From The Principal: Cross Country Carnival
Last week we held our annual Cross Country Carnival at Blenheim Park. This was a wonderful event at
such a lovely venue within walking distance for our students. The enthusiastic participation of students
was a pleasure to watch and the cheers from the sidelines encouraged runners to get to the finish line.
A big thank you to the staff for organising the event and supervising on the day.
Movie Night
Last Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful P&C event take place at school. The weather
let us down and the event needed to be moved to the school hall which did not dampen the spirits of
those families who attended. The smell of freshly made popcorn, the opportunity to buy homemade food
and watch a wonderful family film all came together to create a great atmosphere on the night.
A big thank you to the P&C for organising such a unique school event.
Parent/Teacher Meetings
The Parent/Teacher meetings are currently underway and it has been pleasing to see the number of
parents who have booked in to meet with their child’s teachers. A reminder that the purpose of the
Parent/Teacher meeting is to provide you with a brief summary of your child’s progress in Term 1 and
give you an opportunity to pass on any relevant information that may assist the teacher with your child’s
development in 2019.
Anne Barltrop
Principal

Friday evening saw another successful Truscott St community event at our annual movie night. Whilst
the weather wasn’t in our favour this year the hall still proved to be a fun place to meet up with friends
and watch a movie. Thank you to everyone who helped make the night run smoothly. Special mention to
Loretta, Sam and Jasna who supplied families with dinner from the canteen.
