Dear Parents / Caregivers

Welcome to the start of the 2014 school year. I trust you have had a great holiday with your children. Term 1 has now begun, and for the Year 6 children, their last year of primary schooling.

Term One events are as follows…

Week 1 •              Assembly (Friday)
Week 2 •              Meet the Teacher (Tuesday)
                              Aquatics (Thursday)
Week 3 •       Aquatics (Thursday)    
                              BOT BBQ 5.30-7.30pm (Friday)
Week 4 •              Year 3–6 Progress and Achievement Testing begins
                             Aquatics  (Thursday)
                             Swimming Sports (Friday)
Week 6 •            Interschool Swimming Sports (Tuesday 11 March)
Week 10 •         Principal’s Challenge (Friday)
Week 11 •         Tabloids (Thursday)


• Homework will start in Week 3.
• Rebekah Shepard will be working in Room 10 on Thursdays to cover my senior release days.
• Swimming will be on wet or fine unless the weather is really miserable.
• The Birchwood School generative topic for 2014 will be focused around the theme ‘RESPECT – The Birchwood Way’.
(Respect - Give it to Get it/Accept and Respect – we are all different)

I am looking forward to teaching your child this year, and to meeting you all at the ‘Meet the Teacher’ evening. If you are unable to make this meeting, I will be sending home a follow-up newsletter with this information on it.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries or concerns at any time.


Many thanks

Sue Baillie
