Welcome Back

It only seems like yesterday that we were all saying goodbye for the holidays. We do hope that you managed to get some family time with the children and were able to relax and perhaps enjoy some of your interests or perhaps a holiday. Even though we seemed to lose an hour by putting the clock forward, it is now nice that we are getting the extra light in the evenings. We have another action packed term of events... the last one of 2019. For at least the first half of the term there will be a big focus on classroom learning with fewer extracurricular events happening. We will be keeping you informed of all events as they come up and please be assured that if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask and we will do our best to answer.

Chess - Term 4

Chess continues in Term 4 and all families doing chess are required to re-enrol for Term 4. An enrolment form is attached to this newsletter. This will be a 9 week chess term with Chess continuing to the December 11. All students even new students are welcome to join.

We Need Your Opinions - Tell Them from Me

So we can make our school a better place, we need your help in providing us some feedback on your views as a parent at St Peters. This survey called Teel Them From Me is also used by the Department of Education to understand how its community feels about its schools. This years survey is now active and can be answered at the link: 2019 Parent Partners in Learning Survey

Assemblies

Assemblies for Term 4 start next week and will be held in week’s 2, 4, 6 and 8. There will be no week 10 assembly due to Presentation Day. As usual, awards that are traded will be presented at this assembly.

However, for a certificate to be included, it will be necessary for it to be placed in the box in the office by the latest Friday lunch time. Any certificates placed after this time will be included in following assembly. Please do not ask Mrs Ross to sneak your certificates in on the Monday. She is too polite to refuse but this does cause disruption to her busy work schedule.
