Busan Science Museum Trip

Please remember that the whole school will be visiting Busan Science Museum next Wednesday. Each class is booked in to do a different hands-on activity in the museum’s education centre.

Please make sure you have completed the permission form sent by your child’s teacher.

Please make sure students are at school before 9am on this day, as we want to leave on time.

No After-School Activities in Week 10

Please remember that after-school activities do not happen in the last week of terms, so there are no after-school activities in Week 10.

Please be aware that the after-school bus schedule will be affected.

Residential Trip

Before we begin planning in detail, we would like to gauge the level of support from parents for taking out Year 3/4, Year 5/6, and Year 7/8/9 classes away for a residential trip in Term 3. In the past 2 years, we have taken these classes away in term 3 for overnight stays at facilities in the local area. Last year we went to a location near Busan, and the year before we went to Unmoonsan Recreastional Forest. The Year 3/4 class would spend one night away from home, and the older students would stay for two nights. The students look forward to these trips, and we believe they are an important experience that develops confidence, responsibility, and leadership.

Here is the presentation we gave about last year’s trip. The format for this year’s trip will be very similar, but we may change the activities and location.

Parents of students in Mr. Dunn’s, Ms. Temple’s, and Mrs. Leah’s class are invited to share their opinions using this form.

If there is a sufficient level of interest and support for these trips, we will begin planning in detail.

School Consultative Group

Mr. Geoff Donnison has volunteered to join the School Consultative Group to represent the parents. The next meeting of this group will be held on Wednesday, 19th March. Parents wishing to share opinions with the School Consultative Group can contact Mr. Donnison by email.
