Welcome to Term 2, Week 2!
We hope everyone had a refreshing break. With two public holidays last week and another long weekend ahead in Week 3, Term 2 is already off to a busy start! We are excited to welcome Lachlan and Jackson back into our classroom. It is wonderful to see you return to Conondale State school and settle in. We’re so glad to have you as part of our school community!

A big thank you to all the students, parents, and staff who participated in the ANZAC Day commemorations in Maleny. A special mention to our Year 6 students who respectfully represented our school by reading a poem at the Maleny Hospital service.

New date for our Surf Skills program at Alexandra Headlands! It has been rescheduled for this Thursday, May 1^st. Please ensure students arrive at school on time, ready for a day of fun and learning! Students are extremely excited and looking forward to building their surf safety knowledge, catch some waves, and boost their confidence in the ocean.

This term, we’ll also be getting our hands dirty in the Garden of Promise on Friday afternoons. We would love some extra helping hands — parents, grandparents, friends — everyone is welcome! If you’re free and would like to join us, we’d love to see you there.

Our PBL focus for weeks 1 and 2 is

‘I am respectful. I follow instructions first time, every time.’

In short, it’s about listening, respecting, acting, and helping things run smoothly! Year 3-6 are learning to listen actively, acting straight away, moving quickly and quietly between activities and showing respect. When everyone follows instructions the first time, the whole class learns more and stays on track.

A significant improvement in attendance last term has demonstrated student commitment and dedication to learning at our wonderful school. Keep it up!

Enjoy the upcoming long weekend!

Warm regards,

Miss Vergens
