END OF TERM WRAP UP
As the terms draws to a close, it is great to be able to reflect on the opportunities provided for our students.
- Leading the way as ACE (attending, confident and engaged) students, who have accepted and embraced the learning opportunities available. The hard work and application of your children, will be reflected in their Semester One reports being emailed home today. A reminder that a ‘C’ result, means that your child is working at the year level standard.
- Our increased and free of charge technology devices, are supporting students with their learning engagement opportunities. It is amazing how quickly the students pick up new skills (and also teach their teachers).
- Many excursions and sporting events have occurred, with our senior students looking forward to camp in Week 1 of next term.
- A large range of lunch time activities, suitable for all age groups including clubs, cultural, sporting and adventure play.
We extend our sincere thanks to the staff of Wondall who make these opportunities available to our students.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
As we approach mid-year, we know that some student stationery supplies may be running low. As communicated at the end of 2023, the lists for 2024 were STARTER BOOKLISTS only and additional items may be required throughout the school year due to loss or consumption. Please check with your child if they need any further basic supplies or keep an eye out for a replacement list provided by your child’s class teacher.
Also, please ensure your child has a named hat, jumper, lunchbox and drink bottle. Check out our lost property before the school holidays, if any of these items are missing.
