Dear Parents and Caregivers

At last the good weather has arrived and it was just perfect for our Athletic Sports last week. All the children did really well in their events and we were very proud of their efforts. Thank you to those parents and caregivers who joined us to support the children too. We hope you were impressed by their achievements.

On Friday, the disco was thoroughly enjoyed by the students too. Thank you for your support with this annual Home and School Fundraising event.

Swimming
This week the pool is open and all classes will be going swimming. The children in rooms 1, 2 and 5 will go to the pool on Mondays and Wednesdays while the children in rooms 3, 4 6 and 16 will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also have pool time on some Fridays. Each child needs to bring their swimsuit and a towel (named) in a plastic supermarket bag or swimming bag to school on the morning of their swimming day. We will be focusing on being safe in and around water.

Milo Cricket

On Thursday and Friday of this week we will be visited by some cricketers. They will be running some small ball and batting sessions with all the children.

'Starting School at Five' Information Evening

Parents and caregivers of preschoolers are very welcome to come along to our staffroom next Wednesday November 24th at 7 p.m. to discuss the transition from pre school to school.

Carnival - Candy floss

I am looking for a few extra people to be on the candyfloss rosters - either Saturday morning or on Sunday. If you can spare an hour or so then please do not hesitate to contact me. I also need two large chillybins on the carnival weekend. If you can help with this please let me know.

Full School Assembly

Parents and caregivers are cordially invited to this week's assembly in the hall at 1.30 p.m. on Friday November 19th.

Photos

Next Wednesday the photographer will be here at 9am to take New Entrant photos for rooms 1 and 16 only.

Room 2 Conferences

As Mrs Cody has left, Ms Capper will be holding parent/teacher conferences on Tuesday November 30th and Wednesday December 1st between 3 and 6 p.m. If you would like an appointment please contact our school office on 562 8409.

Christmas Concert/Party

The children have begun learning some songs to perform at our annual Christmas concert and end of year party. The concert will be held in the hall from 1.30 p.m. on Thursday December 9th.

Stationery 2011

Please return all stationery orders for 2011 to school before Friday November 26th. Buying the pack ensures your child starts the year the same as everyone else and has all the stationery items that they require for the entire school year. As we expect the children to produce work of high quality we source high quality stationery items for these packs.

If you are moving out of the area or your child will not be returning to our school next year could you please let me know as soon as possible?

Have a great week.

Kind regards,

Maureen Buckley

Deputy Principal
