Term 3 promises to be another busy term. The school calendar is full, so make sure you check what's on in the weekly newsletter which comes out every Wednesday.
Flags
As you know, we like to acknowledge all the different countries that our students come from by flying the flag of the country's national day. This term we will be very busy flying flags from 12 different countries. Where possible, Victor and Honor, our cultural ambassadors, fly each flag on the exact day, but sometimes this is not possible because of holidays, weekends, or two countries sharing their national days. Below is a list of the national days being celebrated this term:
The first meeting this term for the parents of our English language learners will be held on Wednesday 10 August in R14 from 9.00 - 9.45 am. Please join Mrs Kingston and I for a chat and a cup of tea or coffee, and, as always, pre schoolers are welcome. Don't forget to sign in at the Office before you come to R14. Several new families have joined our Oaklands community, so please feel free to come along and meet other people. You are all welcome.
