A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Duncan, Emily and Ruby Ward’s grandparents for kindly donating funds for a new BBQ. Jimmy and the Garden Club members are busy researching BBQ’s to find the best value for money. They are aiming to finalise the deal ready for next term. PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS –Apologises for the difficulties with the Survey Monkey. The problem has now been rectified and you can complete the survey by clicking on the link below and it will now be open until October 6th. The Survey Monkey has been creat-ed again this year for families to provide us with their feedback on the interviews. http:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YYWXVLT YEAR 1 /2 PARENT INTERVIEWS- Term 4 will hopefully bring good health to our year 1 /2 teachers, as this has been a term they will not want to repeat. It is terrific to see Sharon Shanley back with us this week and we will welcome back Liz Hopkins back for the start of term 4. Nicole Colee will remain on leave for the beginning of term 4 and her return date is yet to be finalised. Aimee for will continue to teach-er the 1/2 C class until Ms Colee returns. The Parent Teacher Inter-views for 1/2C,1 /2 H and 1/2 S will be scheduled of early term 4.

The next program will begin in the second week of term 4 and there are a few vacancies. If you know of people who may be inter-ested, please encourage them to contact the school asap. The par-ent information sessions on Literacy, Numeracy and Oral Language are presented by experts in these fields, from 10-11am in week 2, 3 and 5 of the program. Parents of incoming 2014 preps are invited to these sessions next term, so please spread the word and contact the office if you know of people who may be interested. LOST PROPERTY- Lost property will be on display in the stadium foyer tomorrow lunchtime. If lost property is not collected by the end of each term, the uniforms are given to students and the Garden Club sells items at their fund raising events. SCHOOL COUNCIL met last night and the main areas of discussion and work centred on a review of the end of the school year process-es and finances and budgets for 2014. Parents will be provided with comprehensive details of 2014 school organisation and parent contri-butions early in term 4. TERM THREE ENDS – Term three concludes tomorrow at 2.30pm and term four begins on Monday October 7th.

Buddy reading

For the last few days of term, Blue Prep

and 3/4C have been reading to each other

to celebrate how much reading we've

achieved. First Blue Prep came to 3/4C’s

room and then we went to their room and

then they came to our room again. We

listened to the preps read and they were

good at stopping at the full stops, reading

smoothly, putting voices in and tracking

with their finger. Maya, Lauren and

Amber.
