Cross CountryOur Cross Country representatives will be competing at the Headlands District

Cross Country Carnival tomorrow at Teven Tintenbar. A big thank you to all our

parents who have offered to transport our team of runners. Those students who

are not travelling with their parents have been allocated a seat with another

parent as shown below. If there are any changes to travel arrangements listed

below, please contact the school as a matter of urgency. Students are asked to be

at school by 8:30am.

Mr Hann will be attending as our teacher from Broadwater School, but will have

an official capacity on the course. Mrs Watts will be the manager for our small

competitors every success!

SRC FundraiserLast Friday was Do It For Dolly Day. Thank you everyone for dressing in blue and

bringing in a gold coin donation. We raised $94.00!! This

money will go to the Dolly’s Dream Foundation and will be

used for programs to continue to raise awareness about the

issue of bullying, provide support and deliver educational

resources for parents whose kids may be bullied or bullying.

Over 8 million Australians have heard Dolly’s story and that

helps prevent lives being lost to bullying.

Term 2 Week 3 Thursday 16 May 2019

RoboticsRobotics got off to a great start this week.

Students were engaged in a number of

different activities involving building

robots, problem solving, coding and designing. Robotics

groups will be operating for the remainder of this term.

Soccer SkillsAll students in the school took part in our first soccer skills

session today as part of our Sporting Schools program.

The students were so enthusiastic and engaged in the skill

and games activities. We are very lucky to have Emma

join us again to support the students in developing their

running, kicking, passing and dribbling. There were also

some great opportunities for lots of teamwork. The

school soccer squad has commenced training for their

first knockout game which will be played this term.

Lake AinsworthPlans are currently being made for our Senior Excursion to

Lake Ainsworth in Term 4. This was previously mentioned

in the Class Newsletter in Term 1.

All students in Years 3-6 have the opportunity to attend

this 3-day 2-night excursion. The staff from the Sport and

Recreation Centre organise all accommodation, activities

and meals. All students in the senior class have been

provided with an information note today outlining all the

details planned to this point in time. Please return the

permission note with the non-refundable deposit by the

end of Week 5 (31 May).

We are hoping that the whole class can join us on what is

a very exciting and enjoyable excursion. With the number

of girls in the class it has been decided that we will take a

parent (mum) with us to support the

group. If you are interested please let

Mr Curtin know.

If you have any queries or concerns

please don’t hesitate to call the school.

P&C MeetingOur next P&C meeting will be held on Monday 20 May

at 5pm in the Library. The change of day and time may

suit other parents who might now be able to attend.

All parents and carers are welcome to come along and

discuss fundraising ideas and school programs.

Scholastic Book FairA huge thank you to all students and families who

supported our Book Fair. We set ourselves a very high

goal of 100 books to sell and with every 15 sold, a $10 gift

voucher was given away. We were amazed at how close

to our goal we came with 95 books being sold!! (Voucher

winners: Trae, Clay, Paige, Josie, Halle and Kobie). Well

done everyone. A very big thank you also to Sunshine

Sugar who donated $100 and this was used to purchase 7

books for our Library.

Including this donation we sold a total of $1494.00 worth of

books and accessories, which allowed us to choose books

to the total of $448.00 for our school. An incredible effort

for our small school! Altogether we received 39 new books

for our Library. Students have already started borrowing

these new books and over the next couple of weeks, we

will have them all covered and available from the Library.

Again we thank you for your support.

Miss Beatie and Mrs Skaines.

National Simultaneous StorytimeNational Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is an annual

campaign that aims to encourage more young Australians

to read and enjoy books. Every year a picture book, written

and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator is read

simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare

centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places

around the country. This year the book is “Alpacas with

Maracas” written and

illustrated by Matt Cosgrove.

We will be joining in NSS

next Wednesday 22 May.

Miss Beattie.

Woolworths Earn & LearnWoolworths has launched their Earn & Learn program

again this year. If you shop at Woolworths between 1 May

and 26 June you can earn 1 sticker for every $10 you spend.

Our school will be collecting these stickers which we can

then use to purchase new school equipment: things

such as sporting goods, classroom supplies and teaching

aids. You can bring your stickers into the school office or

look for the collection boxes with our school name on it

outside Woolworths supermarkets. Keep an eye out for

double sticker promotions from

Woolworths as the more stickers

we collect the more supplies we

receive. Thank you for supporting

our school.
