ISSUE 5 TERM 3 : 2017

Dear Parents / Guardians FAMILY FUN DAY

Family Fun Day is approaching quickly. This will be a great community event where

everyone can enjoy the activities, meet your teachers and bring your whole family along to

enjoy the fun.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

It has been an incredibly busy term with lots of activities. A reminder that Term 4 starts

on Tuesday 10th October. On Monday the 9th October all staff will be learning how to

extend their classroom skills to improve student learning.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

The After School Program is continuing to run very well with plenty of fun activities for as little

as $5.00 a night, subject to Centrelink rebates.

Your children can enjoy afterschool activities and you can take your time picking them up.

NEW CARPET

Over the school holidays POD 3 will be getting new carpet. This will complete that room and

compliment the new flexible learning space.

ELECTRONIC SIGN

Our electronic communication sign is being reMOVED as it has not been very reliable. This is a

shame as it is one of our major communication tools.

PARENT OPINION SURVEY

Our parent opinion survey came back very positive where all parents indicated the school had a

positive climate for learning. It would be better if more parents completed the survey.

TERM 4 HATS

As part of our Sunsmart policy all students are to wear hats while they outside playing in the

sun. This policy is designed to protect your children against the harmful effects of the sun rays.

SCHOOL TIMES

As a reminder school starts at 9:00am and finishes at 3:30pm. The school yard is supervised

from 8:45am-9:00am and 3:30pm-3:45pm.

Please make sure your children arrive at school on time and are picked up on time.

TERM 3 ENDS.

Students will be dismissed at 2:30pm on Friday 22nd September.

Please be on time to pick up your children.

SUNSHINE

HARVESTER Our focus value this week has

continued to be LEARNING. We

know regular school attendance

is vital. But the habit:

I ARRIVE AT

SCHOOL ON TIME is also so important.

Early morning lessons are often

reading or writing, and your child

can miss critical connections and

skills if they consistently come

late.

Arriving at school on time can al-

so help your child feel better.

Many children feel embarrassed

walking in part way through a

lesson.

What is great to watch is the

amount of children who have

begun to arrive on time, who

previously would come in a bit

late. Keep it up everyone –

arriving on time is a great habit

for life.
