BOOK FAIR

Dear Parents and Families,

Our school is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair during week 9 (12-16 September). The book Fair will be open for children and families to purchase books during the following times:

Before School - 8.00-8:30am daily

Break 1 - 10:30-11.00am daily

Break 2 - 1:10pm-1:30pm daily

After School - 2:50-3:20pm daily

We will also open on the night of the school concert from 5.00pm till 5:45pm (approx.).

You and your child will have the opportunity to explore a huge range of affordable books featuring characters and subject’s kids love and want to read about. From newly released books and bestsellers to award-winning titles and perennial favourites. This is also a great way for you to learn about and discuss your child's interests and every book sold benefits our school, adding resources to our library and classrooms. Scholastic Book Fairs help us show students the wonder of reading. After all, when kids choose their own books, they will be more excited to read, and they will naturally read more!

Your children will be browsing the selection of books next week and writing out their wish list for you to see.

STAY, PLAY, LEARN

Stay, Play, Learn is a program that involves parents and children 0 to 5 years old from our community getting together to share some learning experiences and build connections. Stay, Play, Learn will be happening on Wednesday 14 September. Meet in the hall after Worship. Worship commences at 8.30am.

SENIOR SCHOOL CONCERT

Our Senior Concert will be held on Thursday 15 September for Years 4, 5 and 6. Students performing in the concert should arrive at 5.30pm. The concert will commence at 6.00pm and will be held in the Amphitheatre. Families are encouraged to park in the Albrecht Oval car park and enter the school through the bike shed gate.

3 tickets per family were sent home earlier this week. Please return any tickets you will not need to Reception so they can be reallocated. If you require extra tickets please email living.waters@ntschools.net or phone Reception to be placed on our waitlist.

STUDENT LED CONFERENCES

Student led conferences will be taking place in Week 10 on Monday 19 September and Wednesday 21 September from 3:15pm each day. This is a great opportunity for parents and carers to see what their child has been working on at school. To book a time visit the link below.

WEET-BIX ACTIVE BANDS

It’s always great to see students running around and keeping active during breaks. Remember to earn Active Points and unlock extra features by scanning the bands every day for active play at home and community sport activities. Did you know that research shows only 19% of Aussie kids (5 – 17 years old) are getting the recommended 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise each day? The Weet-Bix Active Bands program is a great way to help our kids move more, and more often! If your child needs a replacement active band, please contact Reception or your child’s teacher. A free replacement active band will be sent home ready to activate. For more information check out https://weetbixactivebands.com.au/.

CANTEEN

The Canteen is now operating every day for Break 1 and 2. Please note due to staffing the Canteen will be closed Tuesday 6 September-Thursday 8 September (Week 8) and Tuesday 13 September-Thursday 15 September (Week 9).

To order download the School24 app and use School ID: 25137963. Please make sure to update your child's class in their profile before ordering. Orders will need to be placed by 8.00am on the day.

If your child is absent and an order has been made, please notify Reception by 9.00am. Orders can then be held over until the next day or credited to your account.
