PBL UPDATE! Awards at Dayboro.
A reminder that each week we give a Principal’s Award to a student who displays consistent and reliable efforts in living our school values of being Safe, Respectful and a Learner every day and in every way! The children who receive this award each week are invited at the end of each term to a Principal’s Morning Tea held in Week 10 of each term.
Also, those students who receive our special Golden Gotchas get a special certificate and go into the draw to receive the Sheriff’s Award also given out at the end of each term. This is a prize voucher and certificate presented by Sgt Ken on Assembly, also in Week 10, of each term and recognises those students who go above and beyond, to demonstrate excellent citizenship at our school.
Dayboro’s Little Learners are back this term.
We will start again on Friday 25th July. Week 2 of the term at 9am in the Helping Hands House. See everyone there!!!
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
