Dear Families and Friends
World Teachers’ and all Staff Day
On Friday 25th October we recognise and celebrate the important work our teachers do here at Dayboro State School. We are very fortunate to
have a hard working, caring and supportive team of professionals who strive every day to provide a quality education for our students. This year (same as last year) we are celebrating ALL our support staff on the same day, as the work they do for us and our students is valued as equally.
Every day our team at Dayboro are making a difference and we thank all our staff, for your dedication and the positive impact you deliver.
PREP 2025 INTERVIEWS
Thank you to all our current and future Prep families for attending their Prep interviews last week. It was wonderful to see so many confident and happy new faces. Many we already know because they have older siblings at the school and /or they have attended playgroup and Prep Readiness sessions. It has been very rewarding to work so closely with our amazing Early Educators in our community as we have built and strengthened our relationships over the years and we have seen the difference working together makes for our learners.
If you have not yet had an interview, please make contact with Jill in Administration to arrange a time to introduce your new Preppie.
PREP 2025 INFORMATION SESSION
The information session for parents is on Thursday 7th November 3:30-4:30 in the Prep rooms. This is an information session where parents will learn all about the organisation of Prep, what to bring, stationery requirements and uniforms as well. The P&C will have sampling sizes of uniforms and if parents like will be able to have a tour of our wonderful school at the end of the presentation.
PREP ORIENTATION MORNINGS
This term we are holding our Prep 2025 Orientation mornings on Monday 11/11 9-9:30 in Prep J’s room and Thursday 14/11 9-9:30 in Prep C’s room. These sessions are just for the children to meet the current Prep teachers and become familiar with our prep rooms. Most children will visit with their kindy groups. They do not need to go to both. One session is fine.
PREP READINESS SESSIONS
Our next Prep Readiness Session is on Thurs 7th November 9:15 am with Chappy Hannah. Our Prep Readiness sessions have been well attended and it has been great seeing our future Preps get to know other staff in our school. We have already had some visits from the local Kindy’s. It is such a joy to see next year’s Preps interacting and getting to know our staff, students and each other.
Now that the days are starting to get warmer please remember that it is an expectation that all children wear hats during play times and PE lessons.
The rule is “No Hat, no Play!”
Please remember to name your child’s hat as it makes it much easier to return lost hats to their owners.
Children that do not wear hats are expected to be in the CSA areas during break times.
Thank you to all our amazing staff at Dayboro state school. You all go above and beyond and your care and thoughtfulness for all our students is inspiring. We are all working together towards our common goal and hopes for our learners: Helping our learners to be the best learners and people they can be!
BOOKLISTS are ready.
Bedrock Books are our preferred supplier for 2025. The BOOK LISTS (even PREPS for 2025) are on our school website. Please make sure you order for the correct year level for your child/ren for 2025. Please check previous newsletters if more details are required.
Swimming for Prep, Year 1, 2/3C and Year 3 starts next week! Thursday 24/11.
Children will be swimming every Thursday and Friday for 5 weeks- a total of 10 lessons. The last day of swimming will be Friday 22nd November. While there is not a Junior Swimming Carnival, this last Friday is our Junior Swimming Showcase where parents are invited to come along on this last day especially and watch their students achievements in the pool. A reminder all students will need a bathing cap and a highly visible sun shirt is preferred to swim.
Please make sure payment and permissions have been finalised.
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
