Colour Run SUCCESS!

What a great afternoon we had recently for the colour run! Our P&C really outdid themselves in organising such a fun, engaging community event. Of course, we were focussed on fundraising for a new playground and fundraise we did!

The P&C have raised approximately $15,000. A big thank you to all the families who fundraised for our school.

Our class winners with an average/student:

Prep J: $119.13/student

Prep C: $117.27/student

3C: $112.29/student

With class results so close, the P&C would like to offer both Prep classes their choice of a movie afternoon or pizza party, students can discuss with their teachers. 3C will receive an ice cream of choice for each student.

Staffing news

Saying Happy Retirement to Mrs Costelloe at assembly on Monday was super memorable. We acknowledge Lorelle’s 25-year commitment to our school as a teacher aide. Lorelle and her brothers also attended Dayboro State School as students. Mrs Costelloe has been a long-time support for our DSS students and staff. She has listened and encouraged MANY students to read and learn in all areas over her time here as a teacher aide. In her community roles as President and now Vice President of the Lion’s Club, she has been a huge support for our beautiful school. We know that we will not say "Goodbye” to Mrs Costello as a DSS friend, but we farewell her as a staff member. Have a wonderful trip Lorelle and enjoy the chance to finally put your feet up and let your family look after you.

I am taking some long service leave from the end of this week through to the middle of week 1, term 4, and travelling over to Europe with my family. Karen Ryan will capably step up as Acting Principal during this time and Dee Mathieson as Acting Deputy Principal. I know these ladies will be in touch around any important end of term communications.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the parents for your support during term 3. It has been a busy community event term and rich with learning for our students. I do not underestimate your role in ensuring that our children are here and ready for learning each morning. Our staff are extremely committed to your children and also lucky to have your support.

Have a wonderful Spring holiday!
