We hope all parents will start Term 3 and do the right thing. School zone rules are enforced to keep your

I hope all of our families have a wonderful holiday. Keep safe and take care of each other.

STAGE 3 MATHEMATICS
Stage 3 will be starting maths groups in Semester two. There will be 4 year 5 groups and 4 year 6 groups.
These groups will be formed through analysis of assessment results from semester one as well as teacher
judgment. It will begin from the first day back to school in Term 3. The stage 3 teachers believe that this is
an important change for students to be organised for a different lesson with a different teacher as an
important step in preparation for High school.
FOOD SAFETY TRAINING for SCHOOL CANTEEN VOLUNTEERS
Port Macquarie Council’s Environmental Health Team is offering a free presentation on food safety for

food safety, Council’s role in regulation, types of contamination, heating and cooling requirements and
food poisoning. The presentation will also be a good opportunity for canteen staff and volunteers to ask
the Environmental Health Officer questions on inspections, food safety and hygiene. Training will be held
Wednesday 1st August, 9-10am and Monday 6th August, 3-4pm at the Port Macquarie Hastings Council
Committee Room, Burrawan Street. If you are interested in attending please let Mrs Hamel at canteen

PSSA BOYS HOCKEY Last Thursday the boys school hockey team, travelled to Grafton to play against Westlawn Public School. The boys played hard and defensively. They worked as a team and we are proud of their consistent effort. We had several shots at goal but unfortunately we were unable to score. Thank you to Danielle Blenkhorn for being our super coach and all the parents for driving, cheering and supporting our team. It is obvious the boys have improved since last year as this year’s result of 3-0 was a massive improvement. Well done, team! Can't wait for next year! Mr Kelly and Mrs Martin. PSSA GIRLS BASKETBALL
Our two hour trip didn't give Sawtell Public School the
home game advantage with the Hastings girls safely
progressing to round 5 of the PSSA Knockout. A slow start
saw the girls ahead 6-2 after the 1st quarter. Good
defence kept the opposition scoreless in the 2nd quarter
and we went to the half time break 10-2. In the 3rd quarter
our confidence grew and we led 16-4.
The girls created opportunities with good passing and cutting through the key. Their patience and excellent
defence resulted in a final score of 26-4.
Layla Horton, Tyra Turuva, Sarah King, Kyla Roach, Lauren Johnston, Jasmine Mison, Brodi Ardrey and
Elizabeth Hincksman will play Kororo Public School early next term.
A great display of sportsmanship and team work make it a pleasure to coach these girls. Good luck in Round
5!
