It is hard to believe that we are already in our last term of the year. We were very excited to welcome our students back to school following the holidays. As Term 4 continues, we are working on class configurations, staffing and structures for the 2020 year. As I shared at the end of Term 3, have Class Placement discussions between Week 1, Term 4 and Week 4, Term 4. If you have any particular requests for your children and their 2020 class placement, the process is to make an appointment with two members of our Leadership Team (through the office), during these weeks. At the meetings, your concerns will be discussed and noted to ensure they receive consideration during our Class Placement processes. Parents will be notified of placement via letter, on Friday of Week 9. Students will visit their new classroom and meet their new teacher (if possible) after lunch on Friday of Week 9. As we are planning our classes, it is very important that we are aware of families and children who may either be new students to Loxton Primary School in 2020 or current families who may be leaving. If you know of anyone who may be arriving to, or leaving the Loxton Primary School community in 2020, please encourage them to let us know. We are able to plan more effectively for the year ahead when our numbers are accurate. We appreciate your assistance with this. Thank you. Tomorrow, October 25 th is World Teachers Day. Our teachers enjoyed a lovely morning tea organised by our fabulous Ancillary staff on Tuesday. We were very spoilt and appreciated the very kind gesture. We were also thrilled to receive some portraits created by the very artistic students in Year 1 Coombe. The students created some very realistic and genuine drawings of the teachers in the school. The Australian Primary Principals Association shared that 'World Teachers' Day gives us all an opportunity to think about the contribution teachers make – not only to our own schools, but in schools around the world'. At Loxton Primary School we are very fortunate to have wonderful teachers (and staff) who are constantly working with our students in mind. Please make sure you wish your teachers a 'Happy World Teachers Day', tomorrow. This afternoon I had the privilege of participating in the Year 7 Business and Enterprise Market Stalls. Our Year 7 students have been working tirelessly for a number of weeks, to prepare their products, produce business plans and create the marketing tools to promote their business. They have also been fortunate to work not only under their teacher's guidance, but to be supported by Mrs Trish Yandell and her Loxton High School Business and Enterprise students. It was wonderful to view and talk with students about their market stalls. They were able to very clearly talk about their products, pricing and availability. They were also able to share the websites, business cards, video adverts, customer surveys and other general information about their businesses. It was wonderful to see the very savvy sales pitches and to hear the children articulate the thinking behind their business ideas and ventures. We look forward to seeing the 'Shark Tank' final pitches next week. Finally, please remember that teachers do not begin supervision of students until 8.30am in the mornings. We have a number of students who are arriving, sometimes significantly, before 8.30 am. If any students are here prior to 8.30am, they will be asked to quietly sit on the stage until the 8.30 bell sounds. In the afternoon, the playgrounds are actually closed after school. Due to duty of care, students are requested to please exit the school grounds when dismissed. Teachers on duty will continue to remind students that the playground is closed after school. Thank you for your support. Have a wonderful weekend.
