PRINCIPAL’S

NEWS Our ‘Wild Weather – Unit Presentation’

yesterday was a huge success and thank

you to everyone, parents, grandparents

and community members, who were

guests of the students

for their End of Term

Celebration. We hope you enjoyed

your visit to our school as the children

had worked hard to present full

classrooms of their hard work to show

you. We had some fantastic demonstrations to share!

On Wednesday, we travelled to Howard State School

for the musical performance of ‘The Jungle Book’. Mrs

Horner had worked so hard

with the Howard students to

make this performance a success.

Thank you to all parents for

transporting our students and

sharing this great experience

with them.

These performances of Disney Jungle Book Kids, (Primary School)

are given by permission of Hal Leonard Australia Pty. Ltd. exclusive

agent for Music Theatre International of New York, NY.

I was away on Tuesday this week, due to

Wide Bay Cricket duties in Bundaberg. My

thanks, as always, to Mrs Corfield who taught

in my absence.

Enjoy the two weeks break, whether at home or away. If travelling, we wish you a safe journey. See you all again on Tuesday 3rd October 2017!

A reminder to all students, families and

community members that our school

grounds will be OUT OF BOUNDS, as

normal, over the two week holiday

break. Safety for all is of the highest

priority.

Swimming Starts – Term 4

A reminder to all parents that our school swims each

Monday next term, beginning in week

two on Monday 9th October. Students

will need their togs, towel, and goggles

if required. I have also suggested a

swimming cap for longer hair. The

school will supply sunscreen.

Parent volunteers would be a big help again this term

for Prep, Years 1 and 2. Please let me know if you are

available or just show up at the pool by 11:30am on

Monday!

Pencil Case Check!

Please check with your child/ren over the

holidays as to whether their pencil cases need

replenishing with lead pencils, rubbers, rulers,

sharpeners and colours to start next Term.

Glue seems to need replenishing for all students

please! These items have become very scarce

lately and the school will not provide

stationery items!

Prep Enrolments 2018

Enrolments are now being accepted for Prep

students for 2018 wishing to attend Dallarnil

State School. Enrolment packages are available

from the office on request.

Home Reading Draw

This week’s home reading winners are…

Lachlan Drescher-2)

&

Courtney Spry (3-6)

Well done, Lachlan & Courtney!

It is certainly great to encourage nightly reading and

wonderful to develop the habit. Home Reading is part of

Homework Expectations for all children.

“Many Hands Make

Light Work!” Dallarnil Sports BBQ Stall

Thank you to everyone for working at our BBQ stall

to raise funds and to all families who supported the

school and P&C. It was a disappointing day again

crowd wise, but our hard work selling burgers paid

off! Again, our super display of home

cooking was a great addition to our tea and

coffee, so not all was lost! Thank you

again.

September Wedding Catering

The next major fundraising event the P&C have been

asked to cater for is the ‘Wykes Wedding’ tomorrow!

Helpers will be needed for after lunch preparation at

the school tuckshop, cooking, afternoon and evening

serving and event waiting, clean up and/or monetary

fundraising efforts always go towards the

excellent education and wonderful

learning experiences provided to our

students.

If you want your child to be successful

at school then YES, attendance does

matter!

Our Vegie Gardens are amazing at the

moment, with Zucchinis and Silver beet

ready to harvest. If anyone is interested, a

gold coin donation would allow you

goes back into the gardens!
