ACTING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
ISAC ENGLISH NEWS
On Monday 28th July 2014, 42 students from Patterson
Lakes Primary School participated in the English
International Competitions and Assessments for Schools
2014.
We are pleased to make special mention of Maisy N (4D)
who was awarded a High Distinction. Other students
received pleasing results with 2 Distinctions, 16 Credits, 2
Merits and 21 Participation Certifications.
Well done to all Patto students who participated.
FOOTY DAY GOLD COIN DONATION
GOLD COIN DONATION FOR “FOOTY DAY”
This year at our Footy Day Parade, we will be raising money
for the students sports shed. To do this, we are running a
gold coin competition, in place of our traditional Coin Line.
Your child is asked to wear their team colours in support of
their footy team, for a gold coin donation.
Here’s how it will work:
Students will bring their gold coin to the morning footy
parade. There will be a student representing each football
team. They will have a clearly labelled sign with a bucket for
the gold coins. Students will place their gold coin in their
team’s coin bucket. We will then count each bucket to find
out which team raised the most money.
Items chosen for the Sports Shed will be decided upon by
the Junior School Councillors and the House Captains. This year there is NO coin line,
only a gold coin donation.
GROUNDS WORKS
Last weekend a Community Work Team completed a number of jobs in our school ground. The major ones completed were: new soft fall (mulch) was spread in all three adventure playgrounds, our sandpits were topped up and some soil was placed in the boxes around the trees in the courtyard.
PREPARING TODAY’S STUDENTS FOR TOMORROW
This week’s topic in the department’s ‘School Update’ is about ‘Healthy Eating’ and some ideas of what to pack in your child’s lunchbox. Please see the flyer included in this newsletter.
