Year 5 DanceSport Challenge Congratulations to our magnificent Year Five

DanceSport team that travelled out to the State

Sports Centre at Homebush last Wednesday

afternoon to compete in the annual DanceSport

Challenge Gala Event for 2016. All of our students

looked terrific in their outfits and ‘strutted their

stuff’ with style on the dance floor. Combining with

their partner they put on a spirited, professional

display dancing the Jive, Tango, Cha Cha and Salsa.

It was a a fantastic event for our students and

even though they had only participated in about 12

dancing lessons they looked so mature and at ease.

Congratulations to all the girls and boys, to Mrs

Edwards, Miss Bullock, our dance tutor Jess, and to

all families for supporting and encouraging your

children to participate in this wonderful

opportunity.

This was such a fantastic night and to see the

delight on the faces of students and the skill in

their movements was amazing. Well done, we are

very proud of you all.

Principal’s Report

PaTCH Program Concludes The Graduation Ceremony for our PaTCH program

participants was held last fortnight with all

graduating parents being presented with their

completion certificate. During the presentation

each participant was able to share their learning

journey and speak about the highlights of the

program.

Following the graduation we held a morning tea and

a chat with the classroom teachers who supported

the participants through the program.

The PaTCH program operated for 10 weeks with a

major component of the program being the

completion of some tasks in the classrooms.

Congratulations to all participants for completing

such a worthwhile program. We look forward to

your continued involvement in our students learning

journey.

Father's Day Breakfast Last fortnight we held a Father’s Day Breakfast here

at school outside of the hall. It was wonderful to see so

many dads, pops, uncles and special people joining us on

the morning to celebrate this occasion with a delicious

bacon and egg roll breakfast. We were also lucky to be

able to share this day with some staff from the Cancer

Council Foundation and some staff and volunteers from

the Macquarie Fields Men’s Shed.

Many thanks must go to our Community Liaison Officer

Carol who led the staff in hours and hours of

preparation, setting up, cooking and serving breakfast

to our community. The feedback I received has been

fantastic and we are glad that everyone enjoyed

spending the morning with their children with a lovely

breakfast.

Have a wonderful week!

Book Week – ‘Australia! Story Country’ We all enjoyed a wonderful morning on Tuesday this

week for Book Week. The theme this year was

‘Australia! Story Country’ and the students and staff

enjoyed dressing up for the book character parade.

It was wonderful to see so many parents,

grandparents and friends join us to visit the parade.

My special thanks to Miss Rossiter for organising the

parade.
