Hearing Awareness Week
World Hearing Day, held on 3 March 2021, presents a global call for action to address hearing loss and ear diseases.
The theme of World Hearing Day is Hearing care for ALL! Screen. Rehabilitate. Communicate.
The key messages of World Hearing Day 2021 target:
- The number of people living with unaddressed hearing loss and ear diseases is unacceptable
- Timely action is needed to prevent and address hearing loss across the life course
- Good hearing and communication are important at all stages of life
- Hearing loss (and related ear diseases) can be avoided through preventative actions such as: protection against loud sounds; good ear care practices and immunisation
- People at risk of hearing loss should check their hearing regularly
- People having hearing loss (or related ear diseases) should seek care from a health care provider
Our Year 5 students will hold 'Sound Bites' tabloid activities tomorrow to help raise community awareness of the impact of hearing loss and how implementing simple preventative strategies can protect this valuable sense.
Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation for this important cause.
Three-Way Conversations and Interim Reports
Next Monday and Tuesday you are invited to attend a ten-minute three-way (parent/student/teacher) conversation with your child's classroom teacher. This conversation will provide you with an opportunity to discuss how your child has settled into the new school year, their social development and engagement with learning.
At this meeting, the teacher will also provide you with your child's Interim Report, and Personal Plan, for children accessing additional support programs. The Interim Report gives you an indication of your child's enjoyment and interest in learning new things, ability to ask and answer questions, perseverance with tasks, work habits, ability to avoid distractions, follow school rules and collaborate with others.
If you have not booked a time slot yet, please use the link below. Please be aware that this booking platform closes on Sunday afternoon. If you have trouble booking through the digital Session Keeper please contact Belinda. Likewise, if none of the appointment times suit, please contact Belinda to arrange a more suitable time.
