Foundation 2026

 

 

We have been enjoying settling into ‘BIG School’

 

LIBRARY BAGS/ART SMOCKS:- If you have not supplied a named Art smock or Library bag, could you please do so as our specialist timetable (see below) has begun. Library bags are not the blue satchels (unless you have supplied two). The students have been given a red bag from the State Government which can be used as a library bag if you haven’t got one.

 

TIMETABLE:- Please ensure on the day your child has PE that they have suitable uniform for active play ie. Runners.

Mondays we will have buddies, Tuesdays- STEM and ART, Thursday – AUSLAN, Friday- PE (PMP)

 

ASSEMBLY:- Will run on Friday at 3.00pm. Keep your eye on communication from the school website, newsletters, emails, Facebook page, Sentral app and SeeSaw for notification of any changes to the assembly schedule.

 

COMMUNICATION:- Nar Nar Goon Primary School has a variety of methods we will be using to communicate with you for different purposes. Please check and return your child’s satchel daily.

  • Information regarding connecting to the class SeeSaw app has been distributed and this will be our main avenue of communication for class specific announcements, celebrating student work and an avenue for parent/teacher communication.
  • The school Sentral app is a whole school communication portal where student absences are recorded and where student reports will be uploaded.
  • The school website https://www.narnargoonps.vic.edu.au/ is another avenue whereby absences can be recorded. It is also where families can source school program information. Parents also find the Facebook page a useful source of information.
  • The school newsletter contains relevant upcoming events and school celebrations.

PROGRAMS:- We have a strong focus in Term 1 on student wellbeing and routine. We have begun the year with our Personal Development Programs "Bright Beginnings" and "Respectful Relationships" where students learn personal skills and explore concepts through games and activities, to set us up for a productive and successful year! Students will be exposed to phonological awareness and letter identification through the Phonics Plus program. We will use the data gained from our one to one Interview to inform lesson foci. Our Numeracy focus will be on Number, Our Core Curriculum focus this term is History. Students will be exploring local indigenous culture and their own families, to help develop important concepts of "Then and Now." We will enjoy our first incursion from “The History Box” on Tuesday 10th February.

PARENT HELPERS:-There are many opportunities to be involved in the classroom and in school. We will ask for volunteers via SeeSaw when students have settled and routines are established. There are also opportunities to support the school through our friendly team on PAFA. (Parents and Friends Association).

Please remember to sign up for the school newsletter online and label everything.

We are looking forward to sharing lots of fun and learning and are  lucky to have Sandy as a regular Aide in our classroom this year.

 

Kind Regards

 

Mrs Williamson
