A note from
Linda:
Hello Families,
I hope everyone is well
rested after the Autumn
break. I truly enjoyed
listening to the students’
favourite holiday moment
earlier today… everything
from trips overseas to
playing games with the
family.
The students are truly
extraordinary in their
commitment to their
studies and in creating a
supportive environment.
There isn’t a week that pass
by when teachers - and the
coordinator - tells me
about the wonders of my
class. I feel so proud and
privileged to be their
teacher. Lately, we have
received a couple of new
students to the class.
Welcome!
PLEASE
REMEMBER TO:
Check Website Regularly.
Check Managebac for
updates.
With your child:
● Ask your child
about the central
idea and lines of
inquiry of their
Exhibition project.
The central ideas
will be finalised
towards the end
of this week.
