Quiz Series
Last week we completed out academic quiz series for 2015
with stage 2 and parents v teachers. Our goal throughout this
series was to create interest and excitement with an
academic focus—we certainly achieved this. Thanks need to
be passed on to all, especially Mr Jetson for his quiz skills,
and a special mention to the staff at Cessnock West Public
School for writing the teacher v parent questions. Due to the
success of this initiative we are already discussing a 2016
quiz series!
Enrolment Forms
New enrolment forms will be sent out next week to all
families. This is to ensure we have up to date contact
information and that all categories of data held on our system
are accurate. Some of the questions on enrolment forms are
used by the Department of Education to calculate school
funding to support learning programs for students, so
complete and accurate data is very important. If anyone
would like assistance with these forms please let me know
and we will arrange this support.

Morning Tea
Thanks to all for attendance at today’s morning tea—it was
great to have the opportunity to catch up over a cup of tea
and a biscuit. We are planning on making this a regular
event on our school calendar—watch this space for the
December date.
Disco & Parent Information Session
We have scheduled our term 4 disco for Wednesday 2
December—this is an opportunity for the students to be
involved in a disco and for parents to attend information
sessions in the classrooms, focussing upon strategies
parents can use to support their children’s learning. The
session times for infants disco and information session are
4-5pm and Primary disco and information session are
5-6pm.
Enrolment for 2016
Enrolments for 2016 are close to finalised, with a large
amount of enrolments occurring during the last few weeks.
Student numbers have a large impact upon our ability to
plan as finances, buildings and staffing numbers are
heavily tied to student population. I ask that if there are any
outstanding enrolments for 2016 that contact be made with
the office to allow these to be processed and to support
2016 planning.
