Supporting our Sister School in the country –
Tullibigeal Central School
We will be sending special Kindness Kits for Kids to
each student at Tullibigeal Central School in a few
weeks time. This will support the children at this
school as they are also suffering the effects of the
drought. Mrs McInally will send out more information
shortly.
Book Forum
Last week I had the pleasure of going to James
Erskine Public School for the Annual STEPS Book
Forum. This was an excellent forum with 2 students
from each of the 7 STEPS schools discussing the 6
finalist books for the title “Picture Book of the Year”.
Our panellists were Layla and Leilani, with back up
support for the video trailer from Mason, Gemma and
Sean. Congratulations to you all, you had some
interesting and pertinent points to raise about these
books.
Our Fabulous Open Day and Book Parade
Thank you to everyone who came today and celebrated
Public Education with us! It was a great day – starting
with the beautiful Junior Choir led by Miss Barnett.
The children sang so well – I was very impressed. Our
next performance was the lovely Senior Choir – well
done to the children and Ms Soo Kee. We then had
Open Classrooms for parents, family and friends to
see what the children had been studying. Next was
recess - with amazing cakes and treats donated by
parents and the P&C. Thank you to all our wonderful
helpers at Morning Tea.
Then … THE BOOK PARADE! What a joyful time
this was – all our children looked terrific. The Book
Character costumes were wonderful – some indeed
were very intricate. Thank you to all those great

in a positive, dynamic environment
parents who enabled their children to participate –
whether it was helping to come up with a simple idea
or helping to make a great costume – it really was a
celebration of Books, Reading and Children.
Congratulations to Mrs Robinson, Mrs Lipitz, Mrs
Thurling and Mrs McInally for their organisation –
and many thanks to our great teachers who always
share their joy with our children by dressing up.
Thank you also to all those who purchased books at
the Book Fair – I thought there was a good selection
this year. The money we raise here will help us restock
our beautiful library.
Continuing our Success on the Sporting Field
Good luck to our boys Touch Knockout Team this
Friday – you all have our best wishes and support –

Important Dates to Remember Below is a list of upcoming School activities and the closing date for payment. Year 3 Camp - YMCA Camp Yarramundi - Final payment due 26th September Year 4 Camp – Chaldercot - Final payment due 20th September.
Some events throughout the year come with a payment plan attached to the note. This is a suggested plan. Except for the initial deposit (needed to secure your child’s place) you are able to make payments at anytime suitable to your circumstances. You just need to ensure that full payment has been made prior to the final payment date.
We also have the ability to put any additional money you wish to pay into an area of the system called Fees in Advance (FIA). It sits there until you tell us to apply it against an invoice. This may help with budgeting for events you know your child will be participating in throughout the year.
2019 Enrolments We are now taking Kindergarten enrolments for 2019. If you have a sibling or you know of any other child in our area that is starting Kindergarten next year, please collect an enrolment pack from the office over the coming weeks.
Making Payments When making payments to the office, we ask that you provide the following information on the envelope and remember that you can pay for multiple events in the one envelope. You can also pay for more than one student in the same envelope.
Alternatively, you can pay by POP – our Parent Online Payment system. It’s extremely easy to navigate and uses Westpac secure payment platform. You can also pay for more than one child and/or event, in a single transaction. Just ensure that each student and event is entered individually.
