Dear Parents and Caregivers

Welcome back to Term 2. I trust that you have had a relaxing and safe Easter term break as a family. Thank you for your support in getting your students back into the busyness of the new term. The students need to be congratulated on how quickly and easily they have settled back into school life, always a sign of great routines and expectations which are in place already. It was great to host so many families at the recently held Student, Parent and Teacher Conversations at both the Junior and Senior College campuses. It鈥檚 important, as part of our working relationship with you, that we can give you an account of and affirm, early in the school year, how your children have settled into and are progressing. Just on Monday evening, I mentioned to a few families the importance of the College, as the second educator, working hand in hand with you as the primary educators of your children. I am looking forward to another busy but productive term.

Beginning a new term is a great opportunity for students to start afresh and develop good habits to support personal health and wellbeing. To help with this, Concordia 女女视频 College will be introducing 鈥淲ellness Wednesdays鈥 through our social media platforms.

The countdown is on to our 2023 Scholastic Book Fair and National Simultaneous Storytime. It is only four weeks until this exciting annual event occurs. The flyer included in this newsletter gives the dates for each respective campus. The Resource Centres will be open from 7:30am before school on the mornings of the Book Fair and until 4:00pm after school in the afternoons. The students will be given an opportunity to see the collection available and to create a wish list to take home to discuss with you. I look forward to seeing many families come in to browse and shop the wonderful collection of Scholastic books and novelties.

This week the students will have taken home a copy of the latest Scholastic Book Club Catalogue. Orders from this issue are due back by the 5 May. This will be the only Scholastic Book Club we are doing this term as we are having the Scholastic Book Fair later in the term.

Families that were billed for outstanding Library books and Home readers will be issued a credit if the books are returned.
