Good afternoon, Parents/Carers,

  • Taking people's property

  • Hands on others

Education Week Open Day & National Science Week

It was great to see so many parents/carers and community at our Open Day last Friday to celebrate Education Week and National Science Week.  This year's theme for Education Week was "Ignite Your Potential". Congratulations to those students who received Education Week Awards, our NSW Premier's Spelling Bee award recipients and congratulations to our Athletics Champions who were presented with their medallions and shields.   

 

Stewart House PJ Day

We will be holding a PJ Day tomorrow, to raise money for Stewart House.  Students are to wear their PJ's but please ensure that closed in shoes for school are worn (no slippers or crocs).  We also request a gold coin donation on this day and all monies raised will be forwarded to Stewart House.

 

Book Week

Next week we will celebrate Book Week.  This years theme is "Book an Adventure" and is a celebration of 80 years of Children's Book Week.  We will be holding a Book Fair that will run all week and Book Parade on Friday, 22nd August at 2:00pm.  Details on the Book Fair and Parade are in our Important Information & Events tab in the newsletter.

 

Return and Earn for our students

We have set up a purple recycling bin at school for all of our cans, bottles and recyclables to be sent to the Return and Earn facilities to raise funds for our school.  If you have an item that displays the 10c and recycle logo these items can be put in this bin.  The money raised will be known as our "Fun Money" and will go towards excursions and items that will benefit our students and give them affordable opportunities.  Thank you to those who have already brought in recyclables.  If you are able to assist, please bring in your recyclables to our purple bin and we will arrange the recycling.

 

Kind regards

 

 

Kathy Nott
