School Focus Areas Our school focus areas for this year continue on from those of last year: Reading – reading is the key to everything. It unlocks so many opportunities and is at the heart of the work that students do in every subject. As adults, we rely on it to complete so many tasks, for enjoyment etc. Our school has had reading as a focus for a number of years. Writing – we spent a good deal of time last year on sharpening our work in the teaching of writing last year and will polish this work this year. Community Partnerships – there are many ways that our students can engage with community partnerships. This will enhance their understanding of what it means to contribute to the community. Plus, the exceptional work that we do to connect with our Prep students, their families and the kindies will continue, enhancing the way that the children transition into our school community. I am also energised by the opportunity to work with our P&C, School Council and community groups and organisations. Arrangements Before School To ensure the safety of our students before school and to allow us to prepare for the day, the following steps are in place: Students and families at school before 8:15 wait outside the school gates. At 8:15, the gates are opened and people then assemble in the Central Covered Area (CCA - near the Tuck Shop). At 8:35 a bell sounds. Students are to remain in the CCA, or they can go onto the oval, weather permitting. The exception currently is for Prep students, who may assemble outside classrooms. The next bell sounds at 8:50 and students move to class. Last week there were a large number of students outside the junior school classrooms. I understand that sometimes a family may have an appointment with a teacher at this time, but being in this area should be the exception rather than the rule. This is because there are no staff members rostered on to supervise this area.

Welcome to 2020! I know that we’ve been going for a few weeks now, but this is
the first time that I have had the opportunity to officially welcome you back in our
newsletter.
I hope that you had an enriching and rewarding break with your family and friends
and that it exceeded your expectations. If some challenging things happened, I hope
that they have sorted themselves out and that you can get some distance from them
quickly.
Our classes and programs have all hit the ground running with amazing speed and as
always, I am proud of the way that our school community rolls up its sleeves and gets
on with the job.
School Focus Areas
Our school focus areas for this year continue on from those of last year: Reading – reading is the key to everything. It unlocks so many opportunities and
is at the heart of the work that students do in every subject. As adults, we
rely on it to complete so many tasks, for enjoyment etc. Our school has had
reading as a focus for a number of years.
Writing – we spent a good deal of time last year on sharpening our work in the
teaching of writing last year and will polish this work this year.
Community Partnerships – there are many ways that our students can
engage with community partnerships. This will enhance their understanding
of what it means to contribute to the community. Plus, the exceptional work
that we do to connect with our Prep students, their families and the kindies
will continue, enhancing the way that the children transition into our school
community. I am also energised by the opportunity to work with our P&C,
School Council and community groups and organisations.
Arrangements Before School
To ensure the safety of our students before school and to allow us to prepare for
the day, the following steps are in place: Students and families at school before 8:15 wait outside the school gates.
At 8:15, the gates are opened and people then assemble in the Central Covered
Area (CCA - near the Tuck Shop).
At 8:35 a bell sounds. Students are to remain in the CCA, or they can go onto
the oval, weather permitting. The exception currently is for Prep students,
who may assemble outside classrooms.
The next bell sounds at 8:50 and students move to class.
Last week there were a large number of students outside the junior school
classrooms. I understand that sometimes a family may have an appointment with a
teacher at this time, but being in this area should be the exception rather than the
rule. This is because there are no staff members rostered on to supervise this area.

Only Our Best, Everyday, Everyone
Nevaeh Marsh
This year we have welcomed a new student, Nevaeh to WoodLinks. Some children and families will have already
met Nevaeh and know her story, for those of you who haven't Nevaeh and her family would like to share some
information with you all.
Nevaeh has a medical condition known as Cystic Fibrosis. C F is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs,
pancreas, and other organs. The disorder make Nevaeh susceptible to infections and illness. It is therefore even
more important that you follow the school policy of keeping your child/ren home if they are unwell.
Nevaeh’s teacher will also have sent out a letter to all families in her class explaining the condition.
If you would like to know more about Cystic Fibrosis please follow the following link to the Cystic Fibrosis
