Fathers Day Stall - Please make payment or decline via Compass as soon as possible.
This year the stall will be held on Thursday the 31st of August. Please answer the additional Question section so we will know how many children will want to purchase additional gifts if they are available and also decline the event if you do not wish your child to purchase a gift.
Quirindi Show Dance Performance!
September 9th marks the date for the annual Quirindi Show. As a school we are excited to enter our students in the Visual Arts section and for the first time, the dance section. Students will perform 2 separate dances, one for Kinder to Year 2 students “The Git Up” and one for Year 3 to 6 students “Farmers Rock!” Students have been practicing hard in preparation and are very excited to show off their dance skills.
More information about time and costume requirements will be included in a note on our Parent Compass Portal.
Attendance Notes are a legal requirement.
Compass is an easy way to be able to explain your child's absence at any time of the day or night within 7 days of the absence.
At present we have 33 unexplained absences in our system. This number is not acceptable and once again paper notes were sent home last week to enable families to explain these absences even after the 7 day reporting period. 2 of these notes were returned on Monday and we appreciate those but many are still outstanding.
Sport and Rec Excursion
As per Compass Event: Students in Years 3-6 will be attending the Sport and Recreation Centre Camp from Wednesday the 22nd of November to Friday the 24th of November. Thanks to the generosity of our local 'Farming for Kids' donation, along with our amazing PT&F donation, we are pleased to advise that the cost of this excursion will be $100 per child. |
Working With Children Checks
If you are involved in volunteering here at school in any capacity you need to have a current WWCC. These are available through Service NSW and are free for the volunteers check. We are sending out sms messages to our current parents whose WWCC is expired or due to expire soon. If you have not sent through your details to the office we would very much appreciate it if you could make it a priority.
