Dear Greenmount families,

What's Happening Next Term?

With most school routines back to ‘normal’ we have

been able to pencil in some dates for scheduled activ-

ities next term. Please check the updated calendar of

events in today’s newsletter and the Term Planner

uploaded onto our school website.

One important date to note is the starting date for

Term 3. As the Department of Education has given

schools an additional School Development Day due

to the interruption of COVID-19, staff will be engaging

in Professional Learning on Monday 20th July, and

students will be returning to school on Tuesday 21st

July.

We have also rescheduled the

Parent Interview day originally

planned for Term 1. This will now be

held on Tuesday 4th August. On

this day, school will be closed

from 12pm, with interview times

being available from 12.30pm –

6pm.

This means that students will need to be collected at

12pm, allowing teachers and parents to meet and

discuss individual progress, issues and goals. We are

mindful of the fact that some students attend after

school care, and therefore may not be able to be

collected at 12pm. Supervision will be provided for

these students.

On School Site

Thankyou again to all parents and carers for remember-

ing social distancing requirements when entering school

grounds. All adults are still required to follow the social

distancing guideline on school site. We appreciate you

remaining outside classrooms before and after school.

Learning side by side

We once again encourage you to drop off

and pick up your child from outside school

gates where possible — and support your

child’s independence!

Semester One Reports

As previously communicated to you, we will be

sending home a Student Report

for the semester in Week 10 this

term. It will not have grades

identified in each subject area due

to interruptions to the teaching

and learning program, however it

will still provide information

about the progress your child/ren

have made this semester in spite

of the interruptions faced.

Lucy Webb (Principal)
