The Japanese Word of the Fortnight

できました　(pronounced ‘dekimashita’) which means ‘done or finished’ is the Japanese Word for the last week of Term 3 and Week 1 of Term 4.

You can use ‘できました’ (‘dekimashita’) instead of ‘done / finished’ when you have completed a task or done something you are asked to do in the classroom and out in the yard.

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.

SUN SMART - HAT REMINDER

NO HAT NO PLAY

From the 1st of September to the 30th April, all students must wear a sun protective hat that shades the face, neck and ears for all outdoor activities.

Students are required to wear a school hat that protects the face, neck and ears when outdoors, such as a broad-brimmed, legionnaire or bucket hat.

Students who are not wearing appropriate protective clothing or a hat will be asked to play in the shade or in a suitable area protected from the sun. Students that do not have their Valkstone hat will need to play around the decking of the outside OHSC. Thank you to everyone for reinforcing our SunSmart policy and rule of where students sit if they are not wearing hats.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

In keeping with Department of Education guidelines, we are no longer able to provide plastic forks or spoons to children who need them for their lunch.

Please ensure that your child brings a bamboo fork or spoon from home should they require one to eat their lunch.

AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

These can be ordered on the Valkstone School Uniform Order form.
