What a week!

What a jam-packed last week of term we have had!  Thanks to all of the families that attended our welcome BBQ and information evening on Tuesday.  It was great to hear our teachers speaking passionately about their classroom programs and exactly how the teaching of literacy and numeracy happens at Pender's.  Please see below for a link to the document "201 Literacy and Maths tips to help your child" that was highlighted on the night.

On Thursday afternoon this week we had an amazing community turnout to watch our students showing off the amazing circus skills that they have been learning across the term in our circus skills program.  I don't think have seen such a huge crowd in our school hall for quite a while! 

Thanks so much to the parents and friends that assisted with our BBQs and cake stall at the two community events. It was terrific to see so many people at the school catching up with each other and celebrating the great learning that has happened this term.

What a fantastic effort this year!  We had 147 students walk, ride, skate or scoot to school on Friday March 13th we handed out special stickers to  students.  Ride to School Day is a great activity that promotes healthy living and exercise to everyone in our community. Some of our student then surveyed the classes to work out the percentage of students in that class that rode to school on the day. See below for the results:

School Council 2015

6/3/2015

0 Comments

 

In the newsletter this week we outlined the process required for a School Council election for two available parent positions.  We would like to inform you that due to the withdrawal of one of the candidates there is no longer a need for an election as the number of nominees equals the number of positions available. As a result voting slips do not need to be returned to the school.  The two successful candidates are:  Lori-anne Sharp and Natasha Roberg.
