LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORT


Gympie temperatures have been a little cool in the mornings but warming up beautifully during the day. Due to this a number of children have removed their jackets and jumpers during the day. A large number of these have now found their way to our lost property box. Please come and check the lost property box to see if any jackets or jumpers or the many other items in the box belong to your children.
Kind Regards,
James Watt - Principal
Stacey Seed – Deputy Principal

CHECK IN AT THE HALL
Great News – Check in at the Hall is back (Starts Friday, May 30)
Check In at the Hall at Jones Hill is about encouraging friendships, engaging with peers in conversation and building positive relationships. Starting Week 6, Year 1-6 students are invited to come down to the bottom oval on Friday mornings to have a ‘Walk and Talk’ with friends, followed by a picnic, a friendly chat and a healthy piece of fruit to start their day. Please note - Check In at the Hall will not take place if the weather is not suitable (heavy showers/rain).
Walk and Talk – Fridays from 8.10am – 8.30am on the bottom oval
Join us on the bottom oval for a chat and a walk while we enjoy the sunshine and some social interaction. Keep an eye out for some Trivia questions to keep you entertained! Everyone MUST have a hat.
Picnic and Chat - 8.30am – 8.45am
At 8.30, walking will cease. Students may stay, sit on the rugs, enjoy a free piece of fruit and engage in a chat with peers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
