Principal's Remarks
Welcome to Prescott Primary Northern for 2020! I can hardly believe I am writing that. I still remember the years leading up to the year 2000 and how monumental that year was and here we are two decades later. As I look at the year ahead, I am reminded of a time a couple of years ago where we had to do an art activity as a part of some leadership meetings. We were given a blank piece of silk and lots of different coloured paints and asked to make whatever we wanted on the silk. Simple enough request, I guess. However, as I looked at the silk and the paints, my mind went into a whirl. Who should I make this for? What colours work well together? What might it be used for? What if I mess this up? How amazing could this look? Where should I start? The same sorts of questions have been zooming around in my head over the break and I think our kids have some similar sorts of reflections at the start of the new school year. I would like to say to them (and you) that we have another great year planned at Prescott Primary Northern with lots and things that have worked well in the past, as well as some new innovations, facilities and activities.
We would love to see you all at our Parent Information Sessions this evening so you can learn more about what is happening in your child’s classroom for this year. Just head to your student’s classroom at either 6, 6.30 or 7pm and you’ll learn lots! It will also give you a chance to have a look at some of the developments we have been working on around the place. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get our new classrooms finished for the start of school, but we plan to move our Year 4s in at the start of Week 6. The back verandah area is available to our children and it’s great and is worth a look.
It was wonderful to hear the joy and enthusiasm among our children yesterday as they met up again with friends and headed off to new classrooms and into a new year.
Have a great week with your kids,
Mark B
