Dear Parents and Caregivers

Last Friday our School Environment and Management Committee hosted a Tree Planting day. Classes gathered on the school oval to take part in planting the 122 trees donated by Cr Darren Grimwade and the Moreton Bay Regional Council.  Our students enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to the beautification of our school grounds, for now, and for our future generations. A big thank you is extended to our Schools Officer, George for preparing the many dozens of holes, to Mrs Smith for coordinating the day and to Cr Grimwade  for his ongoing commitment to our school.

School Opinion Survey

Envelopes containing details about the 2019 School Opinion Survey were sent home with the eldest in the family yesterday.  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.

Walkathon – This Friday 2 August

The P&C Walkathon will be held this 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.

Show Holiday

I wish to advise that Dayboro State School will be closed on Monday 12 August for the Brisbane Show holiday.

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.
