Panania North staff would like to welcome back all of our students and their families and extend a very warm welcome to our many new students who have joined our very special school this year.
Our 2020 transition program has had a very positive impact on our start to the year. Our students were in their 2021 classes and engaged in learning by 9.10am on our first day back. Our Kindergarten students have also settled smoothly into big school and engaged in learning.
The beginning of the year is an important time to develop independence and clear expectations for our students. We thank you for reinforcing the expectation that students are responsible for their learning and belongings. You can help each day by encouraging your children to carry their school bag, bring their lunchbox home from school and take it out of their bag; and say goodbye to you at the gate so they can carry their bag to their class. All these actions send a strong message to our little learners that when at school, they have responsibilities but their teachers are able to help if needed.
This first newsletter is sent home in hard copy to ensure all parents have the information to access our communication apps. The next newsletter will distributed via Skoolbag, Class Dojo and placed on our school website.
