From the Principal

Principal’s Ponderings

Such a warm welcome …

Many thanks for such a warm welcome these past weeks – all staff, students and parents have been delightful in your acceptance of me as your leader.  I feel a sense of belonging being wrapped in the arms of Ascot already.  It is with great anticipation that I have begun our work with the staff and P&C.  Such fun!

About Ascot – getting to know your class teacher and how your child’s class works

We are once again hosting Class Information Evenings for parents on Tuesday 11th February, and we would very much appreciate your attendance.   In our discussions about how to make these evenings most useful and meaningful for you, we have changed them up a bit this year.   We took time to explore what you might want when you come, and what you really want when you come along.  We are of the belief that while parents do want functional information about their classroom, much of this you can read, and thus in attending you ultimately come seeking:

  • a sense of belonging within the school community
  • trust and connection with your teacher/s
  • reassurance and confidence in your teacher’s knowledge and skills (their mind) and in their heart in caring for your child as an individual.

We feel that when you have these, that this enables you to relax as a parent with us, knowing that together “we’ve got this”.  We will be using model to tune into what is important in our school, in each class and also what is important to your teacher as a person.   While we do have a new core presentation, each year level and teacher has then customised this to share with you new insights particular to their class and about them as an individual.

Ps. If you wish to do some background reading by googling Robert Dilts Neuro-logical Levels,  there are many links. This one is as good any for a simple overview.  Your teacher will send their presentation out as a pdf after the meeting, but that will be nothing like the experience of being there, so do come along if you can.
