Dear Parents;We are just about ready to open the gates on the biggest annual community and fundraising event at St. Dominic’s. Thanks to the generosity of so many of you over past weeks, and your involvement this coming Saturday and Sunday, we are in an excellent position for a really good family day. By now you have received from our school secretary your acknowledgement of the time and stall which will have your support. We are very grateful for your support.Please bear with these final reminders. Stall convenors can only rest easy if they know that you will be at their side!

Calling all MASTER CHEFS! Does your Kitchen Rule?Please let us know by tomorrow, via the reply slip here, what baked goods we may expect delivery of (and when).

In order to ensure dietary needs can be catered to, we ask that all items have an ingredient label attached (see back page).

Thanking you in advance...

Baked Goods Donations I am intend to supply ....................... for the Cake Stall.Name ............................................................. Student’s Name/s: ..............................Class(es) ........................... I will make delivery of my baked goods:-

Front Office FRIDAY Hall (cake stall) SUNDAY AM

• The Cake Stall – CAKES would be gratefully received in the Hall on Fete day or left at school on Friday. Please note our request on this front page for baked goods from yourself or a member of your extended family. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

• Afternoon Tea Stall: If you are a parent in Years 11 or 12 then cake/scones etc. are still “the go,” but your product goes to the success of the Afternoon Tea Stall. Your kind donations can be left in the 9B classroom.

• FETE Raffle: The success of the FETE Raffle with its excellent cash prizes is key to the overall financial result. Please return all books by Friday.

• Live Auction: This year’s Live Auction will be complimented by a bumper Silent Auction. Doors open at 11am. The Silent Auction catalogue will be published on our Facebook event page tomorrow, with hard copies going home via your eldest daughter in past days and again today. It will also be available at the door on Fete day.

• Entertainment: Please note that this year’s Fete has a wonderful line up of Bands, Dance, and Strings at several locations during the day. (See back page)

• Late Start Monday: I’m sure that your daughters will remind you that there is a late start to school on next Monday morning. Classes begin at 10 minutes to 11 a.m. Any students who are here at normal time because they were not at the Fete will be supervised in the Library. No student has permission to be in the city before school in our uniform.

Good Wishes to our Year 12s as they complete their formal classes on Friday in preparation for exams and the finalisation of assessment tasks. We will pray with them and for them at their final Year level Mass on Friday morning.

Traffic and Parking in North Adelaide: The Adelaide City Council is developing a long term strategy for managing traffic and car parking in North Adelaide. It would be very good if parents put their views forward in order to maintain a manageable degree of parking and perhaps some adjustments in our favour. Please go online and register in order for your views to be heard: http://stdo.ms/2eDWoQY or collect a hard copy from either the Primary Office or Main Front Office. The deadline is this Tuesday, 1 November.

St. Dominic is off to our Jubilee Fete!!!

St Dominic’s Priory College

“If ‘Plan A’ didn’t work the alphabet has another 25 letters. Keep calm and

think of other solutions.”Fete We are very excited in the Primary School about the upcoming Fete. The weather will hopefully be promising and we are busily setting up our areas for the various stall holders. We look forward to seeing you there. The Classic Treasures Stall are grateful for the donations. They would still like some more toys so it is not too late for a very quick clean out of the toy cupboard. Place them in the basket outside my office. Please remember that it is a late start on Monday morning.

Move up DayWe all enjoy ‘Move Up Day’. This year our Reception to Year 6s classes will move up on the 11th of November. Students will move to their 2017 class after the 8:30 bell until recess. They will quickly unpack and move to their next year level and will need to be ready to start the day at 8:50am.

Parent EngagementSeveral parents were unable to come to the ‘Art in the Primary School’ meeting on Friday morning, due to work commitments. If you want to help with some artwork for outside areas, give me a call or pop into the office and we would love to add you to the list. The weather is warming up and we are keen to get started.

Traffic Management We are currently responding to an Adelaide City Council Traffic Survey and will express our concern regarding the practicalities of parking in Barnard Street and the need for a longer ‘Kiss and Drop’ area on Barnard Street to help for a safe and smooth student exit.

Spring Poetry Competition On Saturday the 29th of October, 5 of our primary school students, Molly Copeland, Willow Rann, Emma Smith, Morgan Smith, Eliza Donnellan and Magdalene Dinos are finalists in the Spring Poetry Competition and will attend the launch of the Poetry Festival.

Important EventsLoud Shirt Day is Thursday the 3rd November. You should have received a letter outlining the day. The Reception and Year 3 classes will decorate a scarecrow for the garden and all classes will be involved in a range of activities that help support an understanding of hearing impairment.

Twilight Assembly is Week 6, Tuesday 22nd November - note to follow

from Ms. Cate O’Leary, Primary School CoordinatorPrimary News

What’s happening in Year 3…Today we visited Helping Hand Residential Aged Care Facility for the second time. Due to the excursion being on the “worst storm in 50 years” day last term, we had to postpone our visit to this term. Today we shared our work about the way life has changed over the years or stayed the same. After our term 3 interviews, we used the information they had given us to create a brochure based on them and also on the information they gave us about Change and Continuity. We will also visit on two more occasions this term to play games with our residents and to also do an art and craft activity with them. We’ve just finished our unit about Pirates and enjoyed Pirate Day at the end of last term, when we all took on a pirate name and had fun in our ‘classroom ship’ for the day.

I liked making the ship in the bottle and eating the cupcakes at recess. – Ella Brave Beardless BuccaneerI loved the fish and chips and for the whole day we had no work! – IsabellaI liked dressing up. – AlyssaI loved the treasure hunt and the food and it was fun the whole day. – Annabel I loved Pirate Day so much I couldn’t stop talking about it. – Lyana

Did you know that...• Pirates wore earrings because they thought it

would improve their eyesight• Some women pirates were extremely powerful• A pirate is a robber of the sea• Captain Blackbeard’s real name was Edward

Teach (he was the most feared pirate of all)• There are modern day pirates• Buccaneers used a special kind of sword called

a cutlass.• The Year Threes earn pirate coins (called

doubloons) for good work and good behaviour and can trade these in for prizes!

National Youth Science Forum Orientation DayThe National Youth Science Forum is a two week stay in Canberra to experience the cutting edge of research and development in our chosen STEM area. On the 18th of September, following our selection, we attended the NYSF Orientation Day. We had the pleasure of listening to various physicists and attendees of previous Forums so we could be inspired and ask as many questions as possible. 32 lucky students who have interests in STEM, including ourselves, from all around SA, introduced themselves and we started upon our journey to the NYSF. This event made the January sessions one step closer and we cannot wait!
