Parent Reps

Here is a message regarding Parent Reps from Angela at the Community Relations Sub-Committee.

We are looking for 2-4 parents from each neighbourhood to volunteer as a parent rep for 2012. The role of parent reps is to encourage and co-ordinate parent involvement in the educational and social activities of the school in collaboration with the neighbourhood teachers.
If you are interested, please speak to the teachers in your child's neighbourhood by Thursday 1 March.

Parent's Information Night

There will be a Parent Information Night on Wednesday 29th February at 4:00 - 5:00 (straight after the Welcome Festival). You will be able to find out about the learning within our neighbourhoods and answers to any particular questions regarding Year 3/4. We hope to see you there!

Welcome Festival Invitations

On Friday, our students took home the invitations to the Year 3/4 Welcome Festival. This will be on Wednesday 29th February at 2:30 - 3:30 and will be the result of our inquiry project into the creation of a festival within our neighbourhood. Students created their invitations using poetry and then personalised and published them. All parents, relatives and carers are welcome to our Neighbourhoods to meet our community of learners, teachers, and celebrate our learning. Hope some of you can make it!

Our Neighbourhood in the Papers!

If you bought the Sunday Herald Sun today,  you may have noticed that there is an article regarding our school, with a fantastic photo of the students from Year 3/4 Neighbourhoods, on page 5! You can also access this article HERE on their website if you didn't get the chance to go and get a copy!

1 to 1 Computing Program Roll Out

Many students who have signed up for the 1 to 1 computing program in year 3/4 would have received their laptop yesterday and today. Some students who were picked up by their parents or carers after school were able to take the laptops with them. Please read and discuss our MacBook Air Start Guide with your child at home. Students who have not yet received their laptops will do so this week.

We ask the students to place the laptops in the case provided, and place this in their school bag when moving between school and home. Students must place their laptops in the secure storage in the Media Room in the morning and at all times when not in use. 

Students are allowed to take their laptops to OHSC, however, they must remain in their school bag and placed in an allocated area. Please check with Mandy if you are unsure regarding this matter. 1 to 1 laptops are not to be used at any time in OHSC.

Whole School Welcome Picnic

Families of our school community are all invited to our annual Welcome Picnic on the 16th February from 6pm. This will be a great opportunity for the staff members and other families to meet you and get to know you better. Bring a plate of something yummy to eat! Looking forward to seeing you there! (Location of the picnic TBA).

Welcome and welcome back!

We would like to welcome our grade 3s and their families to our neighbourhood. It has been lovely to have conversations with some of the new students and their carers in the first week and we are looking forward to getting to know you better this term. We would also like to welcome back our grade 4s to the neighbourhood and look forward to furthering our learning this year.

This blog is a portal where we communicate to our community about our learning within Neighbourhood 1. It will be updated by our team throughout the year. It is also the place where you can find out about how the neighbourhood works, check the weekly timetable, the learning agreement documents and the upcoming events. We hope that you will return to this blog often to catch up on developments in our neighbourhood.

If you have any queries about the blog or anything else abut the neighbourhood, feel free to approach us before or after school.
