Dear %%first_name%%,

Nikayla Wicks has made the difficult decision to relinquish her teaching position at Spreyton Primary School for personal reasons.

Obviously, this has been a very difficult decision for Nikayla to make. I ask that you respect Nikayla’s privacy during her remaining time at Spreyton Primary.

Nikayla will finish on Friday, May 16. Felicity Young will start on your child’s class on Monday, May 12. This will allow for a week of handover between the two teachers to ease the transition process. Barrie McClymont will also work with Felicity in a coaching role to allow her to become familiar with our teaching methods. I apologise for any inconvenience this my cause.

Regards,
John Hudson
Principal

Dear Families/Staff

Our recent sausage sizzle and bake stall was a great success and raised just over $1000 for our school. The public, AEC staff and volunteers were very appreciative of our attendance. Our presence added a welcoming and friendly vibe to the courtyard with many visitors sitting and relaxing with their food while having a chat.

A massive thankyou to the people who baked for our stall. A number of people went to a huge effort to provide delicious goods for us to sell.

A number of parents, students, staff and community members volunteered their time on the BBQ and stall during the day, thank you to everyone for donating your valuable weekend time.

Finally, thankyou to the student council who put their artistic skills to work and produced fabulous signage for our stall.

Our collective efforts and contributions resulted in a successful fundraiser with profits to go to school projects which make a positive difference to our school.

Dear Families

We are seeking volunteers to assist our very hard working School Association members with the ‘Election Day Sausage Sizzle and Bake Stall’ this Saturday. If you can spare some time, even just a little, please contact the school office.

Additionally, we are requesting donations of baked goods for our cake stall. Biscuits, slices, cakes, loaves, or any sweet or savoury treats are welcome. You can drop them off at Mrs. Pilon’s last year's classroom on Friday between 8:30-9:00am and 2:30-3:00pm, at the office during school hours, or directly at the stall on Saturday morning from 8:30am onwards. Please include a list of basic ingredients, highlighting any allergens such as nuts.

All proceeds will directly benefit the students of Spreyton Primary.

Thank you for any support you can provide!

Dear Families

Thankfully our phone system is operational again! Thank you for your understanding throughout the period they were down.

Kind Regards
Karen Wicks

Dear Families

Please be advised that our phone lines are still not operational. Unfortunately, the temporary fix using equipment from another school was unsuccessful. We are currently awaiting a necessary part to fully resolve the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimated timeframe for completion. Please continue to use the Schoolzine App and email (spreyton.primary@decyp.tas.gov.au) to communicate with us. We will provide an update as soon as service is restored. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Kind Regards

Dear Families

This coming Saturday (3rd May) the Spreyton Primary School Association Committee is hosting an ‘Election Day Sausage Sizzle and Bake Stall’ in the school courtyard from 9.00am until mid-afternoon.  We are currently seeking volunteers to assist us with cooking and/or serving.  If you are able to help, if even for an hour, please leave your name, number and availability at the school office asap.  Your help will be most appreciated and money raised will directly benefit Spreyton Primary. 

If baking is your thing, we need as many donations of baked good as possible to make for a successful stall.  Biscuits, slices, cakes and loaves or any sweet or savoury treats are very welcome.  This may be an opportunity to get neighbours or grandparents involved if they have a special recipe and enjoy baking.  Plastic trays will be available from the school office from Tuesday if needed.  Due to health regulations, we require a basic ingredient label to be included with special attention placed on any allergens eg.nuts. 

Donations can be dropped to Mrs Pilon’s old classroom this Friday from 8.30am – 9.00am and 2.30pm-3.00pm or can be dropped straight to the stall on Saturday morning from 8.30am onwards.   On delivery a volunteer will record your name and contact details then allocate your goods a number.  Please note your details will NOT be attached to the goods, this is strictly a requirement from the council.  We do ask that you please avoid anything with cream as we will not have access to refrigeration on the day. 

If you're unable to volunteer at the stall or bake, please consider supporting us by casting your vote at Spreyton Primary and grabbing a Democracy Sausage or a treat from our cake stall.

Many thanks,

Kelly Grey
School Association Chairperson

Dear Families

We are currently experiencing issues with our phone system. While we have identified the problem, resolving it requires a specific piece of hardware that is not readily available.

We are endeavouring to temporarily borrow this component from another school to restore functionality, but this process will take some time.

In the meantime, if you need to contact the school, please do so via the Schoolzine app or by emailing us at spreyton.primary@decyp.tas.gov.au.

We are hopeful the issue will be resolved today, though we cannot guarantee this at this stage. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Kind Regards
Karen Wicks
