Newsletter Issue No. 34 - Wednesday 9th November 2016
On behalf of the P and F we would like to extend a
huge THANK YOU to the students, parents,
grandparents, carers, teachers and volunteers for
their contributions and assistance in making our
2016 School Fair a huge success. Even with
inclement weather, we had a large number of
visitors to the school that helped raise a
considerable amount of money. The wonderful
support of our community for our bi-annual school
fair has helped this event become one of the most
effective fundraising events for our school. We
would now like to invite everyone who has been
involved in the organisation of the fair to attend a
Fair “debrief” next Tuesday 15th November at
9:15am.

GROWING UP PROGRAM
Family Planning Tasmania will be visiting classes during
the week beginning Monday 28th November to provide
The Growing Up Program - a relationships, sexuality and
protective behaviours program.
Growing Up aims to provide your child with knowledge,
skills and attitudes to help them make choices for
positive emotional, physical and social health.
You are invited to attend a parent information session
to find out more about Growing Up so that you can feel
confident about discussing the program with your child.
The session will also include tips, strategies and
resources for talking about relationships and sexuality.
Date: Monday 28th November
Time: 8.25am to 8.55am
Location: The old Grade 1 classrooms (Please come
to the office if you’re unsure where to go)
For further information, please contact Louise Bird.
WMMF Update (Words Make Me Fly):
Last week I met with the WMMF Group and we
continued to work on their narrative story. We also
opened an exciting package from Karen that contained
a number of little trinkets. One of which was an emu
egg! Karen had also prepared a lesson for the
students with regards to editing and polishing their
work. The aim of this lesson was to emphasise the
importance of correcting your work as the purpose of
writing is for someone else to read it and they will
only be able to read and understand your work if the
spelling and punctuation are correct.

The School Association is a voluntary organisation that supports the school in many ways. These include
consultation with the Principal on plans for school improvement, supporting improvement of facilities (e.g. car parking, proposed school developments), and supporting the school with management issues
(e.g. safety, school boundaries).
The School Association works with the Principal, the school staff and parents to build the communication
between the school and parents as well as building the capacity of the school community as a whole. The
Principal reports to the School Association on matters that affect the school at each of the quarterly
meetings.
An active School Association can be a voice for the school as a whole and can add input into decisions
that affect the school. For example speaking to Local Councils about issues to do with the school, writing
to government departments about matters that affect the school.
The School Association is comprised of parents, teachers and the Principal. A community Representative
can also be involved. All parents can attend the meeting (though only those who have a specific position
can vote on a matter).
The School Association is committed to the students of the school and can only do this with parents
joining the committee and being involved.
The AGM will be held on Tuesday 22nd November 2016 at 6.30pm, in the school staff room, please
come along.
Would you like to be involved?
THEN PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW FORM AND SEND TO SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, C/O
MARGATE PRIMARY SCHOOL OR PLACE DIRECTLY INTO THE NOMINATION BOX WHICH IS
AT THE SCHOOLOFFICE.
