Prep Teachers
It's hard to believe that we're already past the half way point of Term One, although our Preps have already grown so much and are doing a fantastic job! This week has been a huge week for our Preps with a full five day school week, PMP, reading groups, Show and Tell, Mathseeds homework and school assemblies all starting, as well as our first Student of the Week awards. With all the action of the week, our Preps will be very tired and have definitely earned an extra day off with the Labour Day Public Holiday Monday. Next week brings more firsts with our first school photos, meeting our Grade Six buddies and our first dress up day.
Here are a few reminders to help make sure we finish the term strong:
Ensure your child has everything they need for school every day (check the post below)
Read with your child every day and sign their reading log book (don't forget the heart words!)
Make sure your child completes their Reading Eggs and Mathseeds homework every week
Talk to your child about their day and ask them what their favourite part of the day was
Make sure they're getting plenty of rest, they might be ready to go to bed a bit earlier at the moment
Ensure your child has a healthy lunch and snack for school so they are fueled for a big day of learning (don't forget a great breakfast)
Check in with your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns
Make sure you're checking Xuno, our Prep Newsletter and School Newsletter to stay abreast of the latest updates and information
We thank you for all of your support at this very important stage of your child's schooling. By having a great start to Prep, your child will be well prepared to embrace all the challenges and opportunities that school brings.
It is important for your child to arrive at school with everything they need for the day. Here's a handy checklist for you and your child to use to make sure they have everything before leaving the house in the morning:
school bag
satchel
school hat
lunch box & drink bottle
name tag
library bag (on library days)

We have thoroughly enjoyed some one-on-one time with our students the past two days but we were so excited to welcome our new Prep classes today for their first day of primary school! We loved seeing all the smiling faces of our students (and families) as they started their Templeton journey this morning and we hope they all came home with lots of great stories from their first day at school!
We are looking forward to our first full day on Monday, with specialists beginning for our students. A reminder to please ensure you have sent to school satchels, library bags, art smocks, workbooks, colouring books (all named please) and tissues, and don't forget hats!
