Dear Parents Week 8 Term 2 Tuesday, June 18 2019

Urgent Kinder enrolments for 2020 are now open. Our school is currently planning for the organisation of staff and Kindergarten classes for 2020. We would very much appreciate receiving enrolment applications for Kinder 2020 this term. This will allow us to continue to provide the best possible transition to school for preschool children from now into the beginning of 2020.

Recently a consent form was distributed to parents of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children to offer free Flu vaccinations at the school. On Friday morning of the 28th June a nurse from the Richmond Valley Clinic and a GP will be visiting the school to vaccinate those children whose families have returned consent forms. If you haven’t returned your child’s consent form please return it this week if you would like them to receive a free vaccination for the flu. An offer has been extended to any staff members who would like to receive a vaccination on Friday, June 28. Please let the front office know if you wish to do so.

On Tuesday, June 4, forty eight students travelled to the Gold Coast to perform in the Far North Coast Dance Festival. Over one thousand students performed over the three day spectacular. Casino Public School performed with style, flair and precision and absolutely shone! Their hard work and dedication throughout numerous lunchtime practises definitely paid off! Well done to all Stage 2 and Stage 3 students involved. We are very proud of you! Mrs Chapman and Mrs Smith

Casino Public School continues to shine in sporting endeavours throughout 2019. Taykeel Roberts, Tristan Klingler and Jake Peglar will be heading to Nana Glen to compete in Northern Rivers Regional PSSA Cross Country. We wish them all the best. Last week three students; George Richards, Corey Trustum and Dean Sneasby participated in the Lismore PSSA Zone Rugby Union trials. All boys conducted themselves with pride and courage. Congratulations to Corey and Dean who were selected in the Northern Rivers team and will attend Regional selections later in the term. In the next two weeks, Grant Brown and Tye Hogan will be competing in the North Coast Rugby League Team at State selections held in Soldiers Point (near Newcastle) and St Marys (near Wollongong). Best of luck boys, we are very proud of you! Sarah Smith

If you are unable to keep your parent-teacher meeting please contact the school to let your child’s teacher know.
