Mr T Retirement
On Wednesday this week we farewelled a much beloved figure at Ashy - Mr T. Kevin Terrasson first arrived at Ashy at the end of 2014 after many decades teaching in NSW. Over the next ten years, Mr T filled a number of different roles - classroom teacher across Years 2-6, library teacher, tutor learning teacher. But Mr T also filled hearts with his kind words, gentle ways and positive attitude. Mr T finished up in a teaching role at the end of 2024, but with his busy new schedule we haven't been able to give him a proper farewell until this week. We won't be missing him though, as we'll see Mr T back for a few days as a CRT next term.
Gearing up for the Art Show
It's not just the students who have been busily preparing for next term's Art Show. This week Miss T opened up the Art Room to staff and laid out a range of resources and styles for teachers to unleash their creative flair. Some dabbed at water colours, others tried their hand with pipe cleaner flowers, while others attempted to re-create animals using sketching techniques. A big thank you to Miss T for offering up her expertise and for the teachers in giving their time. We will see the staff art as well as student masterpieces at next term's Art Show.
Ashy Olympics
We had a great day at the track today for Ashy Olympics. We'll have a more detailed report next Ashy News!
Hats are back in style
This week as we begin Spring it's a reminder that students need to be wearing hats during playtimes and outdoor events at school. It's a great idea to ensure your child's hat is NAMED because they have a nasty habit of getting lost. Naming uniform items means that you've got a really good chance of lost items making their way back to you!
