Merry Christmas

What an exciting year Level 2 has had. It only feels like yesterday that everyone was arriving for their first day of the 2011 school year.

Throughout second Semester students have been fortunate enough to be involved in a number of exciting activities. These include: the grade 2 sleep over, whole School Production, the Disco, Responsibility day, swimming, the Life Education Van, and various exciting dress up days. With the most recent being ‘Mo’ day, where all students magically grew their very own moustache over night.

All Level 2 Teachers are immensely proud of their students, they have all worked extremely hard and made fantastic progress in all areas of the curriculum. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful parents who have helped us over the course of the year, it is greatly appreciated.

A happy and safe Christmas to you all.

Richard Galbraith’s Cartoon Workshops

The Level 4 students participated in two Cartoon Drawing Workshops with Richard Galbraith, author and illustrator of children’s books. Students were taught how to draw some ‘cool’ cartoons.

Mo-day

On Friday 25^th November TVPS celebrated Mo-day. The Level 2 students looked fantastic wearing their moustaches. Everybody really enjoyed playing ‘Pin The Mo On Mr Renshaw’. Some of the Level 2 students won prizes for being the ‘best-dressed’.

Thank you to the parents and students for dressing up once again and for your generous donations.

Broadcast Interrupted

Hello parents, teachers and students, I just want to begin with saying a big thank you to Lauren McCormack for producing such a magnificent  T.V.P.S. production and the Level 4 teachers for their class items, in “Broadcast Interrupted.” The production itself was brilliant, as students from T.V.P.S showcased their acting, singing and dancing skills. Much hard work was placed into the items and teachers worked tirelessly to make sure their students were reading for the night. On the night everything worked like clockwork from the stage lighting to the curtain raising. The event will be one to remember for years to come and I felt very privileged to play a part in it.

The end of the year is fast approaching and I hope all students are working hard and enjoying the final weeks of their current classes.

Bye for now
