Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thanks to everyone for their warm welcome and well wishes. It has been a great start to the

term.

The drop off and pick up procedures will continue, with parents being requested not to enter

school grounds at these times. Students are to be collected by parents by 3.30pm. Students

travelling by bus remain until arrival of buses. Thank you to families for your ongoing support.

Social Enterprise Project

Beginning Wednesday Week 3, Yr 6 students will travel to Alstonville High School to take part

in a Social Enterprise Project with Alstonville Public School and Alstonville High School

students. This will continue each Wednesday in Term 3 and Term 4. Transport will need to be

provided by families for this. A separate note will come home with further details.

Kindergarten Enrolments 2021

We are now taking Kindergarten enrolments for 2021. Please contact the office if you have

children or know of families with children wishing to attend Rous School in 2021. An

information evening will be held in Term 3. Further information will be provided when

restrictions ease.

Science Holiday Projects

A big congratulations to the students in both the 1/2 and 4/5/6 classes. It was wonderful to

hear so many students in the 4/5/6 class have planted their seeds with very successful results.

I enjoyed hearing about all the wonderful upcycling projects in the 1/2 class and look forward

to seeing the photos. Who knew you could do so many wonderful things with cardboard boxes.

Mrs Lord.
