Parent workshop – get your free tickets NOW!

Leave a reply

In term 1, the Governing Council held a very successful parenting workshop with Mark Le Messurier on “Parenting Styles”.  Our follow up workshop (FREE!) is provided by Wilson McAskill, the writer of our school social program, “Play is the Way”.  Wilson’s theme is “Children aren’t made of China”  While not a parenting workshop per se, this event will give you the language to develop your own parenting style using the Play is the Way philosophy.

There are plenty of tickets left – please see Adele at the front desk for yours – or you can phone through and we can send home via your child.

CLG Interactive Poster Display at Education Department Head Office!

Leave a reply

Do you work in the city?  We have a series of interactive posters on display in the ground floor gallery at the Education Department’s Head Office at 31 Flinders Street. The public are very welcome to browse the exhibition from 8am until 5.30pm weekdays.

To get the most out of the posters,  you will need a smart phone or tablet that can access the internet (not just wi-fi).  Pre-load a QR scanner program such as i-nigma (available for Apple and android devices) and take a set of ear buds so you can listen to the children’s explanations of their learning.

Here is what the display looks like! The children are very excited that so many people will get to view and listen to their work.

If you do get a chance to visit, we’d love you to return to this post and leave a comment for the children.

Did you use internet banking to enrol your child for the ICAS competitions?

Leave a reply

Hi families

A student has been entered to take all three ICAS competitions and payment was made through Bizgate – our online payment system or by internet banking.  If you paid this way and entered your child for all three competitions, please could you give Sylvia Gould a call on 8276 1523 as someone forgot to put their child’s name,  year levels for tests etc and we have no way of tracing who you are 🙂 If you give Sylv a  call, she can tick you off the list to confirm that we have all your child’s details.

Thanks

Louisa Guest
