Welcome
Welcome back to all our returning K2 families and welcome to our new K1 children joining us tomorrow. We hope you had a restful summer and are ready for the new term. Olivia Kane has now joined the team as the K1 Bilingual class teacher. We also welcome Laura Hamilton back as an Educational Assistant in the K2 Biliingual class and Jess Mihan as an Educational Assistant in the K2 English class.
Shoes
Please remember to send your child to school in shoes that they can get on and off easily. Please don’t send lace up shoes unless your child can do their own laces, also crocs or flip flops are dangerous on the climbing equipment as they tend to slip.
Classes for This Year
The class teacher and educational assistant placements are as follows for this year. You will have the chance to meet your new teacher in the coming weeks.
K1 Bilingual Class: Olivia Kane (New), Susanne Liu, Sue Tyson
K1 English Class: Liv (Olivia Kotyck), Anita Jims and Michelle Chen
K2 English Class: Fiona Hall, Bridgette Walker, Jackie Henderson
K2 Bilingual Class: Danielle Evans, Allison fung, Julie Rose/ Laura Hamilton
We will have two Olivias in K1 therefore our Olivia in the K1 English class will be known as Liv this year to avoid confusion.
Meet the Teacher and Admissions Evening
Next Tuesday, 22nd of August you will have the chance to come into school and meet your class teacher and hear about the year ahead. The meetings will begin at 4.30 pm and will be held in the respective classes. After the meet the teacher we will hold a second meeting for K2 parents who wish to stay and hear about the new ESF admissions process.
Parking
At the beginning of the year many parents bring their children to school and use the car park. Please make sure you park closely together to enable more cars to fit into the car park. Please also be careful, drive slowly and be courteous to other parents. Please also make sure you do not park in the bus spaces or block them in.
