Thursday 15th, 2017 Dear Parents, Term 3 is drawing to a close! Looking back, it was a packed year with lots of learning, fun, sharing and skill building! It was wonderful to watch our students grow and learn throughout the year. We are going to miss them! We wish them the very best in Year 1. Parents, we thank you for your constant support and cooperation all year long. Report cards go home on the 20th of June and the last day of school is 22nd of June. If your child is unable to attend school on that day, you can collect the report card from the front office in the main building. Reading is one of the most important skills which fosters academic success and promotes social awareness in the child. Please remember to read to your child for practice, information, and enjoyment. At home, you can also help your child by asking questions about the story. Encourage your child to spend at least 15 minutes reading every day. The table below is summary of the teaching points from the 4th – 15th of June. Remember to review these concepts with your child every day. Have a wonderful summer!
