Welcome back to Term 2!

Our staff commenced with a School Development Day on High Potential, Gifted Education. We hope to be able to assist students who demonstrate exceptional abilities or potential with a focus on differentiation in the classroom.

The colder weather is upon us now so please ensure that your children are wearing winter uniform. Label all jumpers and jackets with your child's name as there are so many unclaimed items in lost property. Please reach out to the uniform shop if you wish to stock up on winter uniforms.

There is always something happening at North Ryde Public School and this term is no different. PSSA Winter Sport commences this week and I know that our students will be very excited to test their sporting prowess each Friday. Good luck to all PSSA sport teams!

SportsPro has commenced for students in Years 2-6. The team from SportsPro will be developing athletics skills in students in preparation for our Athletics Carnival in Term 3.

Members of the bands will be having a band workshop next door at St John's Anglican Church on Monday 19th May. Look out for more details shortly.

Stage 1 have an excursion to Field of Mars to complement work done in class. this will occur on Monday 12th May.

Stage 2 students will head to Field of Mars on Monday 26th May for their excursion.

Also, I wish good luck to Pippa Wang and Keira Cheung who will represent our school at the Ryde Public Speaking Competition on Wednesday 7th May.

Our P&C have already got their teams in motion with the Election BBQ, Cake Stall and Plant Sale last weekend. They have also been busy organising the Mothers' Day Stall, which will be held in the hall tomorrow, Wednesday 7th May. Thank you to all the hardworking parents! There were so many of you at the Election BBQ and I also appreciate the support of our students and ex-students at this event. We are so lucky to have your support!
