Dear Families and Friends

TRANSITIONS 

At this time of year, we start to look forward to a very important part of our role here at Dayboro and that is educating our students for all settings and preparing them for change. Not only do we start to think about welcoming and providing information to our future Prep students and families for 2024 but we also begin to prepare our Yr. 6 students for the next phase of their education journey- the transition into high school.

Our Partnerships with both early educators and high schools are very important to us and we encourage their involvement and participation in our school as much as we can.

PREP 2024

To help with the transition from Kindy to Prep we are planning to hold a PREP INFORMATION session on Wednesday 16^th August at 4:30pm where all parents enrolling their children in Prep for 2024 are welcome to attend and learn more about our school and our Prep rooms and teachers.  Children are welcome to attend and we will have a play area set up at the back of the hall. We follow this information session up with a series of visits to Prep for these students in Term 4.  

IMPORTANT PBL NEWS!       

Our Values Awards are: Be Kind, Be Positive, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Proud and Be Tolerant.

Our Behaviour Expectations Rewards: Every week we also have students who receive GOTCHA awards. These students are spotted by other teachers in the playgrounds and classrooms and rewarded for doing the right thing with a GOTCHA award. These  then go into the draw box where every week, 4 students names are pulled out of the box. The winners receive a prize from the Prize Box and an ice block voucher.

NAME OUR TUCKSHOP COMPETITION

Exciting news! Our tuckshop menu and ordering online system is getting a revamp and make over. So, we thought what a great time to also find a new name for the tuckshop. So we put it out to our students to come up with ideas and suggestions for what they would like their favourite eating place to be called. We have had so many entries already. The P&C are going to be selecting the winning entry… stay tuned. Entries close next Friday.

Thank you to all our community volunteers who help with the Chappy Pancake breakfast Tuesday morning. The children said the pancakes were “yummy”

Thanks to our wonderful Outside School Hours Care Educators Helping Hands.  We thank you for yor support and all the wonderful ways you partner with our school and look after our learners before and after school.
