Principal's Greeting
Dear Churchill Families,
As we approach the final two weeks of Trimester 2, I want to remind you to continue encouraging your student to finish strong by staying focused and completing all assignments. If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them at home to rest and recover. Otherwise, we encourage them to attend school regularly.
If your student has missed more than 10 days of school, you can expect a letter from me this week. We are committed to working together to ensure that every student is present and actively engaged in their learning.
Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you and your family an amazing week ahead!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Peacock

Attendance Matters
We are excited to welcome our students to school each day! To maintain a healthy school environment, please keep your child at home if they are feeling unwell. Timely attendance is crucial—frequent tardiness or early departures disrupt the learning experience for all students. We encourage you to support your child's success by ensuring they have a consistent routine, eat nutritious meals, and get plenty of rest.
For any attendance-related matters, please be sure to communicate directly with your child’s teacher and the main office. Thank you for your cooperation in helping our students stay engaged and on track!
