Week 2 ●Term 4 ●2018 Hello Vincent Community! Principal’s report Hello everyone! This week is Be respected week. This is about being the good example for friends, class mates and all students in the school: Students use the High Five to solve their problems. They are kind and caring. They have interesting conversations and keep their hands and feet to themselves. They can answer the 5 Questions for Students during lessons. PUPIL FREE DAY: Monday 22 October (next week). No students attend school on Monday. Ready-for-Prep-2019: Friday mornings program starts TOMORROW, 9:00 – 11:00am, in the Prep Block, room P2 (next to Prep classroom). Parents must come with their children. Enrol for Prep 2019: We have vacancies in our Prep class for next year Spread the word! Farewell Mr Brenton Moore: Our groundsman, Mr Moore, has secured a permanent position as groundsman of Kelso State School. He will stay on for a few weeks to assist the temporary groundsman before his last day in a few weeks. Attendance: Last week there were no classes who achieved satisfactory attendance, so there is no picture this week of the winning class with Polly Parrot, the Attendance Trophy. The goal is 90% attendance (half-a- day off in one week) or better. Running Club: Mrs Beitzel’s running club is going very well. Every Thurdsay, students are invited to jog laps of the oval, training for our carnivals at the start of next year. Check out the tally poster on the school noticeboard under C Block. Year 6 Heatley Secondary College enrolment assistance: Mrs Adams-Thompson, Deputy Principal at Heatley Secondary College, attended on Tuesday to assist parents to enrol their children at Heatley for 2019. High Five fridge magnets: Are these on your fridge yet? They were handed out last week with the newsletter. Use them to talk about how your kids can solve their own problems using Australia’s anti-bullying strategies. Why not display the newsletter on the fridge for our important dates! Art Club: Our Woolworths Shopping Bag Competition entries have been sent off. Thanks for all your efforts Mrs Guy!
