Welcome to the 2019 school year.

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to the start of the 2019 school year. For the year ones, I hope you had fantastic holidays. To our new receptions welcome into our 8 West classroom. I look forward to teaching you and watching you learn and grow.

I have placed here the Term One sharing topics. Although it says week one, we probably won’t start this properly until week three. I will support the new receptions through the process and explain more at acquaintance night.
