BUNGENDORE PUBLIC SCHOOL

Presents

THE BIANNUAL PRIMARY CONCERT

14 September 2017

6.30pm

“A Night at the Movies”

Congratulations to Mr Dean from 3D,

who has taken up a position as

Assistant Principal at Queanbeyan

South Public School until the end of

the year.

Welcome to Ms Ebony O’Connell who

is replacing Mr Dean as class teacher

of 3D.

Teachers will advise students on the

arrival time for classroom preparations

before the performance.

Students will return to their classrooms

after their performance for parents to

pick up at the conclusion of the

concert.

TOMORROW is Year 6’s last

mufti day fundraiser! Come to school dressed as something starting with

the first letter of your name!

“Stranger Danger”

Many children do not

understand the

concept of a

stranger.

Many believe that strangers are

mean, ugly people — so the nice

man asking for help to find his lost

puppy? Not a stranger.

Teaching children to avoid strangers

is not enough.

We must also teach them to

recognize and respond to potentially

dangerous situations.

For more information on how to talk

to children about “Stranger Danger”,

go to:

KIDSARTWORKS

FUNDRAISER CALENDARS

Children are now busy working on their

spectacular artworks; ready to be made

into Calendars.

Each calendar costs just $10.00!

They make wonderful Christmas gifts and

you can order as many copies as you

like!

Look for the order form in your child’s

bag or use the additional form you’ll find

in today’s newsletter.

Lots of prizes Decorated Pot Competition

Buy a pot from K/6O

Entry only $5.00

Competition closes 21.9.07

Support buying Maths resources for our school.

The challenge has been set with Matific’s Maths Competition!

Matific, an online primary maths resource is running a maths competition and we are excited to be taking part!

The Matific Games, which concludes on September 13, 2017, awards students as they progress through the educational activities with stars. The more our students play, the more stars are col-

lected and the higher the chance of winning the major prize of $20,000 cash!

The best part about this great competition is that screen time, really is learning time with Matific -- a recent academic study showed that Matific helped improve students maths test results by 34%

So let's all get into the competitive spirit and show other schools in our area what we are made of.

For more information visit www.matific.com.au

LOST PROPERTY

There are many items in the lost property box.

If you think your child is missing some clothing, please check the lost property box out-

side K/6O. Most of the items do not have names on them.

To ensure that lost property is returned to your child, please write their name on the tag.

Any items left in lost property at the end to the term will be donated to charity.

P&C UPDATE 31 August 2017

Father’s Day Stall

We would like to thank a few

volunteers who made sure our Father’s

day stall was a success for the kids,

P&C and of course the father’s who

are anxiously waiting for their gifts on

Sunday.

Special thanks to Trudy for buying and

sorting all of the gifts, no doubt you’ll

be impressed with the choice. Our

personal shop assistants did an

outstanding job of helping the kids with

their choices. Huge thanks to

Sharmain, Michelle, Jennifer, Natalie,

Cilla, Chloe and Stephanie.

Rockstar Disco

We are beyond excited and almost

ready for an incredibly fun family night

tomorrow night. Don’t forget your

tickets so you can exchange them for

your entry, food and drinks.

It is an unsupervised event so you

need to ensure you have an adult

supervising your child at all times. No

alcohol is allowed on school grounds.

We are still after some volunteers to

ensure the night is a success and fun

for all. If you can help out please
