Welcome to all the Parents and Caregivers of Room 19.

My name is Jack Yoon and I am truly excited and privileged to be able to assist your child in their learning this year. During our first few days we have been developing rules and routines for our classroom. We are learning about what is important in our classroom, so we can all learn. By discussing our ideas, the children and I have come up with our treaty and routines together that will enable us to learn in a positive and caring environment.

Uniform: I was very pleased to see the students come back to school in their uniforms. Please make sure that each uniform item is named so your child can take care of their belongings. Children need to wear their own brimmed hats in Term 1 and 4.

Swimming: Our swimming days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday every week.  Please ensure your child brings their togs and towel in a named plastic bag on these days.

Topic: For this year, our topic is ‘Treasure - Taonga’.  The focus is to develop and create a depth of knowledge in our life, community, culture and families about treasure. This topic will be led and guided by the students and myself. I am very excited to get into this interesting topic.

Homework: For homework, the children will have a reading book each night. It would be great if you could work with your child in these areas. Math basic facts sheet will also be sent home.


If you have any concerns regarding your child, or have any questions or comments, please be in contact. I look forward to working along side you and your child this year.
