Dear Parents and Caregivers

Dayboro State School proudly supported the “Walk for Daniel” last Friday. Over 80+ students participated and supported our school’s commitment to providing a safe environment for all our students. Through our gold coin donation we raised a total of $220, all of which has been sent to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.

Remembrance Day

Our School Captains will represent our school on Monday November 11 at the Remembrance Day Service at Roderick Cruice Park. Our students will be involved in the ceremony, reading poetry, laying a wreath and managing the flag raising. All members of the community are invited to attend with the service commencing at 10.40am.

Prep Orientation Morning

Dayboro State School would like to welcome our 2020 Prep students to an Orientation Morning on Tuesday 12 November from 9.00am. This is a great opportunity for our newest students to become familiar with the Prep classroom and experience some of the activities they will undertake in the first year of school.

Free Dress Day- Friday 8 November

The Student Council will be holding a Free Dress Day on Friday 8 November with the theme of “Celebrating Summer”. Students are invited to wear their summer themed clothing (please - no singlet tops, togs or other non-sun safe clothing) for the cost of a gold coin. All proceeds will go towards end of year Student Council activities.

Planning for 2020

Planning for staffing and classes occurs during Term 4. To assist with accuracy in planning, could I please ask at this stage:-

1. Prep Enrolments – Could these be finalised as soon as possible by delivering the enrolment forms and birth certificates to the school office. An enrolment for Prep cannot be confirmed until all the required documentation has been submitted.

2. Leaving Dayboro State School (excluding Year 6) – If any of our families are aware that they are moving from the area or the school, could this please be communicated to our school office as soon as possible.

This information assists us greatly with estimating teacher and class numbers for the new year and your assistance would be much appreciated.

Class Formations for 2020

In term 4 we commence planning for our 2020 class groupings. The starting point of this preparation is an invitation to parents to provide important student or educational information for consideration. Requests for individual teachers cannot be considered as staffing will not be finalised for some time and some teachers may be moving to different year levels. Please note that while the issues that impact on the educational needs of the student are a high consideration, our ability to fulfil requests may be limited by staffing allocation, class size numbers and the small number of year level cohorts.

Please email any considerations to principal@dayboross.eq.edu.au  by Friday 1 November.

Student Leaders for 2020

Our new school leaders will be selected in Term 4. The process will take place throughout the term and will culminate with the announcement of the new leaders at the final school assembly on Thursday 12 December. School Leaders for 2020 will be inducted at a special ceremony by the State Member for Pine Rivers in February 2020. Interested students have received a nomination form which is due to be returned on Monday 4 November.  

The key dates for the selection process are:-

Monday 4 November – Nominations due for all Leadership Positions

Thursday 21 November – School Captain speeches and ballot

Monday 25 November – Sports Captains ballot

Thursday 28 November – School Captain interview process
