Handing Back to Kay Bradley

Being Acting Deputy Principal for the last part of the term has been a busy and enjoyable experience. I take my hat off to Kay Bradley for her incredible efforts as a Deputy Principal and I’m sure the New Farm community understands the important role she plays for the school. As Kay returns, I will be heading off to Central Office to work on the Technologies Curriculum, Premier’s Coding Challenge and many new areas of innovation.

I have thoroughly enjoyed providing guidance around technology to students, teachers and the community and I look forward to hearing all about the school in the future.

Assembly

On Friday morning we will have our last whole school assembly for 2021. This is a time to celebrate our amazing learning journey at New Farm State School. As a parent I am so proud of my little one’s journey and I’m sure you are too.

Swimming Carnival

At this stage the Junior Swimming carnival is going ahead tomorrow as planned. Prep to Year 1 students will swim in the morning and Year 2 and 3 students will swim in the afternoon.

The Senior Swimming Carnival has been rescheduled for Monday. Let’s hope the sunny weather returns to the Sunshine State.

Please be aware the carnivals are for students only, due to limited seating around the pool.

Second BYO iPad Information Session 

On Friday morning parents attended the latest information session. Digital Citizenship was a major focus of the event and we will be developing a plan to roll out in 2022. As part of the process teachers are trialling a number of programs with their classes. We look forward to providing you plenty of guidance as we work together to support all families.

If you have a child in Year 3 to 6, please refer to the BYO iPad Spark page.

Class Parties

Class parties will be organised by individual year levels. Please refer all questions to classroom teachers.
