Message for Kindergarten Parents and Carers

21 Feb 2019

Dear Kindergarten Parents and Carers,

Due to circumstances beyond our control the Kindergarten Canteen Excursion needs to be postponed from tomorrow until next Thursday, 28 February.

Ms Wilson apologises to all Kindergarten students as they have been looking forward to this excursion with great excitement. Please try to keep that excitement going for another week.

Gifted and Talented Education - GATE

21 Feb 2019

Included in the last newsletter (11 February) there was information regarding a Certificate of Gifted Education Course - GERRIC.

Within this information we asked for parents' permission to have an additional Staff Development Day (SDD) at the beginning of Term 2 so all our teachers at WPPS would be able to complete this intensive course to enhance your children's learning. This would mean that the students would come back to school on Wednesday 1 May and there would be no SDD in Term 3 - children would return to school on Monday 27 July.

A decision needs to be made by next Tuesday 26 February. Would you please send a quick email to the school westpymble-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au as to whether or not you approve of this change.
