PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
I had some really positive feedback about the PL Day and I would like to acknowledge staff who presented the concurrent sessions. The sessions will be offered again on an opt in basis rather than as compulsory sessions.
The staff wellness sessions will also continue and it affirms the schools commitment of supporting our valuable resource. You!
It will be another big term and the Term 3 Directions Presentation will be posted on Google Drive. As I mentioned at the Briefing, the website and app are constantly being updated with dates and a copy of the Term Planner is attached to this memo.
The Staff Briefings on PowerPoint are all available now in Google Drive.
FINANCE COMMITTEE/ SCHOOL BOARD
We are seeking nominations for both the School Board and Finance Committee to replace Larissa who has a fair bit on her plate at the moment. If you are interested or would like further information drop me an email or pop in for a chat. Applications close on Friday 2 August. The minutes of the Finance Committee are available upon request.
Messageyou - The process of contacting parents of students highlighted as unexplained via SMS has commenced with 37 parents contacted since Tuesday, start of Term 3. We will continue to run reports by 9:30am to see if rolls have been completed each day for the next few weeks and move towards that 100% target.

DUTY ROSTER
The Pre-primary's have joined us in the playground, consequently the duty roster has been amended Terms Junior Duty Roster. Please delete any previous copies as there have been changes made to the overall roster.
ASSEMBLY/MERIT AWARDS
This week I am out Thursday (Perisse) instead of Wednesday. It is a green assembly. I will need merit awards by Wednesday 11.00am. Sorry about the reduced timeline!
LOST PROPERTY/RECESS
JFK made an aspirational target of getting man on the moon 50 years ago, so a target of solving the lost property challenge should be achievable. The challenge will be to have classroom strategies after the breaks to keep students accountable. Perisse will work with students to highlight the successes. It is also very important that duty teachers are making sure lunch boxes and rubbish is put away. Unlike Apollo it ain’t Rocket Science. Thanks, Dale, Lorena and Perisse
