The feedback was overwhelmingly positive from staff, parents and children. How wonderful to see parents partnering with the school to support their children to be successful! If you are booked in this week, please make sure you bring your child. It is not the same without them present! Here is a quick survey to give us feedback on the process and to help us continually refine the process that our partnership leads to “Success for Every Child”. Please take 10 minutes of your time to help us best support your child. Thank you to the many families who are supporting their children to have Opportunity to Achieve through both our school musical and our Diwali Assembly. This is our AAROW's of Success in action, even if children did not make it through the audition. The fact that children were prepared to put themselves forward, take a risk and look for opportunity to extend themselves, is one of the many strengths of KJS and evidences parents who care for, and support their children, to be the best that they can be. The number of children auditioning for both activities also evidences the way the arts are valued at KJS. Next Monday, staff will be focussing on three main themes on our continuous professional development (CPD) day. We will continue with our focus on wellbeing, explore best practice regarding inclusive strategies and explore the latest technology systems to support learner agency, wellbeing and achievement. It will be an action packed day. Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy the long weekend this creates for your children. Kind regards 亲切的问候, सधन्यवाद Neill O'Reilly Principal Reminder: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang RehearsalParents please be reminded that all cast members and choir need to attend rehearsal on Saturday 3 November from 9am to 3:30pm.
