Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

It was wonderful to welcome back our students and families on Wednesday after another stint in remote learning. The happy faces and chatter ringing throughout the school was a delight to hear.

I would like to congratulate the students for their positive attitude and how they participated in their learning. I have been delighted by the work produced and the time taken in the presentation of tasks.

It was wonderful to hear recitations and class songs for the up and coming Sixtieth Yarram Eisteddfod. The students have worked considerably hard on learning their poems, songs and play characters. The dates for the Eisteddfod have been rescheduled for Tuesday 17^th August through to Sunday 23^rd August.   

First World Day for Grandparents and the elderly was celebrated on 25^th July, with the theme being “I am with you always” Whilst working with the Grade 2/3 students on Wednesday. We reflected on the qualities and characteristics of their Grandparents and how special they are in their lives. The children were able to articulate their thoughts beautifully through letters to their Grandparents, and I have attached some letters to celebrate these loved members of our families.

Tomorrow July 30^th, the staff will be involved in a Professional Development Day; therefore, we have a school closure day.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Kind Regards,

Maria.
