This day is looked forward to with much anticipation and excitement, especially for the Grade 3 students as they participate in their first primary grade event.

It has been a very successful start to the school year with
students and staff settling into the daily routines and establishing
the supportive environments that assist learning. As always, term
1 is a very busy time of the year with a number of whole school
events that provide the opportunities for students to participate
and for families to re-connect with the school, building on the
sense of community that has been long established at Illawarra
Primary. Some of these events are:
Next Monday the first student assembly for the year will
be held. Due to the success last year of holding separate
assemblies for early childhood and primary, with a whole
school assembly at the end of each term, this practice will
continue in 2020. As a result, next week’s
assembly commencing at 2.00pm will be for the early
childhood classes, hosted by Grade 1/2 Coombes.
Next Wednesday 19th February the school will be holding
its Greet the Teacher/Welcome BBQ. This annual event
continues to provide the opportunity for teachers to meet
informally with parents and then for the school community
to socialise and enjoy each other’s company as we
celebrate the beginning of another school year. Prep-
