STUDENT MEDICAL FORMS
During Terms 3 and 4 we will be updating our medical
records systems to ensure we have the most up-to-date
information on your child’s health.
If you have a child with a medical condition you will
receive a copy of the new forms in the mail and will
need to fill them out and return them to us as soon as
you can.
The good news is we have already started collecting
some of this information, which means less for you to
do.
The new forms will help us collect your child’s important
medical information and the introduction of new systems
will mean we'll be able to better manage the daily and
emergency health needs of your child.
We appreciate your support as we start collecting the information, and if you have any questions please call.
UNIFORM SHOP
Due to a shortage of available volunteers this week,
the Uniform Shop will ONLY fill orders left in the office.
The shop in the canteen will NOT open.
Please complete a form and leave it before school with
the office staff. Please also make sure you leave
correct money. Orders will be given to your child prior
to the bell on Thursday.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
(PS We are always looking for new volunteers. You
can let us know by leaving a note at the office.)

Many Thanks. Canteen Sub-Committee
TRIVIA NIGHT
What another fabulous event organised by a wonderful
committee. Our Trivia Night, held last Friday at
Paddington RSL, saw everyone having a great time as
they tackled some easy and some obscure questions.
The amount raised hasn’t yet been confirmed but we
will let you know in a future newsletter. The event was
designed to raise funds for the school, but as with the
Performance Night in 2011 and the Market Carnival in
2012, the more important result was the building of
bonds in our community. It was great to see a couple
of tables of our new Kinder parents as well as lots of
our long-standing families.
Many thanks to Ross Lamb for providing the venue. An
energetic organising group was led by Alessia Jolesz.
Other helpers included Karen Lichtner, Rebekah Lucas
and Andigone Aguilar.
There are still a few “Silent Auction” pieces available.
Please contact Karen on 0418 266 586 if interested.

ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS
Students will be presented with their certificates at this
Wednesday's assembly, 31st July.
EMAIL NEWSLETTERS
Many parents have opted to have the newsletter
emailed to them and I would like to encourage more
families to take advantage of this. You may opt to
receive a paper copy as well. The email newsletters
occasionally are a little “brighter” than the paper
copies. For example, today’s emailed newsletter has
photos of Tree Day and the Canberra excursion.
If you would like to receive newsletters by email, could
you please complete the slip below, and return it to
your child’s teacher.

OVERNIGHT CANBERRA EXCURSION
We met at school at 7am!!! Our first destination was the
Australian Institute of Sport. Here we saw the training
facilities and it was lots of fun doing the sporting simulators.
After this we went to Questacon!! In Questacon we did the
gravity drop and visited the earthquake room and the
lightning show! This was many peoples favourite destination.
After the epic tour of Questacon we had a tour of all the
embassies in Canberra. At 6 pm we went to our cabins and
prepared for dinner. When dinner was finished we went to
the Dinosaur museum and marvelled at the exhibits. At
around 10 pm we got back to our cabins and had supper and
showers and then tried to sleep. At around 5am we woke up
and had breakfast and prepared lunch for the day ahead.
We started the morning by visiting the Electoral Education
Centre. Here we learned about the importance of voting and
were able to look up our parents on the electoral roll. Then
we had a tour of both the Senate and the House of
Representatives in Parliament House. We even had a
pretend turn of passing a bill. Next we visited The War
Memorial and this was a favourite place for many students.
After seeing many medals and army vehicles from war, we
went on a hands on exhibit where we went into a helicopter
and saw what our feet would look like if they had trench foot.
DISGUSTING!
We then had to get on to the bus for the ride back to Sydney.
We drove for hours, but were lucky to stop at McDonalds on
the way home.
We would all like to give a big thank you to Miss Hoskins,
Miss Smart and Mr Prior for being our chaperones for the
trip.
(Year 5/6)
AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE FOR
NATIONAL CAPITAL EXCURSION
Last week, students from our school undertook an
educational tour of the national capital. While on this tour
they participated in a variety of educational programmes
which focused on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and
democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all
young Australians being able to visit their National Capital as
part of their civics and citizenship education. To assist
parents in meeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian
Government is contributing funding of $20 per eligible
student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate
(PACER) programme toward the travel expenses incurred.
This contribution will be paid directly to the school upon
completion of the excursion.
We would like to thank the Australian Government for their
support of this program.

LIBRARY NEWS FOR TERM 3
BOOK WEEK THEME - Read Across The UniversE
Once again we are getting ready for our busy time in the school library. Term 3 will be a wonderful time
for the students, staff and parents in our library.
WEEK 5 TERM 3
BOOKFAIR
The Ashton Scholastic Bookfair will be at our school from Monday, 12th August, 2013 until Friday, 16th August, 2013. The
students will be looking at the books on Monday and Tuesday during class library time and they will be writing their ‘Wish
List’ to bring home to you. The students are then able to purchase any books for themselves or to donate to the school (see
the teacher’s wish list pinned up at the entrance to the library). Please be assured that I do tell the children that just
because they write a wish list it does not mean they are automatically able to buy books. They need to discuss this with their
parents and if they don’t get to buy this time then they may be able to purchase from the Bookfair next year.
Grandparent purchasing – Wednesday, 14th August at 1:00pm
Please note this is for grandparents and their grandchildren only!!!
Other purchasing times – Wednesday, 14th
August 3:30-4:00pm
Thursday, 15th August 1:10pm-1:40pm
GRANDPARENT DAY
We would like to invite Pagewood Public School grandparents to participate in a ‘Reading Session’ in the classrooms from
12:30 – 1:00pm on Wednesday, 14th August, 2013. You will observe students engaged in a quality literature session with the
teachers. If you have grandchildren in different classrooms we will put them into 1 room so you can be with all of them
together for the reading session. Following this you are invited to stay for 1st half lunch from 1:00pm – 1:30pm with your
grandchildren (bring your own snack). You may also visit and purchase from the Bookfair in the library which will be open for
grandparents and their grandchildren during 1st half lunch. A note will go home shortly asking for an indication of who is
attending.
WEEK 6 TERM 3 BOOKWEEK
Book Week will run from Monday, 19th August, 2013-Sunday, 25th August, 2013.
During this week the students will be told which of the ‘Shortlisted’ books were chosen as the winners of the ‘Children’s
Book Council Awards’. Throughout Term 2 and Term 3 I have been reading a number of the nominated books to all of the
classes as part of their library lessons. The children have their own ideas on which books will be the winners!
TUESDAY
On Tuesday, 20th
August , 2013, a Musical Theatre Performance Group from Melbourne will be performing “Space Jump” in
our school hall at 9:20am. This show is related to a number of the books that are from the Children’s Book Council Shortlist.
The past years performances were a huge hit and the children talked about them for weeks. Of course we had to get them
back again! A permission note will go home shortly.
Thanking You
Mrs Kerves
(Librarian)
P.S If there are any parents able to help out at the Bookfair with sales please see me.
