Dear Parents,

 

It has been a great week celebrating and further encouraging the positive learning behaviours of our children during the Learning reviews.  It has provided a great opportunity for me to catch up with many of you and I thank you for your continued support.  The 5Rs (readiness, resourcefulness, responsibility, respect and resilience) are vital for all children to progress and succeed; they are referred to everyday at school and with the same messages at home our children are becoming more independent and confident.  This was evident with many Goldfinch children showing our prospective families around school on Thursday.  It was a pleasure to listen to the children as they spoke confidently and with great pride.

This evening the football team played against Bearwood in a league match.  Despite scoring two goals, we lost but there are lots more matches coming up. Thank you Mr O'Reilly for organising them all.

Next week I will be spending more time in the classrooms which I am really looking forward to.  We also have our Harvest service at church; please join us if you are able to.

I wish you all a lovely weekend

Jacquie Vanstone
