Well I am pleased to say the Dry seems to have arrived—a very pleasant long weekend with temperatures very comfortable as many of our community were out and about making the most of living in the NT.
Mrs Donohue and I have been enjoying our time in classrooms across the school engaging with all students through our quarterly ‘Pep Talks’ - great opportunities to hear student views, share common messages and reinforce expectations for us all at Alawa. In the Years 3-6 rooms I have been focussing on defining once again what we view as an 'Assessment Capable Learner' and how we can reflect, view and measure our individual progress with our learning. The students have come up with some very thoughtful responses which are now on display in their classrooms.
Thanks to everyone for doing their best to be safe in our very congested car park area - we know this is not easy and appreciate everyone's efforts to keep everyone safe! I am advised the tender for our upgrade has now closed and we look forward to the contract being awarded in coming weeks.
It has been terrific to see so many parents / carers joining us for Bootcamp on Wednesday mornings and to see more and more children arriving by 8:15am for the start. This continues through till Sports Day on June 11th.
Farm Working Bee
Mr Bob and Mrs Conder are hoping to see lots of families joining us this Saturday for the Farm Working Bee from 8:30am - 10:30am. The more people that come along the more we can get done to keep our Farm in tip top condition for all our students who engage in such rich learning in their weekly lessons as well as many enjoying lunchtime breaks down there.
Reminder: NAPLAN starts Tuesday 11th May for Years 3 and 5
Just a reminder to parents / carers of students in Years 3 and 5 - starting next Tuesday [11th May] the annual NAPLAN testing. Students participate in 4 test each over the two week period and I cannot stress enough the importance of a good nights sleep, healthy nutritious breakfast and calm start to the day.
Have a great week,
Sandy Cartwright [Principal of the Best School in the Multiverse]
