From the Principal

Dear St John the Apostle families,
Last week a small band of Year 4 students began an Origami Club in the Library each Wednesday for Years 2 to 6 students. I wanted to support their community spirit and willingness to share their intersts and talents with others. I helped them access the paper they needed and make their announcements at morning assembly.
Over the course of this week I have now had many, many groups of students come to me to ask to start their own club. We've had suggestions for book-making, arts, star wars, minecraft and next Wednesday begins a drawing club for K-2 being run by Year 3 students.
At this time of year, when all of our students are a little tired, its great to be able to provide them with the opportunity to share their intersts with others and give to their community. I will listen to them all and help them help each other.
Welcome to OSHClub
Yesterday I announced that following a rigorous selection process a new Out of Hours School Care provider, OSHClub, will begin running our Out of Hours School Care program from 2021.
I met with Nicole and Lee from the OSHClub team yesterday to plan the transition. Information about their program and the booking process will be made available next week.
End of Semester 2 reports
Written reports will be distributed next Wednesday 25 November and these are followed by Parent-Teacher Interviews the following two weeks. Written reports and parent-teacher interviews work together to provide a more complete picture of each child's acheivements and goals. We would like every family to participate. Teachers have prepared information to share as part of the interviews. Parent-Teacher Interview times can now be booked following the link below.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Matthew Garton
