Congratulations Marni! Last Monday Marni trialled for the Hunter PSSA Girls Cricket side and was selected in the team as wicket keeper! She will now play in the PSSA State Championships which will be held in Maitland in November! We are very proud of you Marni, and wish you all the best. Chicken Roster It’s that time of the term again when we begin to ask for support looking after the chickens over the October holidays. Please complete the roster on the noticeboard if you are able to help. We are also looking for someone to look after the chickens over the Christmas holidays. We were hoping that someone might be able to take them home with them for the Christmas period. If you are willing to do this please see Mrs Mahony or Mrs Leary. Knitting Equipment Needed We would like to start a knitting group up in the school at lunchtimes. If anyone has any spare needles and wool they would like to donate that would be much appreciated.
Footy Colours Day Thank you to everyone who came on Friday to our Footy Colours day. I’d have to say that the egg and bacon rolls were the best in town! We raised $109.55 to help support kids with cancer. Thank you so much for your support.
Great Aussie Bush Camp 15‐17 October We are starting to get really excited about camp for Years 3‐6. We leave for camp the first Monday back next term and return on the Wednesday. If you have not returned permission/medical notes please do so ASAP. We have sent home a ‘What to bring’ note today. Please read this carefully and ensure that you have all items packed.

Swimming Term 4 Next term all students will be attending swimming on Fridays as part of our PDHPE program. Please return the permission note by the end of this term as well as notifying the office whether you will be using your Active Kids Voucher for the lessons so that invoicing can be organised. We would also appreciate the support of some male parents each week to help with monitoring the boys change rooms. If you are available to help, please contact the office. Mini Fete On Tuesday 25 September Year 6 are running a Mini Fete to raise money for the Year 6 gift at the end of the year. Parents and community members are invited to come and participate from 12pm until 1:15pm. Stalls will include Lucky Dip, Face Painting, Trash and Treasure and a Cake Stall. Prices range from 50 cents to $5.00. Touch Gala Day Last Thursday the Iona Public School touch football team went to a touch football gala day at Maitland Park. It was a great day to play and the team did very well. In the first game we played Thornton PS and lost 3‐2. The second game was against Raymond Terrace PS and we drew 1‐1. We then lost to Largs PS 3‐1 before ending the day with a 4‐3 victory over Maitland. Congratulations to all players for their teamwork and good sportsmanship.
