Dear Families,

School Closure Day

A reminder that next Monday 14 August is a school closure day, as outlined in the Term 3 calendar.

Meditation 

Beginning each day with class meditation makes St Paul’s a very special place to be. It helps to create a calm environment and allows the students to focus and connect with their classmates, teachers and their learning space at the beginning of their day. In order for this to be a truly prayerful and special time, we ask that all phones are on silent and not in use at all; that conversation and movement is kept to a minimum; and by moving off swiftly and quietly when meditation is finished so the teachers can commence the learning sessions for the day without disturbance.  

Effective Communication Guidelines for Interactions with Teachers

As we continue to work together to provide the best educational experience for our students, we would like to emphasise the importance of effective communication when reaching out to your child’s teacher.  

When sending emails to teachers, we kindly request that you maintain an appropriate and respectful tone throughout your correspondence. This fosters a positive environment for both parties and ensures a productive exchange of information.

We understand that there may be instances where you need to address concerns raised by your child. In such cases, it is crucial to consider both perspectives - that of the teacher and your child. By doing so, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of the context surrounding the situation. We encourage you to approach these matters with an open mind and seek to collaborate with the teacher in finding the best solution for your child’s benefit.  

Our goal is to maintain a strong partnership between parents, guardians and teachers, ensuring the well-being and success of our students. Effective communication plays a pivotal role in achieving this objective. Let’s continue to work together to create a positive and nurturing learning environment for our children. 

Thank you for your ongoing support.
