Dear Families and Friends

Welcome back everyone to Term 3. A special welcome to our new students and families that have enrolled this term.

Big events this term include Dance Fever lessons. These lessons are part of our school curriculum and will be happening every Thursday for every class. Our first lessons start this Thursday, so payments need to be finalised before then. Please make this a priority this week. There will be an end of term celebration of a Family Dance Night on Thursday 12th September to look forward to. Our Walkathon is happening in Week 3 and Book Week will be upon us sooner than we think in Week 6.  So, start thinking about those costumes. The theme for Book Week this year is “Reading is my Super Power.” Year 5 are heading to Camp Currumundi in Week 5 this term and Year 4 will take part in Bike Ed lessons  in the last week of the term.

Of course, amongst all these events the children will continue to do what they do best at Dayboro … learning!  Parents will also have the opportunity this term to discuss their child’s learning progress in parent teacher interviews that are scheduled for Weeks 9 and 10 this term.

Lastly, a reminder about uniform expectations here at Dayboro. Thank you everyone for making a fantastic effort with uniforms. It is great to see so many children wearing their uniform with pride. A remidner too that we would like to see as many children as possible wear their checked formal uniform on a Monday. The Uniform Shop is also now open every Monday morning to assist with any uniform needs. Please help us with these expectations as we take great pride here at Dayboro in wearing our uniform correctly.

Also please remember to name personal belongings like jumpers, hats and drink bottles. We had quite a collection of items in the Lost Property box at the end of last term that we could not return to their owners as they were unnamed. Thank you for your support!

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY AT SCHOOL.

Unfortunately for our students, we had a lot of absences at the end of last term due to many students suffering from a variety of conditions such as colds, flus and gastroenteritis- vomiting/ diarrhoea. Below is a list of Infectious Conditions and possible health risks that children may be exposed to. There are recommended Exclusion periods for some conditions. If you are ever unsure, please ring the office and they will be able to help you.

Thank you to everyone, students and staff, for our amazing Dayboro State School displays at the Dayboro Show this year. There was an impressive collection of works on display and they highlighted how important our community is to us here at Dayboro.  Thank you to Mrs Taylor for her fabulous array of indigenous treats available from the tuckshop on the last day of last term to help us celebrate NAIDOC Week.

Thank you from Mrs Ryan

Thought for the day!
