Message from Michele Marquet

Dear Parents,

This week, we celebrated the learning that occurs throughout our School when we held our K-5 Student Led Conferences (SLC). Parents of boys in K-5 were able to spend about two hours with their son while he shared his learning in all areas of the curriculum. Next term, our Year 6 parents will be able to come and hear their son present his independent inquiry. At that time, we will warmly invite K-5 parents to attend the Exhibition too, one of the highlights of the year.

Y12 Farewell Assembly
Last Friday morning, we welcomed our current Year 12 students who started in the Junior School to say farewell. One of our favourite annual assemblies, the occasion was a lovely opportunity for the Year 12 students to reminisce with some of their former Junior School teachers and for our younger students to honour these young men as they commence the next stage of their learning. 

Holiday Camps
Parents who would like to see what holiday activities are on offer at Cranbrook over the forthcoming holidays, should look in the ‘News & Reminders’ section of this newsletter.

After a busy and productive term, the staff and I wish all our Cranbrook Junior School families a safe and relaxing holiday break. We look forward to seeing all our P-Y6 students return for Term 4 on Tuesday, 10 October.

Staff News
I am delighted to let everyone know that our Year 1 Year Level Coordinator, Chloe Jennings and her spouse, Ed, welcomed a little daughter, Effie Skye Jennings, mid this term. Everyone is doing very well and adjusting to being a family of three.

Today, we say farewell to Lee Robertson who has been working on the Year 3 team on Fridays for the past 18 months. Lee will be spending more time with her family and we thank her for kind ways and meticulous care of the students and staff whilst she has been with us.

Kind wishes

Michele Marquet
Head of Junior School
