Welcome to Week 10!
We hope this newsletter finds you feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting adventure as we kick off Term 4! We warmly welcome both our returning students and those joining our school community for the first time. This term promises to be filled with opportunities for growth, discovery and achievement.
As we start this new term, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents and families for your support and involvement in your child’s education. Your partnership is essential in fostering a nurturing environment where our students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Transition into Term Four:
We are incredibly proud of how our students have shown remarkable enthusiasm in returning to their routines, highlighting their impressive capacity for growth. We applaud them for embracing new challenges and settling into their learning routines with such determination.
Celebrating Achievements and Progress:
We celebrate not only the high achievements but also the ongoing progress of our students. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a meaningful milestone in their educational journey. We encourage our teachers to recognise and appreciate each student’s efforts, fostering a growth mindset that motivates them to reach even greater heights. Please take the time to celebrate these milestones with your children, regardless of their size.
Term Planning:
Academic communication for this term will include posting term overviews on Seesaw, progress conversations prior to reporting for students receiving D grades and formal reports. This term, staff have many exciting learning activities and events planned, including excursions and incursions, sporting carnivals, prayer service, assemblies, leadership day and camp overnight stay, spelling bee competition, Grandparents morning, Remembrance Day service, Christ the King Day and our annual Carols Evening. Amongst other learning opportunities, our Year 6 students will graduate from primary school at the end of the term!
Term Dates:
Please make sure you have made note of the dates during this term. We conclude Term 4 on Friday 6 December, 2024. Please note, that Friday 8 November, 2024 (Week 5) is a Pupil Free Day for our students. Our Staff will participate in a professional development planning day.
Absenteeism:
We kindly ask parents and carers to email or call the school office before 9am to inform staff of their child’s absence. Please do not wait for a message from the school. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Student Uniform Vigilance:
Please make sure that uniform items are labelled clearly to facilitate their return if lost. We’ve observed that many students have started the term without their school hats. If your child has misplaced theirs, please purchase a new hat from Tudor online, as school hats are required during recess and lunch.
Before & After School Play Guidelines:
Children must be supervised by their parents and are not allowed to use playground equipment before or after school. We kindly request that once you pick up your child at the end of the day, you exit the school grounds promptly. Please remember that all playground equipment is off limits. We appreciate your help in informing family members or friends picking up your children about these guidelines.
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to our dedicated staff for their unwavering commitment to nurturing and guiding our students. Their dedication to creating a positive and engaging learning environment is truly commendable, and we are fortunate to have such passionate educators at Christ the King School.
The term has begun wonderfully and I wish everyone a relaxing weekend and a great term ahead!
