Following Presentation Night there will be supper, so we ask each family to bring a plate of food. The P&C will be providing tea, coffee and cordial or water. Come along and join in the success of our students, all the way from Kindergarten right through to Year 6. Special thanks to Mrs Farley and Mrs Dunn who have worked tirelessly in organising and preparing everything for our special night.

YEAR 6 GRADUATION DINNER

Mrs Dunn  did  an  amazing  job  in  creating  very  unique placemats and placecards and choosing excellent cups, serviettes  and  balloons  for  the  Year  6  Graduation Dinner. Thanks also to Mrs Bell and Year 5 for preparing the  whole  dining  area.  It  was  rather  flash.  Year  5 parents  co‐ordinated  by  Kelly  Hinchcliffe  prepared  a truly memorable delicious dinner of great variety.   This special night should be a very special memory for all of our Year 6  students who head off  to high  school next year. Whilst  it  is  an  exciting  and  sometimes  nervous time  for  Year  6  students  completing  their  primary schooling and beginning a new chapter  in their  lives at secondary  school,  it  is  also  sad  for  students  and  staff alike  have  been  together  for  seven  pretty  amazing years. We wish them well, knowing that they have the strength  of  character  and  academic  skills  to  be  highly successful. More  importantly  they  should develop  into very  fine  caring,  thoughtful,  compassionate  and tolerant adults.  

A great big thank you must be given to Mrs Ann Horder for once again  so generously donating  the Graduation cake.    

SEMESTER 2 STUDENT REPORTS

Next Wednesday  each  child  should  bring  home  their Semester Two reports for 2017. Please  commend  the  children  on  their  successes  and pay particular  attention  to  the  EFFORT boxes because students  who  struggle  in  some  areas  maybe  really giving it their all.  

Also have  a  chat  about  any  areas  for development or improvement and set these as goals for next year.  

If  you  have  the  opportunity  during  the  holidays  play some board games or similar with your children.   

Don’t forget they can log on to Mathletics, Reading Eggs or  Reading  Eggspress  to  continue  developing  their literacy and numeracy skills throughout the holidays.
