Dear Families,

This week we have seen a 5% increase in students arriving late to school. Did you know, being 5 minutes late every school day is the equivalent of missing over 3 days of school a year. Being late not only affects the child who is late, it also has an impact on the whole class as the teacher has to help the late child settle and repeat instructions for the day. Also being late can increase anxiety levels in children.  We understand that sometimes things happen that create lateness that are unavoidable, however if you are regularly late, I suggest you review some of your habits. It could be as simple as getting up 5 minutes earlier in the morning.

Next Thursday I will be spending the evening outdoors under a tarp as part of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Homelessness can happen to anyone, especially in times like our current circumstances and more often than not people become homeless because of circumstances beyond their control. To understand why I have chosen to do this I have included a short video for you to watch. https://youtu.be/XX2rgXpxhbE
