Hello everyone and welcome to Week 6.

We have had a fantastic few weeks in the middle part of this term. There have been many wonderful celebrations, and many more to come. I have enjoyed being a part of them and seeing the children learning and enjoying themselves.

On Wednesday the 11^th in the 11^th month at the 11^th hour all of our classes participated in a Remembrance Day service held in each of our classrooms. This was a very respectful and poignant time as we all remembered those who serve or have served to ensure Australian remains the wonderful country that it is.  

Normally around this time of the year the students who have been working hard as part of the Children’s University program get to visit Bonython Hall at Adelaide University in the city, and receive their awards wearing the hot and gowns. This year because of COVID a representative from Children’s University came to our school to present our students with a small teddy bear and certificate in recognition of all of their hard work. The students were then able to join Phil and myself for a special morning tea, which was the envy of their classmates as they were able to miss out on a few minutes of class and enjoy some yummy snacks. One student said ‘this is the best day ever’. Well done to following students: Maggie Bedson, Owen Fox, Caasha Mallawaarachchi, Darius Tan, Lucas Tan, Krish Desai, Mia Davis, Emilia Paez-Piedrahita, Anastasia Harrison, Genevieve Harrison, and Ashleigh Sykes.

I hope you all have a great couple of weeks as we end 2020.

Take care

Jamie
