Even though the weather wasn’t kind to us, we had a great turn out for our Open Day and parent presentation in the morning. At our parent presentation, community members were given the chance to have their say about the future directions for our wonderful school. The responses were fantastic and will certainly help to ensure that the planning for our school involves community input, student input and teacher input. We will all work together to continue creating the best possible learning experiences for our children. Many thanks also to the P&C and our fabulous mums who cooked the BBQ all morning for our open day. Your help was much appreciated. I also had a visit from our Director of Schools for West Lake Macquarie last Thursday. He was very impressed with our new foyer and gardens and with the direction Wyee PS is heading. Once again, our community spirit shone through, when Leanne Knapman raced in to jazz up our new foyer with some indoor plants. I have been continuing to see amazing student work in my office. A stand out was the digital stories created by 3W. Zayli, Ella and Bailey did an amazing digital story for Koala Lou. Kanye, Emily and Mikayla also showed their technology skills by creating a digital story for The Gruffalos Child. Well done to our little techno wizards in Year 3! Finally this week, I look forward to seeing lots of Dads at our Father’s Day breakfast on Thursday morning! Come along for a bacon and egg roll and enjoy joining in some games with your children. B.
