Week 3, Term 1, 2021

Update from Leadership

It was great to see so many families visiting classrooms at last week’s Meet The Teacher night. Children are always excited to show parents their classrooms so it was fabulous to see so many of you at school.

We always welcome parent contact at school but we do need to do so in a COVID-safe way. Please note the following guidelines about school drop off and pick up:

Make it quick – stay for less than two minutes

Keep your distance – keep 1.5m from others

Wait outside the gate or the classroom

If you need to see your child’s teacher please wait until they are not busy with dismissing students. Teachers often have meetings after school so may not be able to see you on the day so you can arrange another time to meet or contact the office on 8955 2100 to schedule a meeting.

Just a reminder about some coming events:

• Community Engagement Session – Thursday 25^th February at 5pm in the library. Come along and hear about the various programs on offer at Bradshaw.
• School Council AGM – Monday 1^st March at 5.30pm in the library. Parent nominations are still open – contact Tracie Richardson on the office if you would like further information or would like to nominate to be part of School Council.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make the Kiss and Go a safer place in the afternoons by not coming until 2.55pm. This keeps the traffic flowing smoothly. Please also note there is parking available on the Flynn Drive oval side of the school for drop offs and pick ups too.

End of Summer Festival at Bradshaw

It is so important that EVERY child is at school EVERY day. To celebrate our great attendance so far this year we are planning an End of Summer Festival. Students can wear their favourite summer outfit, sausage sizzle lunch, fun and games throughout the day - too much to miss. Be here!!! 

Uniform Delays

We have received an update from our uniform suppliers who have advised there will be a further delay to the shipment of our school t-shirts. This unfortunately means we will have no smaller sized shirts until this arrives. We kindly ask that if any parents have any old uniforms they are no longer wanting and would love to pass on to other families we will gladly accept these at the front office. We appreciate all our families that have kindly donated already. 

Sports Voucher Scheme

We have sent notes home with our students this week advising that the NT Gov Sports Vouchers are now available for all families to access. Please go to www.sportvoucher.nt.gov.au for more information.
