​Junior School News T2 W9 2022

What a fantastic Term 2 we have had in the Junior School!

I am so proud of all our students for the courage, curiosity and care they show each and every day when they come to school. Our parents have worked hard to make it through 9 weeks of school routines and lunch boxes. Our kids have worked hard to try new things and take on challenges both inside and outside the classroom. Our teachers have worked hard to help your child to achieve their own personal best. Our community is one that is unique, one that works together and one that makes Faith a special place to be. Over the upcoming holidays, I hope you can share some special family moments, listen to stories about what your children have learnt this term and take moments to pause, reflect and recharge where you can. Term 3 is already looking exciting and I can’t wait to see all our students return on Monday 11th July. It is wonderful news that we will be welcoming some new students into our Faith community next term, so if you see a new face around the school, please stop and say hello and welcome them.

JUNIOR SCHOOL OFFICE – The Junior School office will remain open these holidays from 9:00am – 3:00pm. We trust this supports our families with queries, payments and preparations for Term 3.

JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORTS – We have been working hard to prepare our end of Semester reports to share with families. These will be made available in the Parent Lounge portal by the end of this week. We hope you enjoy reflecting and celebrating the growth your children have achieved, academically / socially or both, at this midpoint in the year. Report cards help us to give parents a ‘snapshot in time’ of your child’s progress but we must remember the developmental journey of Junior School education. If all our students are curious and engaged in learning, giving their best effort and taking on new challenges then the efforts they put in will assist them to achieve their personal best. It is these partnerships between school, home and students that help us to work together to support your child through their educational journey.

VOLUNTEER INDUCTION SESSIONS – If you would like to be a classroom helper next term or a parent volunteer for one of our events, make sure you email our Junior School office and let them know you are keen to complete the induction course. We would love to have as many parents available to volunteer as possible!

CAFÉ FLOURISH – It has been great to have this back in action this term to give parents a chance to chat and connect with each other. We are looking for feedback to find ways to keep this space working for our community so if you have a suggestion on how we can use Café Flourish to help you connect with each other as parents please email us at juniorschool@flcr.qld.edu.au .

Thank you for another great term of learning and community at Faith! We are so proud of each and every one of our students and thankful for the partnerships we continue to make and strengthen. We look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.
