Dear Families and Friends
Welcome back everyone to Term 3!
This term we are very fortunate to welcome 13 new students to our school. Starting at a new school can be a very overwhelming experience for children but we know that our kind and caring school community here at Dayboro will be very supportive and welcoming to them all.
Big events this term include Dance Fever lessons. These lessons are part of our school curriculum and will be happening every Thursday for every class, every week. Our first lessons start this Thursday, so payments need to be finalised before then. Please make this a priority this week.
Year 5 Camp is also happening in the last week of the term. This camp is such an important time for our Yr 5 students to bond together as a team as they head into their leadership year- Year 6!
Year 5’s from last year’s camp.
Also start getting organised for our Book Week Dress up day on Wednesday 23rd August. The theme this year is “Read, grow, inspire!”
Last year’s winners 2022
The Yr 5 and 6 students will participate in 3 Interschool Sports days this term on the 11th August, 25th August and 8th September- all Fridays this term. Notes will go home about these soon.
Our Junior Athletics Carnival will be held on Friday 4th August this term.
We have 2 important dates to take note of this term: Monday 14th August will be our Show Holiday and Friday 1st September is our gazetted Student Free day.
Parents will also have the opportunity this term to discuss their child’s learning progress in parent teacher interviews that are scheduled for Weeks 8, 9 and 10 this term. There will be more detailed information provided later in the term.
Also remember to please name personal belongings like jumpers, hats and drink bottles. We have moved any Lost Property items to the office now. All named belongings will be kept at the office for safe return. Eventually unnamed items are disposed of thoughtfully. Unfortunately, the Lost Property box was overflowing with lunchboxes, jumpers and food scraps and rodents and possums were making it their home.
Kind regards
Karen Ryan
