The Millsy Flyer

Presentation Day:

Congratulations to all students who received an award at presentation day last week. The ceremony is now available for viewing through the Google Drive link sent out via Skoolbag last week.

Staff Leaving:

I would like to wish Kahli Saunders, Melinda McGrath, Fiona Druery, Roleter Lane and Ashleigh Garven all the best as they move onto other positions and schools in 2021. We have valued their contributions to the school and wish them all the best.

Classes 2021:

At this point in time, we will have 16 mainstream classes and 3 support classes in 2021. The class teachers will be as follows.

Kindergarten – Ms Morton, Mrs McLeod, Mrs Simmons (K/1)

Year 1 – Miss Blyth, Mrs Wakely

Year 2 – Mrs Burr, Mrs Hoscher, Mrs Milgate (Yr 2/3)

Stage 2 (Year 3/4) – Miss Mitchell, Mr Batchelor, Miss Walters, Ms Hamilton

Stage 3 (Year 5/6) – Ms Patrick, Miss Bath and Mrs Herbert, Miss Spillane, Mrs Bohatko (Year 4/5)

Support Unit – Mr Sharland, Mrs Osborne, Mrs McDonald (formerly known as Miss Pearce)

As you could imagine, teachers have spent countless hours placing students in classes for next year and to change even one child has a domino effect as we try to ensure every student has a friend in their class.

 Year 6 Clap Out: 

Year 6 Clap Out will be held on Wednesday 16th December at 2.35pm. One parent for each student will be allowed to attend on site and will be asked to make a circle on the playground. Parents will need to sign a COVID declaration to attend and will need to socially distance from other adults while on site.  Parents and students will need to leave the school grounds shortly after the clap out and parents will not be able to mingle with other parents. Additional parents may stand, socially distanced from other adults, outside the school gates and clap students out as they leave the school grounds. 

Happy Holidays:

I would like to take this opportunity to wish our entire community a wonderful holiday and merry Christmas. It has been a difficult, but amazing year at Warners Bay PS and I look forward to another great year in 2021. School will resume for students on Friday 29th January.

The school will be open for staff only on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th January 2021.

Medical Records:

If your child requires an Asthma Plan, please ensure you send an updated plan with your child at the beginning of 2021.  Likewise if your child has an allergy or special medical needs, please forward any updated treatment plans when school resumes next year.  

Skoolbag app:

We will continue to communicate with the school community via the Skoolbag app in 2021.  Please ensure you have the app downloaded and notifications switched on so you don't miss any important updates. 

Parent Portal:

If you haven't already done so, please register for the Parent Portal on Sentral.  Once registered, you will need to activate your access key to link your child to the portal.

School Security:

If you notice any suspicious activity on the school grounds over the holidays, please contact School Security on 1300 880 021.

In 2021, the Uniform Shop at WBPS will be opening on a Wednesday morning (instead of Thursdays) from 8:45am-9:45am.   P&C has a new volunteer co-ordinator and we are also looking for any parent or carer that may be able to help in the Uniform Shop (whether it's on a regular basis or one day per term)  If you are interested in assisting, please leave your details with the office.
