Dear Parents and Caregivers

During the school holidays our P&C achieved a major goal with the installation of air conditioning in the School Library. This has been a major fundraising project for our P&C over the past couple of years and it is wonderful that this project has now come to fruition and will provide a comfortable workspace for both students and staff. New projects and opportunities for grants are being identified and will include the installation of a new senior playground in the future.   Thank you to everyone for your continued support of P&C activities and the continued improvement of our school facilities. 

School Opinion Survey- Important Envelope coming home next Monday 

The eldest in the family will be bringing home an envelope next Monday containing details about the 2019 School Opinion Survey. This is an important survey for our school, and I would like to encourage as much participation as possible.

Each year, our Department of Education undertakes a survey of parents/caregivers to gauge their satisfaction with important aspects of schooling.  All families are invited to participate in the survey using the personalised username and password contained in your envelope.

I hope that everyone will consider completing the survey before the closing date of FRIDAY 23 AUGUST. Please do not hesitate to contact the school administration if any further information is required.

The P&C Walkathon will be held on Friday 2 August from 9.00am on our school oval. The theme for this year is “ What will I be when I grow up”. Students have been issued with their sponsorship forms and we are grateful for any support which can be given to our P&C with this annual fundraiser.

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.
