Primary News


Reading
Children at all stages of the primary school are immersed in books, pre reading and reading for much of the school day. However, in order for them to become competent and fluent readers we need your help at home too. Please act as a role model for your children. Let them see you enjoying reading, share books with them, read together and read to your children. Once they have discovered the joy of reading it is theirs for life!

School starts at 7am!
Please remember that school begins at 7am for all children. Any children who arrive at their classrooms after this time will be marked late on the register.

Parent survey
We value your opinions and will be sending out a survey next week, as we did last year, to try to find out how our parents feel things are going in the primary school. Please do complete the survey, the more parents who complete it the better understanding we have of what you feel is going well in school and what we might be able to do to make it even better! We will also be surveying children in Prepa through Grade 5 over the next few weeks - we value their opinions too.
