Deputy's News
Dear Families and Friends
Welcome back everyone to Term 4. I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing break and enjoyed the extra day-Monday off. We also welcome 4 new families to our school this term. I’m sure everyone will make them feel welcome.
2023 planning is underway. Booklists are ready to go and are found on online at www.backtoschoolbooklists.com.au
Bedrock Books are our preferred supplier. Further details on how to place orders are in the Booklist section below.
A reminder that swimming for Prep to Year 2 starts in Week 2 on Thursday 13th October. Children will swim twice a week on Thursdays and Fridays for 5 weeks in total. Please make sure payments are made before next week so that teachers can finalise timetabling arrangements. A note will go home from teachers this week about what to bring and times for swimming.
In Week 3 of this term, Years 5 and 6 will be participating in our annual “Talk About It” unit. This program is part of the Life Education group of programs and covers important aspects of children’s social, emotional and physical health needs. Notes and invoices for this program have been sent home last term.
Week 6 of this term sees our Year 6 students heading off to camp.
Towards the end of the term we will be having our Junior and Senior Swimming Carnivals and our final year assemblies and Yr 6 Graduation but we will be sending home more information about these closer to the dates.
REMINDER: Swimming starts in Week2 for Prep-Year 2 children. Remember to pack togs, towel, swimming cap, sunshirt and goggles, if needed.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS ABOUT KEEPING KIDS SAFE AT SCHOOL.
All students are reminded to wait in the CSA before school between 8:15 am and 8:40 am. Children are not to wait outside classrooms or other areas around the school. When the bell goes at 8:40am students walk up to their classrooms. This is an important safety aspect and it is very important children are reminded of this expectation. Thank you parents for helping us keep your children safe!
Thank you to Mr Horne, Mrs Mills, Chappy Rachael and Mr Enchelmeier for attending the Yr 5 camp. From all accounts it was a hugely fun and successful camp with lots of team building and personal growth challenges had.
