As we move further into Term 2, it has been wonderful to see students transition so positively into their winter uniform. Thank you to families for your support in ensuring children arrive each day neat, prepared and ready to learn. A gentle reminder that girls wearing the tunic or pants are required to wear their neck tie as part of the winter uniform.
Across the Junior School, we are continuing to focus on creating calm, purposeful classrooms where students can give their best attention to learning. Managing distractions is an important part of this. We ask families to please ensure that toys, novelty items and fidget-like toys are not brought to College unless they are a documented adjustment within a student’s learning plan. This helps maintain a learning environment where all students can concentrate and thrive.
You may have seen recent announcements from the NSW Government regarding 1:1 Numeracy testing in schools. Our Junior School is already well placed in this area, with a robust system of numeracy assessment and data tracking that helps teachers monitor progress, identify needs and provide targeted support for every child.
Finally, I look forward to seeing many of you at our Junior School Athletics Carnival on Monday. It promises to be a wonderful day of participation, encouragement, House cheer and a strong sense of community as students support one another across the events.
