Pre-schools’ Update – Week 9
Dear Pre-school Families,
As we wrap up Term 2, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the exciting experiences of the past week and celebrate the incredible growth of our children.
St Michael’s 2-day group enjoyed a visit from Australian Wildlife, where they had the opportunity to meet a variety of animals and learn about their habitats. The incursion was a wonderful way to deepen their understanding about this term’s unit of inquiry.
This week, St Michael’s 5-day and 3-day groups and St Mark’s, welcomed the EnviroMentors incursion, further supporting our ongoing focus on sustainability and environmental awareness.
St Michael’s 2 Day Group – A gentle reminder to please send in your recipe for cooking experiences. Please see the daybook and sign in area for further information.
Compass
We are pleased to introduce Compass, our new Student Management System, which will over time improve communication and streamline a range of administrative processes. This platform will increasingly replace our previous systems and marks a significant step forward in how families will be able to interact with the School. Initially, Compass will be used for accessing Pre-school’s Daybooks and following on through the term signing in and out digitally via the kiosk, submitting attendance notes and updating medical details.
Over time, additional features will be introduced and shared via Compass news items. A comprehensive user guide will be provided in the week before Term 3 commences to help you get started, and our ICT Compass support team is available should you need assistance. Thank you for your support as we make this transition.
As the term comes to a close, we are so proud of how far the children have come across all areas of the Pre-schools’ program. Their curiosity, confidence and joy in learning continue to inspire us every day.
We wish all our families a safe and restful break and we look forward to welcoming you back in Term 3.
Kind wishes,
Abigail McFarlane
Pre-schools Coordinator
