Dear Families,

Kindy Visits
SAPSASA Hockey, Football, Soccer , Netball, Cross Country and Rugby.

Reconciliation Week
NAPLAN Testing
Swimming R,1,2,3’s
Carly Ryan Presentation
African Drumming
Interviews & Reports

Congratulations

On behalf of the school community, I would like to congratulate Holly T & Charli N on successfully being selected to represent our State in the upcoming National School Softball Championships in November. This is a great achievement and we wish them every success.

Reports/Interviews

Over the past 2 weeks, there have been over 500 interviews take place across the school!! This is an excellent result and an indication of the importance you place on your child’s/ren’s education. I would like to thank each and every one of you and trust that it has been a beneficial and worthwhile exercise.

A special thank you to all the staff who have worked hard and long to ensure that reports were completed on time and interviews were well organised.

Looking for Branches / Twigs

A group of students at our school are looking to set up an area in the school where we can provide sticks, string, drop sheets etc so that they and other children can construct cubbies.

We think that this is a great idea. As such, we are looking for any families that could provide sticks/twigs, no longer than approximately 1500mm as well as any strings and old tarpaulins etc.

If you can help out, could you please email me directly with a list of any items you can supply.

My email is mike.tate871@schools.sa.edu.au

Frog Pond Help

Next term, a group of Year 6/7’s will be constructing a frog pond/bog next to the garden area outside Rooms 5 & 5a.

In order to do this, we need a large bath, an old but strong security mesh door and a small fibreglass pond.

If you can help out with any of these, could you please contact me directly either by school phone or via email mike.tate871@schools.sa.edu.au.

Thank You
