HONOUR CARDS

Congratulations to Sam who represented the South Coast region at the

State Athletics Championships last week. Sam finished 17th in the state for

800m and we could not be prouder of him! What a remarkable

achievement for someone who plays a lot of different sports, in a field of

children who, in many cases, train daily with professional athletics coaches.

Go Sam!

Notes were given to all Year 5 students on Friday about applying for a

position in a selective school in Year 7 in 2019. Please see the office if your

Year 5 child did not bring one home. I will run a brief information answer

session at 4.30pm on Thursday, 2 November in Mr Constable’s classroom to

answer any questions you may have– all welcome. More information is

available at https://education.nsw.gov.au/shs-oc

It has been great to see our student leaders taking initiative this week

across our school. Our Year 5&6 students Kaylee, Tyson, Danika, Sierra and

Heidi have been busy selling bandannas for CanTeen and have been very

supportive and helpful, especially with our younger students. Finn and Tyge

have taken their responsibility as sports monitors seriously and have been

consulting with students and staff on managing dedicated sports areas in

the bottom playground to make things fairer for everyone. Thank you to our

leaders for carrying out these duties with respectful and positive attitudes.

We are very proud of the way you are leading by example and working

hard to make our great school even better.

A reminder that if your child arrives late to school in the morning, they need

to be accompanied to the office and signed in by a parent or carer. Being

late is considered an absence just like being away for the whole day and

these absences must be explained.
