A big welcome back to term 3. We hope that our students and families managed some quality time together over the break. We have enjoyed hearing the stories from our students over the past few days about the holiday adventures and we look forward to a great term of learning ahead.
We’re thrilled with the overwhelming response to our Mental Maths sessions with resident mathemagicians Mika and Mario. Spots have filled up incredibly quickly!
Sessions will begin next Monday afternoon for registered students and their parents in K/1/2. These will run each week for 30 mins from our library.
The sessions will be super fun and support our maths automaticity skills.
If you missed out this time, don’t worry, additional sessions will be offered later this term. Stay tuned for more details!
I’d like to warmly encourage all families, and their friends to come along to the upcoming P&C Trivia Night on Saturday 23 August.
Our P&C has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure it’s a fantastic evening for everyone. Events like this are a great way to build connections and celebrate the strong sense of community we share at Evatt Primary School.
To help with planning, please send through your RSVPs as soon as possible. Let’s make it a night to remember!
More details are shared in this newsletter.
We kindly remind families to avoid approaching teachers for information sharing just before or during class time. At Evatt Primary School, we value every minute of learning, and it’s important that teaching time remains uninterrupted.
If you need to pass on a message, please do so through the front office. If you'd like to have a longer conversation with your child’s teacher, you're very welcome to arrange a meeting, either by emailing the teacher directly or contacting the front office to book a time.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us prioritise learning.
A timely reminder that it's hats back on Friday of Week 2 (1 August). Even though it's still on the chilly side, we are fast approaching Spring and 1 August is when our UV period increases to a high level. Please make sure your child has a sun safe hat with their name on their ha
