Prep arrangements for 2010
To assist in the gradual introduction of Preps to a full week and the long school day, the following timetable will be followed.
| Week | Week beginning | Days of attendance | Times of attendance |
| 1 -5 | 1st Feb | Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday | 9:00 - 3:30 |
| 6 | 8th Mar | Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday | 9:00 - 3:30 |
In the first 5 weeks, children will not attend school on Wednesday unless they are scheduled for Prep Entry Assessment Program (PEAP). This is a short interview that helps teachers get to know your child on a personal level and give some insight into Numeracy and Literacy Skills. Your home group teacher will organise this with you.
Starting school is really exciting and should be enjoyed. Take the time to make your child feel secure and leave, making sure they understand you will be back at 3.30 pm to pick them up.
Children should be picked up directly from their home group. If they are attending Out of School Hours Care, their staff will collect children and take them to OSHC.

Welcome back
This has been a wonderful start to the year. Teachers were well organized for the start and came into school two weeks before we officially started to make sure children were coming back to a lovely working environment. Children and families seem happy to be back and several parents came to me to say their children couldn't wait to get back to school.
This weeks newsletter contains some important news for parents regarding the Library for 2010 and the Myschool website and BEPS. l urge all parents to read this weeks newsletter to gain an understanding of both issues.

Multi-Age Classrooms
The organisational structure of classes in 2010 is built around multi-age groupings where teachers plan in working teams. This setting is a practice of grouping students of different ages and stages of learning in the same classroom, for the purpose of working together.For further information you can now download the following documents:
