From the Principal Monday 30th March 2015 Term 1 Week 10 MORGIE NEWS Important Dates Thursday 2nd April Easter Hat Parade 11.30am Last day Term 1 Tuesday 21st April First day Term 2 Telephone: 08 8087 5155 Principal: Mr Chisholm Bloch Fax: 08 8087 3729 Email: [email protected]Webpage: www.morganst-p.schools.nsw.edu.au P&C AGM The New P&C Execuve are: Sam Maiden - President, Jeanee Rogers - Vice President, Karen Storey - Secretary and Deana Gollagher - Treasurer. Welcome to the Morgan Street Public School P&C Execuve Deana, and thanks to the returning officers for standing again in 2015. We also thank Jane Kuerschner for her work in her me as Treasurer. She will be missed at our meengs for both her great humour and excellent record keeping of our financial situaon. Our parent body provide important support to our students and staff and hold a number of funcons where many parents turn up to help even if meengs are not possible. We meet monthly on a Monday evening at 7pm in the staff common room. All parents should feel welcome as new ideas and thinking ensure our school remain a strong, safe place for our students. Have you got your Easter Hat? I am looking forward to my first Easter Hat Parade and Assembly on Thursday at 11.30am. Just a reminder that if parents decide to take their children home after the picnic lunch, please let their teachers know before you go. Parents have asked for electronic communications - our response has been to implement App and email based communication using SCHOOLSTREAM as an email list that we are adding to as we get information. Last week about 65% of parents received their NEWSLETTER in this manner. After the holidays we will do a collection of the parents/classes we may have missed, and so far we have had a lot of positive feedback. Our aim will be to cut back on the paper newsletters, as there are benefits in time taken up in the office and delivery by some students “pony express” can also be a problem. Absence Notes Don’t forget if your child is absent from school, you will need to write a note within seven days. It must explain why your child missed school and how many days your child was absent. Remember to include the date. If your child is going to be away for more than three days please let us know. Reading to children at home Children learn about the value and importance of reading as they watch their family read and write in everyday life. Here are a few simple things you can do at home to make reading fun. Listen to your child read every day, even if only for a short time. Discuss the meanings of stories and words. Talk about books together and make reading a shared, enjoyable activity. See that there is a range of reading material, both fiction and non-fiction, for your child at home. Try not to let television intrude on reading time – set aside some uninterrupted time to read with your child. PE LESSONS - SWIMMING A big thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help with the swimming lessons each week. We really appreciate your assistance. We hope more parents are available when we resume our lessons in Term 4. EASTER EGG RAFFLE The SRC will be selling tickets for the raffle and the guessing competition each morning this week before school in both the K-2 and 3-6 playground.
