Dear Families and Friends
World Teachers’ Day
This Friday we recognise and celebrate the important work our teachers do here at Dayboro State School. We are very fortunate to have a hard working, caring and supportive team of professionals who strive every day to provide a quality education for our students. Every day they are making a difference and we thank you teachers, for your dedication and the positive impact you deliver.
Last Wednesday our Instrumental Band students performed at the Peninsula Music Festival. Over 10 schools competed in our section and our Band received a Bronze Medal for their efforts. Thank you to the parents who drove students to this event and a huge thank you to Mrs Edwards for organising our participation in this event. Thank you also to our Band students who turn up to practice every Monday, practice their instruments at home regularly and who show exemplary behaviour at these events. You get a Gold Medal (from me) for participation!
Well Done everyone!
PREP OPEN MORNINGS
This term sees the start of our 2020 Prep Orientation visits and Prep Open mornings. See below for details. We encourage all our Prep parents and children for 2020 to take advantage of this valuable opportunity to visit our school and learn more about our Prep classrooms. Come to as many mornings as you wish.
Yr 5 Parents Needed!
Year 5 Parents- We need a small group of Yr 5 parents who would be willing to help with the Yr 6 Graduation evening.
Date: Wednesday 11th December -7-10pm.. You would be required for a couple of hours on the night to serve food and drinks to the Yr 6 students and their parents. We also need a small group of Yr 5 parents to help prepare the food for the night. The food will be paid for by P&C but they would like volunteers to assist in organising.
Please see Karen Ryan DP or Mia Gillies, Secretary of P&C, if interested. You can contact us via the office. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Now that the days are starting to get warmer please remember that it is an expectation that all children wear hats during play times and PE lessons.
The rule is “No Hat, no Play!”
Children that do not wear hats are expected to be in the CSA areas during break times.
Swimming got off to a great start last week, despite some light rain showers! It was great to see everyone remembering to wear their swimming caps.
Children will be swimming every Thursday and Friday for 5 weeks- a total of 10 lessons. The last day of swimming will be Friday 15th November. Please make sure monies and permission slips have been finalized. The swimming timetable is below for interested parents.
There have been some cases in the area recently of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with the Queensland Health Time Out Poster below for the exclusion periods for illnesses. If you have concerns, please ensure you seek advice from your Doctor.
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
Our Vision: “To inspire students to reach their full potential in a safe, caring and educationally challenging environment.”
