First newsletter of the year!

Welcome to Year Six Green at Trinity College.

Hello my name is Andrew Hayes and I am delighted to be your son’s teacher this year. Below I have compiled a general information list which you may find useful. I look forward to working with you this year to ensure that your son has a rewarding and enjoyable year.

Parent Information Evening will take place on Wednesday the 18^th February at 5.30pm. It is recommended that a representative from each family be in attendance, as important information regarding Year 6 Camp will be given out on this day. The following information below will be covered in greater detail at the Parent Information Evening.

 Parent Communication:

You will receive most communication from me via email messages and also on the class blog. You can contact me via email: hayes.andrew@trinity.wa.edu.au      Class notices and information regarding upcoming events will be accessible via our class blog at https://year6greentrinity.blogspot.com Please visit the blog regularly to see what’s happening. A copy of this letter will also be kept as a record on the blog. 

 Homework:

Homework is given to the boys on Monday of each week. They will have all week to complete their homework, handing it in to me by Friday. This form of homework is designed to assist the students to develop their time management and organisational skills and fit in around commitments during the week.

Homework will be written in the student diary at the start of the week. I ask that parents mark the completed mathematics homework, in order to give the students immediate feedback and allow them to improve on any skills during subsequent homework sessions.

Students are required to read for at least 20 minutes each evening. They may choose to read their library book, the newspaper or a book from home. If your son is unable to complete homework due to family commitments, please put a brief note in your son’s diary or email me.

Uniform and Absentees:

Please be aware that if your son is absent, you must call the absentee line before the commencement of school (9223 8186) and leave a message or write a message on the link provided on the College Website. If your son arrives late, he must report to Student Services.

General Excursions/ Viewing:

There may be times throughout the year where we take the students on a general outing. This may involve a walk down to the park or travelling by bus to other schools for interschool carnivals. In addition, as part of our language program we may need to use pieces of teacher chosen movies that are rated PG. Please sign the permission slip attached to allow your child to participate in these activities. We ask that this permission slip be returned by Friday 6^th February.

The slips will go home on Mon 2^nd of Feb

 Kind Regards,

 Andrew Hayes 6 Green Class Teacher
