Thank You

Dear Parents/Caregivers

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your kindness and support throughout the year. We have felt so privileged to have had the opportunity to teach your daughters and to get to know them as individuals. It is with sadness that we say goodbye to them today, but we know that we are lucky enough to have the honour of watching them continue to flourish as they move through the “Wilderness.”

Thank you all for your generous and thoughtful gifts. They are all very much appreciated.

We would like to wish you all a very safe and happy festive season with your families, and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2017.

Many thanks.

Kindest regards

Jill and Heather

Filming with Thomas

Dear Parents,

Next Thursday November 10, Lucy Booth who is the Project Manager on the Digital Technologies Hub project for Education Services SA, is visiting our classroom to talk with students about the excellent work they’ve been doing with the humanoid robot Thomas.

On the day, she would like to film the girls with Thomas in our class setting and hear from a few of them on what they’ve been doing, what they enjoy and any challenges they’ve had.

All of the girls have come home with a consent form which will need to be signed in order for them to participate. Please return by Monday 7th November 2017.

Solar Boat Trials

Tomorrow and Wednesday of this week, both Year 6 classes will be walking up Hawkers road to a Wildy family home to trial their solar boats in their swimming pool.

The girls will be accompanied by their class teachers and Mr Mike Wilmer who has mentored them with this program.

Let’s hope for plenty of sunshine!
