Dear Parents,

As we are drawing to the end of a very successful term our students’ learning continues each day right up to Thursday this week.

Our Literacy and Numeracy blocks are specifically planned by each classroom teacher so it is extremely important that students are in attendance from 9:00am every day. We avoid, wherever possible, to schedule any other event in the morning block to ensure that learning routines are not interrupted. On the whole we do this really well.

Today, we have 6 students participating in the Western Region Cross Country at Boorowa:

Zayn, Ryley, Amara, Liam W, Phillip and Ruby are all great runners and performed well at our recent carnival at the Batlow Golf Course. We wish them every success in their event and look forward to hearing their report tomorrow.

On a final note this week is Holy week. The challenge Jesus faced on his journey carrying the cross is solemnly reflected upon by Christians all around the world this Good Friday. Please know that St Mary’s Batlow will have an Easter Sunday Mass at 8:30am. All families are welcome.

I wish you all a Holy, safe and restful holiday break. We look forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 20 April for all students for Term 2.

Jannine
