Dear Parents and Caregivers

One of our P&C’s projects for the year reached a conclusion at last night’s meeting with approval granted for the installation of air conditioning to our school library. This has been made possible through parent and community support for fundraising activities throughout the past year and is going to make a measureable difference to the learning experiences for both students and staff. Our school library is a central focus point in our school and is the hub for many technology and robotic activities as well as our book collections.  We are all looking forward to this step forward in our school in our school improvement journey.

Woolworths Earn and Learn 

Thankyou to everyone who has supported this promotion to date. As of Monday 10 June, we have collected over 18000 stickers.  The promotion runs until Tuesday 25 June so there is still plenty of time to collect and return the stickers. Spare collections sheets are available at the school office.

In 2017, we were able to purchase about $3000 worth of classroom supplies for our students as a result of the Earn and Learn campaign. 

Winter Disco – Date and Theme Claimer

Our School Disco will be held on Friday 21 June  ( P-2: 5.30pm-6.30pm and Years 3-6 : 7.00pm-8.30pm). Our Student Council has decided upon the theme of “The Wild West” for this year’s event.  More details will be provided closer to the date. 

Prep Enrolments -2020

We are already receiving enquiries about our Prep program for 2020. We are pleased to provide information and enrolment information anytime at our school office.  However, I am able to advise that our Prep Information and Enrolment Morning will be held on Wednesday 28 August at 9.30am in our School Hall.  This will be followed up with Prep interviews for all newly enrolled students from 14-18 October and a Prep Orientation Day on Tuesday 12 November.

If you have a child born between 1 July 2014 – 30 June 2015, he/she is eligible for Prep enrolment at Dayboro State School in 2019. Please note that Dayboro State School has an Enrolment Management Plan in place – please check at http://education.qld.gov.au/schools/catchment/ for further information.

We have had several enquiries regarding enrolling at Dayboro Prep from outside the catchment area. Families who view Dayboro as their school of choice are very welcome to submit an enrolment application, however the outcome of the application will not be advised until late October when available places are allocated in the order of receipt. 

I would be pleased if this information could be circulated to people who are known to you and are wishing to enrol in our Prep program in 2020.
