Message from the Principal

Welcome To Term 4 I trust everyone enjoyed a restful and relaxing break and took the opportunity to

catch up and spend time with family and friends. Term 4 is jam packed of activities and opportunities for students and to ensure participation students need to be in attendance at school and exhibiting the appropriate behaviours. We have the Stage 2 excursion this week, PSSA Sport starting this week and running until the end of Week 8, Swimming Scheme, PBL Reward afternoon, Grandparents Day and all the formalities that come with the winding up of the school year to look forward to. School Bags These bags are for sale through the front office and look fantastic. They are bottle green with bits of gold on the sides, and the school logo embroidered in the middle of the back. They are the size of a regular back pack, are good quality and are for sale for only $30.

Week 1 Term 4

“Skill with Honour”

This initiative is running again this year by Miss Clark and Miss Harcourt with just one slight change

to it. The initial cost will be $60 which is

basically half for the scheme and half for the bus transport to and from the pool. We are in the process currently of purchasing a school bus, and if this occurs before the scheme commences we will then transport students to and from the pool in it which will result in a refund of the majority of the transport money. This will be known in the coming weeks. Grandparents Day This wonderful event will be taking place next Thursday 24th October and is always a highlight of our community initiatives for the year. The day will consist of open classroom visits from 12:20 – 12:50pm which will consist of structured activities, a mini assembly consisting of student performances from 12:50 – 1:10pm and then a BBQ lunch with pre-ordered sausages from 1:10 – 1:55pm. Please see the extended invitation with more information contained in the newsletter. PSSA Sport Term 4 PSSA sport commences this Friday and runs every Friday until the end of Week 8. Students need to be in full school sports uniform, pay the bus fare every week and demonstrate appropriate behaviour in order to participate. PSSA Sport is a privilege and not a right and students not fulfilling the three criteria above will be deemed ineligible to attend. Have a great first week back. Toby Morgan Principal

On Thursday the 26th September we held our annual NAIDOC Celebrations. There was plenty of fun activities to do, along with some awards being handed out that were received at the AECG Awards Night and it was also great to have the community involved as well. Thank you to all who came, participated and helped out.
