PRINCIPAL NEWS
Out of School Hours Care
As you all know our hall upgrade will include an after school care facility, which we anticipate will open in 2021. As part of the tendering process, we are required to provide an overview of potential participant numbers.
Later this week, a google survey will be sent out to all families regarding your use of the new facility. Please complete the survey if you think you would use before or after school care, if located at our school. This is by no way a guarantee of placement, rather a predicted use survey.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please keep an eye out for the survey. It will be published through all of our regular channels.
Enrolments 2021 Our enrolment numbers are coming in for 2021, especially for our kindergarten students. I encourage all current families, who have a younger sibling starting next year, to ensure the enrolment forms are in promptly. We are entering our new
staffing cycle and we need to confirm student numbers to predict our staffing numbers. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Bike Safety
It is wonderful to see so many of our students riding their bikes to school each day. It is a great way to stay fit and healthy.
Paint Room
Unfortunately, I have had a local resident approach me concerned for the safety of some students, who are riding in a large group and are crossing roads without looking. They are ultimately heading toward the beach, or path out to Salt. He has, on several occasion, seen them race across roads, trying to keep up with each other, and has had to stop quickly to avoid collision. Help to keep “Kingy kids” safe.
Please remind your children:
to ride safely,
to look before crossing,
always wear a helmet and
be aware of your surroundings Thank you Diana Foley PRINCIPAL

KIMP NEWS
KIMP Accounts A very big thank you to those families who have paid their KIMP fees for Term 3. As you know the program is self funded and the fees cover the cost of employing Rob and I. We were so lucky to have school cover these costs for all families last term and I know families appreciated this help. There are still a large number of fees outstanding for this term so it would be much appreciated if these could now be paid. I understand we all have a lot of financial pressure at the moment so if you would like to set up a payment plan to take care of outstanding fees please just ring the office and they will be very happy to help organise this. KIMP accounts have gone home in the post at the end of last week. Payment is required by Friday 11 September. Updates I have been emailing parents with information regarding any changes happening with KIMP , if you have not been receiving these please contact me. Lessons I just wanted to let you know I will be away this week as I have hurt my back. It means there won't be lessons for my students this week. Mr Walsh will still be in teaching on Tuesday and percussion lessons will be in the music room. Given the additional Covid restrictions which came into place this week (no brass allowed in groups) we have decided to cancel band for the final weeks of this term. We did give it a good shot this week and I think had some fun but the logistics of turning each band into a percussion only ensemble with large numbers of students has led to this decision. I am just crossing everything that come next term we will allowed to go back to normal band rehearsals. Nicky Cooper Kingscliff Instrumental Music Program Kingscliff Public School
STUDENT ATTENDANCE Reminder, if students are absent from school, the parent/carer will receive an automated SMS requesting you contact the school via School Stream, Seesaw or phone to provide an explanation for the absence.
