Staff and students are invit- ed to dress in Pink for the day and donate a gold coin for the priv- ilege. The canteen will be selling Pink treats and recess and lunch and organ- ising a Pink Meal Deal for lunch. There will also be a number of Pink fundraisers at school such as Pink face painting for $2, the sale of Pink wrist- bands for $2, a raffle consisting of male and female McGrath Foundation Pink shirts and 2 Pink hats and lots more. Keep an eye out for Pink clothes to wear to school and start putting money aside for this worthy fundraiser – all money raised on the day will be donated directly to the McGrath Foun- dation. School Hats The front office will no longer be lend- ing out hats during the week as we have had a few issues with head lice recently. These hats will be put aside and lent out for PSSA sport only and will then be washed weekly. Brand new school hats are available from the front office and uniform shop for the very reasonable price of $11. Please remember, it is compulsory to wear a school hat to school each and every day. NAPLAN This testing will be taking place for all Year 3 and 5 students at school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Students who are absent will be given Friday to make up the missing Dubbo North Public School “Skill with Honour by being Responsible, Safe & Respectful lifelong learners” Weekly Newsletter Week 3 Term 2 2017 [email protected] test/s. It is vitally important that students sit these tests as this is what our school is compared with against the rest of the state and affects our Socio-economic status funding. Students will be complet- ing Writing, Language Conventions, Reading and Numeracy tests so please ensure students have a good night’s rest and enjoy a healthy breakfast before coming to school. PSSA Sport If was great to receive lots of positive comments about our students at PSSA sport last week, which shows our stu- dents are Responsible, Safe and Respect- ful both at school and when away repre- senting DNPS. Please ensure students are wearing the correct sports uniform to school on Fridays, as recently I have been loaning out socks, shorts and shirts which will not continue all term. Stu- dents also need to bring in $3.50 a week or $30 for the term to pay for the bus and if they don’t, they will still attend sport but will not be eligible to participate, as there are no Primary teachers left at school to supervise them. School Reports Teachers are busily preparing Semester 1 Report Cards which will go home to- wards the end of the term. Parent/teacher interviews will be conducted on Tuesday 27 th June from 4:00pm so make sure you leave the afternoon free to attend these important meetings to discuss the aca- demic, cultural, social and sporting pro- gress of your child throughout the first semester of 2017. Have a great week. Toby Morgan Principal Tel: 6882 4689 Fax: 6884 3442 Week 3 Term 2 “Skill with Honour” SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION Student $40.00 Family $80.00 (2 or more students)
