Dear Families and Friends
Welcome back everyone to Term 4. I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing break.
This term will be extremely busy with a lot of events that were postponed due to COVID being rescheduled for this term so please check the dates below carefully for events that your child will be involved in.
In Week 2 the Year 5 students will be going to camp at Currumundi. They leave on Monday 12th October and return on Wednesday 14th October.
A reminder that swimming for Prep to Year 2 (and 2/3L) starts in Week 3 on Thursday 22nd October. Children will swim twice a week on Thursdays and Fridays for 5 weeks in total. Please make sure payments are made before next week so that teachers can finalise timetabling arrangements. A note will go home from teachers this week about what to bring and times for swimming.
Book Week is also being celebrated in Week 3 this term. Our Dress Up day is Wednesday 21st October. The theme this year is “Curious Creatures, Wild Minds.”
Week 3 also sees the beginning of Prep interviews for students of 2021. These run all week so please if you haven’t secured an interview time please ring the office to book one in!
MONDAY 19th October also in Week 3 is our WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTO DAY.
In Week 5 of this term, Years 5 and 6 will be participating in our annual “Talk About It” unit. This program is part of the Life Education group of programs and covers important aspects of children’s social, emotional and physical health needs. Notes for this program will be sent home soon.
Week 6 of this term sees our Year 6 students heading off to camp.
Towards the end of the term we will be having our Junior and Senior Swimming Carnivals and our final year assemblies and Yr 6 Graduation but we will be sending home more information about these closer to the dates.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS ABOUT KEEPING KIDS SAFE AT SCHOOL.
All students are reminded to wait in the CSA before school between 8:15 am and 8:40 am. Children are not to wait outside classrooms or other areas around the school. When the bell goes at 8:40am students walk up to their classrooms. This is an important safety aspect and it is very important children are reminded of this expectation. Thank you parents for helping us keep your children safe!
Thank you to Chappy Andrew and our P&C for their wonderful efforts in organising our inaugural Colour run on the last day of last term. I think everyone agreed it was a fun and exciting way to end the term.
Also a big thank you to Sam Knight from Samantha Moniquie Photography for taking some amazing photos on the day. We will be publishing lots more of these soon.
Thank you from Mrs Ryan
