Family Photo or Family Tree – students can bring in a simple A4 poster or a
photograph to share with the class. This could be just the immediate family members
or extended family members.
Family Heritage or Origins – students can talk about the countries or cultures present
in their family. They may like to bring in something to show the class.
Family Celebrations – students can talk about a favourite celebration, a birthday,
cultural festival or special day.
Special Family artefact or photo – In History students are learning about the
importance of ‘artefacts,’ and the role they play in representing the past. Please only
send in items which are not breakable. Photographs may be a safe option to protect
fragile artefacts.
My artefact will be…. – Students can talk about the artefact they are going to make

School begins at 9:15am. A teacher will be on duty from 8:45am until 9:15am to supervise the kindergarten students. At 9:15 classroom teachers will come down
to the lines to collect their classes. If it is raining a wet weather sign will be placed outside in the Kindergarten playground and students can move straight in to the
classrooms. No parents or children are permitted in the classroom without a teacher.
Please label everything with your child’s name and class, KJ. We cannot stress this enough, every lunch box – lid and base, fruit container, drink bottle, hat, jumper
and so on!
If you have not already done so please download our school app ‘Schoolzine.’ Our fortnightly newsletter is available for you to read on this app and we also send
our regular notifications to our parent community about upcoming events.
