PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
CANTEEN
Thank you to all of the parents and grandparents that have volunteered to help in the Canteen this term. Without your assistance the canteen wouldn’t be able to operate weekly. With that in mind, for health and safety reasons, the students have been informed that they are not to assist in the canteen at any time. With sharp implements, hot surfaces and the need for cleaniness in all areas, it is stressed that behind the counters is a “child-free” zone. Thank you for your understanding and ensuring all children are safe.
SCHOOL PRODUCTION - NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
The performance will be held on Wednesday 6 November, 2019 at the Lake Macquarie Performing Arts Centre starting at 6pm. We are asking children to arrive at 5.40pm on the performance day. Please be advised that the front doors will be locked until this time. The children will have a practice at the venue also on this day, with travel being by bus. A permission note will be sent home today.
There will be a dress rehearsal held at the school on Thursday 31 October in the afternoon. Year 3 & 4 boys and girls are asked to provide Mrs Harris with their black tops and pants/tights, in a labelled bag, as soon as possible.
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, 23 October, for $10 each. Please be advised that it is allocated seating and you may wish to choose where you are sitting. Payment can be made in cash at the front office or via the online POP payment method.
Children will require the following items of clothing. (Please be advised that the school will provide the remainder of the costumes):
Kindergarten Boys: Plain black short sleeve top, black school shorts

YEAR 3/4FARM EXCURSION

Tuesday 29 October
ORIENTATION
Mrs Brownsmith and our Year 4 students where very excited last Wednesday to welcome our new Kindergarten students for 2020. As expected, the students were receptive to “big school” and had a very successful 1st Orientation. We are looking forward to seeing them again on Wednesday 30 October at 9.30-11.30am.
P&C
Our next P&C Meeting will be held on Monday 28 October at 6pm in the school library. An agenda for the meeting will be advertised via Skoolbag and Facebook. If you are interested, or wish to contribute ideas to any of the items on the agenda, we would encourage you to come along.
YEAR 3/4 FARM EXCURSION
A reminder that students are to be at school by 7am next Tuesday morning, 29 October. Please ensure that they have a packed recess and lunch and plenty of water for the day.
MOSQUITO / INSECT SEASON
Students are advised to liberally apply insect repellent before school due to the high number of mosquitos, sandflies and other insects that are around at the moment. Please note that aerosol sprays are not allowed at school, so if your child wishes to bring the repellent to school, it will have to be the roll-on variety.
BOAT SAFETY TALK
Students K-6 were thoroughly engaged with the boat safety talk held last week by members of the Maritime Service.
YEAR 6 MINI FETE - JAR STALL
The Year 6 Mini Fete will be held on Wednesday 20 November. Each Year 5 and Year 6 student is required to send in two filled jars for the popular ‘Jar Stall’ and donations of one filled jar from all other families would also be appreciated.
