With today’s Digest is our 2013 Calendar. Again, changes may occur, but for the most part it is a<br />
great planner for us as a community. I am looking forward to hearing about everyone’s holiday<br />
adventures and am excited about what is ahead for the 2013 school year. This rain can’t dampen<br />
the <strong>Ascot</strong> spirit.<br />

FROM MRS HADDEN: MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS 3-7<br />
Happy New Year and welcome to the 2013 school year. I am delighted to welcome new students and<br />
families to <strong>Ascot</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>School</strong> and to welcome students returning from last year. I trust that 2013<br />
will be a happy, productive and rewarding year for everybody associated with the middle school –<br />
students, teachers and families.<br />
Please provide your child's teacher with any information which may assist your child in settling into<br />
the new school year.<br />
By setting goals and striving to achieve those goals, it is possible for all students to achieve great<br />
success in their schooling. I encourage every student to build on their achievements of last year.<br />
Discuss with your child the areas in which they would like to develop further skills. When the<br />
children set goals each term we encourage them to set academic, personal and social goals.<br />
Parent Information Evenings<br />
Information Evenings with class teachers will take place during Week 2 (5D in Week 3). I encourage<br />
every parent to attend the information evenings to meet class teachers and learn about your child’s<br />
education program. The evenings provide parents with the opportunity to hear of the expectations of<br />
the school and an outline of the academic and extra-curricular program from your child’s class<br />
teacher.<br />
The Leadership Process<br />
The <strong>School</strong> Captain selection process continues over the next two weeks, building on the foundation<br />
of the Leadership Day in 2012. This week, all Year 7 students will continue their Leadership training<br />
and preparation at school on Friday 1 February. Students applying for <strong>School</strong> Captain will be
