Assembly Announcement
Dear Parents & Caregivers,
We have taken the decision to postpone our presentation assembly indefinitely and look for other ways to show off the student work that would have been presented. With the term already in full motion with students engaged in learning for this term it was decided that it would be best to move on with this term’s learning program and school events. We have a big term coming up and look forward to having parents on site for school programs including our Sports Day and our Open Day.

NDIS July Drop-in
Dear Parents & Caregivers,
Welcome Back to Term Three
School starts tomorrow with a few events to commence the new term.
- Tomorrow our music students need to bring in their instruments for their first lesson of the term. In addition to this we will have a visit of the Adelaide Youth Orchestra who will be visiting the school in the afternoon to run a workshop with our students at 1.30pm, followed by a concert for our students at 2.30pm.
- On Friday we have two special events put over from the end of last term:
- The opening of our Covered Outdoor Learning Area which was finished in very good time last term. After a few years of planning and winning the Schools Upgrade Grant this is well worth the celebration.
- Presentation Assembly – this was put off from the end of last term due mainly to the amount of sickness at the school amongst staff and students. With a healthier start to the term we can now celebrate the work put in by our students last term, thanks to the efforts of our staff and supportive parents.
Both these events will occur after lunch, more information on this during the week.
Frog Portal
Parts of our Frog Portal can now be accessed by parents via the Community Portal. Over last term we have been sending out invites to parents to come on board the Community Portal, and through this parents can then access the Frog Portal and bookmark it for easy access. At the initial stage parents will be able to access through the Frog Portal:
- Curriculum information sent out through Frog, such as homework tasks, assignments etc.
- Access the timetables of their students to see what lessons and teachers they have.
- Communications via the Messages App, these being short communications and reminders. Recieving these on the Messages App will mean communication occurs through a secure setting. Parents will also be able to respond to the sender of the message.
- Access their students class hub sites where more direct and specific information on their student can be found.
- Receive photos from class teachers of their student’s work as a way of providing positive recognition of student effort via the Frog Snap app
As the use of the Frog App grows, it’s functions will also increase. At this stage we have most parents on board with our Primary classes, with just a couple of students needing a parent who has signed up for the Community Portal, which as said earlier gives access to Frog. This will result in a great asset for teacher to parent communication. The school will be making the effort to get the last few parents on board, with another invitation sent out today for parents to activate their community portal account. Parents who still need to activate will receive an email from noreply@schools.sa.edu.au
Looking forward to the return of all our students.
