Dear Parents,
Firstly your child will be bringing their end of year report home today.
Pupils are invited to bring their parents/carers back into school on Monday 16th July between 3:30 and 6:00. This is primarily an opportunity for your child to share his/her work with you. However if, after reading your child’s report, you wish to talk to his/her teacher this can also be done during this time.
Sadly at the end of next week we have to say goodbye to Miss Havelock, who is going to work in a bilingual school in Germany, and to Miss France, who is returning to Australia. Also Miss Metadjer who is returning to Ireland and Ms Semeniuk. We also say goodbye to one of our T.As Mrs How. On behalf of everyone I’d like to thank them all for their hard work and dedication to Mead and wish them all the very best wishes for the future.
