Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

The weather is warming up and we are excited to be able to spend more time outdoors. Term 4 finds us having more frequent whole school assemblies, as well as taking the learning outdoors. Many times, a class will be reading outside, doing sport, having a picnic or doing some art. The benefits of nature are amazing to say the least!

End of Year Celebrations

This year, instead of our annual school concert, we will hold 'End of Year Celebrations'. It will be a showcase of talent, performances, art and class work. The students are very proud of their art work and cannot show their parents. Please make a note of 26th of November in your calendars between 2:30 and 4pm.

D.E.A.R

We have seen the love of reading really come through this year with our D.E.A.R (Drop Everything and Read) Program. Students have special allocated time to read every day for 15 minutes after recess. This had made a great impact on reading for enjoyment skills in our students!

Sun Smart

Our Term 1 and 4 Sun Smart Policy is that ALL students must wear a Sirius College school hat while engaging in play in the outdoors. Compared with adults, children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV radiation and have less capacity to make informed decisions. Children rely on adults to provide resources and reminders for sun protection, especially as UV radiation peaks during school hours (noon). Please ensure your child has a school hat at school every day. The uniform shop is selling the wide brim hats for $15, caps are no longer being sold.
