Morning everyone!

We have another busy week ahead! More Y1 colleagues will be visiting our K2 children for transition, and a few of our own colleagues will be away for PD most of this week. As a result, we won’t be able to meet on our usual Tuesday, so Friday lunch will be our only option. Thank you for your understanding!


For this Week

Tuesday: KS K2-Y1 transition visits

Thursday: CWBS K2-Y1 transition visits (PM)

Friday: BS K2-Y1 transition visits | Teacher Lunch Meeting

Next week: **Fire Drill posted to Tuesday, 20 May**


Friday Meetings

  • CP will be the new K1 & K2 teacher groups to plan the K1 to K2 transition and the first few days of school, as we’ll need to inform parents soon. LE Team, please cover the new teams, and the SLT will confirm arrangements.
  • During our teacher lunch meeting, we would like to take some time for a Post-Walk Reflection on the observations and insights gathered. We hope these reflections will inform our practices, particularly focusing on enhancing transitions and vertical alignment.


Upcoming Charity Event

In celebration of the one-year anniversary of our LUUNA initiative at Hilside, we’ll be recognising Menstrual Health Awareness Day on 28 May. Participation is free, and there’s no obligation to donate. You can find more details about the charity run here: Event Link.


New Learning Management System (LMS)

As you may know, we have two new vendors to provide a unified, connected system across all ESF schools: Toddle and Sentral. We are one of the five schools piloting these new systems in August 2025.

The admin team and SLT will be laying the groundwork with ESFC over the next few weeks to ensure the systems are up and running. However, please be aware that, as with all new systems, we may experience some initial glitches. There will be reps from Toddle, Sentral, and ESF onsite to support pilot schools. Rest assured, our existing systems and platforms will still be available during the transition phase, and we will do our utmost to advocate for our community’s interests.

Upcoming Dates
Please check our internal calendar below. We might forget to remind everyone of odd dates. We will continue to add events as soon as they're confirmed. Here's the full 2024/25 Calendar and DRAFT 2025/26 Calendar.

Thank you!
