Boolaroo Bulletin Term 4 Week 3 26 October 2016

BOOLAROO PUBLIC SCHOOLBOOLAROO PUBLIC SCHOOLBOOLAROO PUBLIC SCHOOL

So far this term has gotten off to a very busy

start. Our first assembly was a wonderful

event and it was lovely to see so many

parents and carers attending.

We welcomed our new Kinders for 2017 today at their first orientation

session. Next week will be the Parent Information session and will start at

9am.

Scholastic Bookclub is due back by this Friday should

you have an order to place. An issue comes out each

month and is distributed to each student. BookClub is a

great way to help the school get many reward points so

that we may increase and improve the books in our

Library and classrooms. Every order placed by parents

directly benefits the school and our students.

Commonwealth student banking still operates every

Wednesday. When students bring in their deposit not only do

they receive the benefits of learning the habit of saving they

also receive a reward token for each deposit which allows them

to receive a product of their choice after 10 deposits.

Permission notes have come out today for the Ice Skating and Movie Day

excursions at the end of the year. As we are about to enter a very busy period

in the office (due to our new system) I would appreciate if all parents / carers

could fix these two excursions up by the 18th November.

Thankyou J. Broome

Book Pack 2017 - A new initiative

Book packs for all students will be available to be collected the last week of

this Term. Each year group will have their own itemised pack according to

the Teacher’s requirements depending on their class and stage require-

ments. This will enable all students to cover their books and organise them-

selves over the holidays in preparation for the start of the new year. Book

packs will be priced accordingly to each individualised year and will need to

be paid for on collection. We see this as a more efficient way of distributing

your child’s requirements and it also enables your child to personalise their

books and take ownership and responsibility for them. The final price for

each year will to be advised in the near future.

The symbolic meaning of

the flag colours (as stated

by Harold Thomas) is:

Black – represents the

Aboriginal people of Aus-

tralia.

Yellow circle – represents

the Sun, the giver of life

and protector.

Red – represents the red

earth, the red ochre used

in ceremonies and Abo-

riginal peoples' spiritual

relation to the land.
