Professional Learning for all teachers at Reece High School Consultant Pam Burton on Managing Challenging behaviors and issues around boys’ education

Friday 3rd July 2009 Student Free Day

Welcome back to Term 2. It is good to see so many students in uniform but there are still far too many people out of uniform, please take the time to ensure your child is appropriately clothed, uniforms can be purchased from the school. As is always the case there are some staff changes. Firstly welcome back to Mrs Cindy Johnston from maternity leave. Cindy has returned to school 3 days a week. Mrs Leanne Wickham and Mrs Karina Van Essen have returned one day a week working on special projects. Mr Nic Page has joined the team from a position in Drug Education Network and Ulverstone High, and Mr Gavin Smith who has been transferred from Parklands High. At the end of term 1, we farewelled Mr John Summers who has returned to Launceston, we wish him well for the future. Finally we would like pass on our congratulations to Ms Glover and Mr Heathcote who got married during the holidays. We now have another Mr & Mrs on our team. Term 2 is always a challenging time due to weather conditions and illness however for the moment the concern around Swine Flu has lessened but we ask that families follow the notes around flue signs and symptoms – that way we will all be healthier. Make this term count for your child – get them to school, on time, in uniform and ready for work. Please don’t forget to inform the school as to the reason why your child is absent.
