children participated in the 2024 athletics carnival. Years K-1 students were able to participate in 70m track and novelty events. Students from years 2-6 could  participate in the events:  70m, 100m, 200m and 800m track events. They also participated in non-track events like long jump, shot put and discus. Kids ages 7-13 were able to participate in the final track race. (If they made top 4 in their track races). Although, only ages 8-13 (Years 3-6) are able to go represent Evatt at the Belconnen carnival. The house group Webb won, Copland and Clancy tied and Dixon came 4th place. We hope to see you all at next year's athletics carnival.
