A Dayboro Learner Qualities!

As we have communicated over this semester, we have been working with our students on the qualities of A Dayboro Learner.

We are super proud of our students working hard to understand these qualities and demonstrate them when learning. Look at how well we are going:

Next week we are going to introduce our last quality of A Dayboro Learner at our assembly….Craig the Croc who is a Courageous Learner. We can’t wait to help our students understand how to be a Courageous Learner!!!

Planning for 2024 – Class Consideration

We are busy planning enrolments, facilities, resources and staffing for the 2024 school year. If you have a child due to start Prep in 2024 and have not yet enrolled, please contact our Administration Officers ASAP.

If you have any information that you would like us to consider for your child’s class placement in 2023, please email me on the principal email address, Principal@dayboross.eq.edu.au by Thursday 2 November. Please note:

• You may wish to include information about family circumstances that should be considered
• You may like to describe the qualities in a teacher that suit your child
• We do not accept requests for a specific teacher.

A reminder that we usually only have two classes in each year level, so we cannot always accommodate student grouping requests. Our staff work extremely hard to achieve the best outcomes across all class groups and we certainly consider parent information. This is a confidential request.

Please also notify, by email, if your child will not be returning to Dayboro SS in 2024, so that we can ensure our staffing and resources are as accurate as possible.

Thanks for your assistance.

Student Leadership Opportunities

We are about to commence discussing with our Year 5 students the leadership opportunities for 2024. We will also begin to include our Year 4 students in this process. After Parade next week, we will meet with our Year 5 students to discuss the application process for 2024 leadership positions and the timeline for the process.

Please see attached the leadership process and timeline for this term. We look forward to working with these cohorts of students to provide opportunities and also information for electing great school leaders.

Parent Calendar

A reminder that our Term 4 Parent Calendar (attached) has all of our school events listed. Swimming commences for Prep, Year 1, 1/2A and Year 3 classes tomorrow. I know that the teachers have sent information to parents regarding the organisation of these lessons.

Student Success!

We were so excited to recently have 3 of our students Heidi, Emily and Makynli participate in the State Athletics Carnival! What a fantastic effort for the girls to get to this level.

Emily was awarded 3^rd place in Queensland in the Tetra events and will be travelling to Tasmania for the Nationals! Good luck Emily!!

Another student achievement was Matilda who competed in the Cooyar Camp Draft recently where she placed 1st place. What an achievement after all of Matilda’s hard work with training. Congrats!!!

Urgent news re excursions/incursions

After our Administration Officers spending multiple hours on the phone this year chasing up payments for incursions and excursions, we will unfortunately now be withdrawing students who haven’t paid from these events by the day. We do send multiple reminders to families encouraging them to complete the payments, or a payment plan. Class Teachers also send emails to remind parents. The easiest way is to sign up for QParents to keep a track of permission forms and invoices.

When doing your permission on QParents, please ensure that when you get to the end of the form you tick the small box on the bottom left of the screen.  THEN, press SAVE

Have a great week! Gabrielle
