Dear Parents/Caregivers

Thanks to all the grandparents, friends and families

who came along to make Friday such a fantastic day.

Thanks to all the students who prepared the delicious

morning tea with the produce from our garden.

Thanks to Bu Annie for putting the day together.

Thanks to all the parents and staff, who helped put an

added shine on the day. The highlights were certainly

the school choir and band when they sang the

Grandparents song that was written by our own Pak

Chris. Thanks to Pak Chris and Bu Rebecca for your

support of the performing arts. It is great to see the

numbers in our school choir growing and the

confidence in the skills of the band at various

performances.

Thanks to Karen Fenley for supporting the Indonesian

program while Pak Mur and Bu Bibi have been on

leave.

Congratulations to Lyndsey Caldecott who has been

successful in being selected by an external expert

panel on the strength of her data set to enter the next

phase of the Mastery of Teaching Program. She will

be supported to gain Highly Accomplished teacher

accreditation within a twelve month timeframe. Go

Lyndsey!

Thanks, yaarri yaraang, terima kasih.

He’s my, my fun granddad.

the school and the community.

A LASH talk about SURFING at The Hub

that featured Neridah, Trent, Asher Pacey, Paul Evans, Ben Evans and

Justin Walsh.

Then Steve Perry will chronicle SHB’s history from 2000 until now, a

history that includes Aaron Schmidt, Jack Lynch, Casper Ellitson,

Mitch O’Grady, TK Kinnerson and more recently Coco Beeby, Nina

Lawson, Madeline Munro, Avalon and Sandon.

To finish the night we will show a movie made by the world renowned

Jack McCoy who is soon to move to Way Way. What a line-up!

When: Tuesday 3 September (First Tuesday of the month)

Meal: South African fare - served from 6 to 7pm. $29/head

Time of talk: 7 to 8.30 pm

Michael Blockey, LASH co-ordinator (65697577)

We fall into two broad groups on the subject of climate

change. Half the people are overwhelmed by the dire

predictions of its effects and can see no solutions. Their

response is to deny it is happening. The other half of us

want to do something to lessen the effects of climate

change but don’t really know what to do.

The documentary 2040 provides solutions. Damon

Gameau, the maker of That Sugar Film, travelled the

world searching for solutions that are being tried now,

solutions that will be widely used in 2040.

2040 is a truly inspirational film. It will be shown in

Scotts Head.

When: Friday 20 September

Where: LLL Centre at the Scotts Head Public School

Time: 7-8.30 pm showing time followed by discussion

and coffee/tea

Cost: Gold coin donation

Organiser: Michael Blockey

A film about handling Climate Change

Learned Leaders

Last Wednesday the senior Learned Leaders

Group visited the Headland and spotted

whales.

NRL Program

The NRL Program is running on a Monday

teaching the students the skills to compete
