Dear Families, we thank those who were able to attend our two learning assemblies this week. We were given a summary of our learnings from Chantal, where she shared stories, knowledge, as well as some drumming. Students and staff appreciate her time at Midnapore school, and we eagerly await our next visit from Chantal, later in June.
Federal Election Site
Please note we are a federal election site for April 28. There will be limited access to our building through the front door during this day. There will also be an increased amount of traffic at the front of the school during drop off and pickup. Our staff will support the morning drop-off, as well as the afternoon pick-up, by being on supervision and by keeping the morning doors open longer to assist you.
Grade 5/6 Respect Assembly
Thank you to our Grade 5’s, 6’s, staff and families who supported and attended our most recent assembly. On Wednesday morning or Grade 5’s and 6’s shared our learnings and teachings around the topic of Respect. Through creative plays, stories, messages and songs, our students created a very engaging and educational presentation for our school community. We thank you for your hard work and for the messages and project to keep our community and school and eco-friendly environment.
