We are officially on the downhill slide toward the end of the school year. It is at this time that behaviour of some students sometimes deteriorates and disengagement with school activities occurs.
Our teachers will continue to provide focussed learning activities, even though reports may have been completed because it is our duty to ensure that learning is on-going. Therefore we take a very firm stand on behaviours that are not only inappropriate but also interfere with the learning and well-being of others.
With this in mind, I ask that you bring to your children’s attention that, should their behaviour be considered inappropriate, they risk consequences that may result on them missing out on many of the extra curricular activities planned for the end of term such as excursions and, in the case of Year 7 students, graduation celebrations. Having said this, I am confident that the majority of our students will demonstrate the excellent behaviour that we always see at Arundel State School. I know that our teachers can look forward to the support of parents in our endeavours to have a wonderful last few weeks of Term 4.
Great Sports!
Congratulations to our Touch Football Team who competed over the past weekend. The team, coached by Leigh Fletcher and Mrs Wendy Fletcher, progressed through the competition on Saturday winning all of their games, including the first game against the reigning premiers. And it just got better! The team then went on to win every game prior to the final one before the Grand Final.
Mrs Fletcher described her players as extremely sportsmanlike putting their best foot forward at all times and reported that the team work was amazing.
Thank you to all parents who supported this event and a special mention to Brett Walkerdene for his help and support with coaching and equipment. Also, to Jill Wilkie for washing the mud and pink zinc off the competition shirts.
Margaret James, Principal
