Assembly

This fortnight, we had an alternative format to our regular Assembly. Mrs Boyle, Mrs Loban and I Skyped from the office with students in their classrooms to give the messages for the week and welcome them back to school. There were a few glitches but overall, it was a great opportunity to connect with students. It was wonderful for the Wondall Workers of the Week to come to the office to receive their certificates following the online Assembly.

Drop off zone

As many of you are aware, we have had many staff at the front of the school in the drop off zone before and after school to assist students to transition safely to and from cars into school. This process ensures the safety of our school staff and students by limiting parent foot traffic in the school. Thank you to everyone who has worked with us to make this a streamlined process. Parents are arriving with their windows down and names on the visor. In addition to this, many students have learned how to buckle themselves up quickly.

We are aware that a build-up of cars waiting continues to be a challenge, especially in the afternoons. Please be patient if there is traffic at this time and obey the council signage.

Personally, I have enjoyed seeing students off in the afternoon. It is a great opportunity for short chat and check-in on each student’s day. It is lovely to receive the positive feedback and appreciation from parents as we assist students to cars.
