CALENDAR TERM 4 PRINCIPAL’S NEWS

WELLBEING WEEK: THEME - ENVIRONMENT This week, normal homework will be replaced by the Wellbeing Week

Homework grid. Please contact your child’s class teacher if you do not

receive a copy the homework grid. This is an opportunity for children and

their parents to undertake a range of wellbeing activities together at

home. I hope you all enjoy the week talking to each other, sharing ideas

and doing things together. Next Monday 10 December we will hold a mufti

day. Please see below for more information.

PREFECT SPEECH DAY – THURSDAY 6 DECEMBER AT 9.30AM This Thursday, our Prefects will present their speeches for leadership

positions for next year. At the conclusion of the speeches, the staff and K-

5 students will vote for three girls and three boy prefects. The Year 5 and

staff will then elect the School Captains from the prefects. The prefects

and school captains will be announced at our Presentation Day on 12

December.

SRC MUFTI DAY – NO MESS MONDAY ON MONDAY 10 DECEMBER

On Monday 10 December, the Student Representative Council will be

hosting a mufti day for all students.

The motivation for this day is to bring a lunch and recess that is waste free.

As you may have noticed, there are new rubbish bins in the school, aiming

to encourage recycling and raising awareness of the environment. The SRC

wish to support Year 5 in their endeavour to become more

environmentally aware. In order to wear mufti, please try to be waste

free for one day, some ways to do so are suggested below:

Notes and emails have been sent home to parents of children who will be presented with awards on Presentation Day. Please

contact Mr Tan if you would like more information about your child’s award at [email protected] .

Class awards will be presented for Academic Excellence, Academic Achievement, Academic Improvement, Consistent Effort and

Citizenship. Other awards will be presented for leadership, citizenship, excellence and improvement in the Performing Arts,

excellence and improvement in sport, and regional representation in debating, public speaking, spelling and sport.

RIVER OF FISH

Come and see our river of fish. These were made by the grandparents and children earlier this year.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT

Your Statement of Account is now overdue. Parents are encouraged to pay all overdue fees before the end of Term 4. To pay your

child’s ‘Statement of Account’, it is helpful to the school if Parents and Carers use the Parent Online Payment (POP) system. This

is to reduce the amount of cash being handled at school by students and staff. To pay by POP, please go to the Pagewood Public

School website at http://www.pagewood-p.schools.nsw.edu.au and select ‘Make a payment’. Parents and Carers are welcome to

pay for two or more children in one payment. If you wish to pay by cash, please send cash payments to your child’s teacher on

Tuesdays. If you have not received, or misplaced, your Statement of Account for Term 4 please email the school at pagewood-

[email protected] or call us on 9316 9313 for a copy.

LOLLIES, CANDY CANES and CHOCOLATE

Please do not allow children to bring or hand out candy canes, lollies or chocolate at school. These foods have sugar, food

colouring and can also lead to allergic reactions. This is a home and holiday activity for children to do with their parents. If you

would like more information on the department’s policy, please go to:

https://education.nsw.gov.au/policy-library/policies/nutrition-in-schools-policy

DRUM CIRCLE INCURSION - TUESDAY 18 DECEMBER The drum circle will be held at school in the last Tuesday of Term 4. It is a specialist group who will be working with two classes at a time using different drums and developing different drum rhythm and beats. Research has shown this is good for student learning and wellbeing. It should be good fun. While we would like all students to attend, it is not compulsory for students to attend. DEMOUNTABLE CLASSROOM – PROPOSAL In 2019, Pagewood PS will have a 13 class. This will require a demountable classroom to be placed in the school grounds over the

Summer holidays. The proposal is to place this classroom where the flag pole and commemorative plaques currently stand. It is

proposed that the flag pole and commemorative plaques will be relocated to the front entrance of the school (near the office).

Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any comments to make on this proposal. This proposal was

raised at the P&C meeting on Tuesday 6 November and parent input was noted. The Grevillea trees and garden beds will be

relocated if possible or re-planted.

CLASSES IN 2019

To assist the staff in the process of forming classes, please let me know of any significant social or legal issue regarding your child.

Even if you have previously told me or another staff member of an issue, please contact me by email (pagewood-

[email protected]) as I may not be aware of the issue. Please mark all correspondence of this nature with ‘Attention Mr

Tan – confidential’ in the subject line.
