PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
PRINCIPALS REPORT
Hello Swan Reach,
Hoping the season of ‘bugs and flus’ isn’t impacting too harshly on you, your family and your mental health. It can be more difficult to remain resilient and mentally healthy when one’s physical health is challenged. In such times, it is beneficial to have a good team around for support, along with positive thinking and self-efficacy, that are also of enormous assistance. SRAS staff and students have experienced the impact of wider-spread illness recently and it is a credit to them that they have coped as well as they have. With many bugs, and some quite nasty ones about, it is a timely reminder to ensure ill students (and adults) remain off-site until symptoms have eased. Unfortunately, classrooms are very good bug incubators, so keeping ill children at home will help to keep our community healthier.
FAREWELL
We wish Naomi, Thomas and Renee, our very best for their futures as they leave SRAS secondary. We will miss their friendship and contributions to classroom and yard interactions.
WELCOME
We warmly welcome Jaymee-Lee to our secondary sector and her siblings, Toree-Lee, Brenix and Natalia-Lee, to our primary classrooms. We also welcome their family, who have previous connection with SRAS.
MID MURRAY OUR TOWN (MMOT) YOUTH CONNECTOR
SRAS continues to benefit from its long-term partnership with MMOT, with its newest Youth Connector initiative that will launch shortly. In brief, MMOT will seek and recruit the right person to collaborate with our youth (secondary students), to facilitate a fortnightly after school hours function. The functions will be decided by the community youth and families and held in the gymnasium. Long-term wellbeing data, highlights this need as our children and youth are hungry for more events and connection opportunities outside of school.
Kind regards,
Mr John Robertson
Principal
