New SAILors

We’d like to extend a very warm welcome to all the new faces that have joined us recently. Team Glengala is growing rapidly and we can look forward to more exciting times. 

SAIL Glengala’s First Birthday!

On September 13, SAIL Glengala will celebrate its very 1st birthday! We’ve come a long way in such a short period of time. On our first day we had a grand total of 10 people, but one year later we are almost at 90 Glengalans! It’s been amazing to see so much growth, and we look forward to celebrating the occasion.

Xtend Update

We are looking to establish some Xtend programs and workshops from various areas from arts and craft, to music, sport, cooking, and everything in between. At the moment we have several secondary students involved in cooking activities after SAIL, which has proven to be a huge hit.

If you would like to get involved in a SAIL Xtend program, or are wanting to start an Xtend program, please let Kathryn or Simon know on Saturday.

Community Talks

On September 20, we are hoping to host our very first community talk for the Senior SAIL students. The talk will be on domestic violence and the support avenues that are available to families. We would like to continue to hold further community talks in the future and ask that tutors encourage Senior SAIL students to attend the talks as they are very beneficial for parents.

Setting SAIL On Time

Thanks to everyone for arriving on time and helping to setup for the day. This is a huge help as it means we are able to start SAILing at 11am. Just a reminder that we ask you to arrive at 10:50am so we can commence tutoring as soon as possible.

If you are having difficulty arriving at 10:50am, or the SAILors you pick up are taking a long time to get ready, please let Kathryn or Simon know and we will do our best to assist.

Housekeeping Matters

We’d like to extend a thank you to everyone for helping to clean up after tutoring time. Just a reminder to please ensure that all games and books that are borrowed from the library are returned to their respective places. It helps to keep things together, and sets a great example for the younger SAILors.

Thanks also for filling out the ‘can’t come’ form for the weeks you are unable to attend SAIL. It’s a big help with keeping things organised and consistent on Saturdays.

Smooth SAILing,

Simon, Kathryn, Nik and Cara.
