Dear Parents,

ANNUAL GOLDEN BAY PRIMARY SCHOOL ART SHOW —ARTS BY THE BAY

We have already commenced all the preparations for our annual Art Show. The theme this

year is ‘Arts By The Bay—Colour’. In term four we will be celebrating the work of all students with

a Visual and Performing Arts display on the lawn and in the undercover area after school on

Monday 26 November.

The art work is coming together beautifully, and the instrumental music on the night is sure to

blow your socks off! The P&C will be organising a sausage sizzle as part of the evening. You

and your family are invited to enjoy a family picnic on the lawn as you listen to our creative

students play. Look out for the posters!

It’s a terrific opportunity for you to celebrate with your child and enjoy their art and musical

achievements.

FACTION CARNIVAL

Congratulations to our four school factions for all their efforts leading up to our senior jumps and

faction carnivals. Kids really love this time where everyone gets an chance to continuously

engage in activities. Mr Green has worked tirelessly to ensure that there is something for

everyone on each of the days. As always, I look forward to seeing parents in attendance. Our

community involvement is always superb and everyone tries just that little bit more when they

see their families at our events.

NAPLAN RESULTS

NAPLAN results for students in years three and five were sent home in envelopes addressed to

parents on the last day of term.

Parents are reminded that this is only a snapshot on one day of the year and that it is best to use

the results in conjunction with other school results and information. A full conversation with the

classroom teacher will provide you with an informed view of how your child is progressing over

time. This is highly recommended.

END OF TERM

I wish all families a safe and relaxing break with family and friends.

Students return to school on Tuesday 9 October 2018. I look forward to welcoming everyone

back!

Golden Bay Primary School

2019 Enrolments

Enrolments are being accepted for 2019.

If you know you are moving in to the

area please place your enrolment for

2019 now. All current kindergarten

students who are local to the area will

automatically be rolled over in to Pre-

primary for 2019.

All current Kindergarten students residing

outside of the Golden Bay zone will need

to enrol at their local primary school.

VERY IMPORTANT - School Car Parks

We are very fortunate to have a total of 96 car parking bays

for parents and visitors in the Tangadee Road and Arizona

Parade car parks down either side of the school. A further 28

indented parallel bays can be accessed roadside.

For safety reasons I allocated the car park at the front of the

school on Thundelarra Drive as a ‘Staff Only’ car park. A

number of families cross in the ‘walk area’ of the car park at

the start and finish of school.

Students can be very difficult to see next to cars. It is

extremely important that this car park (reserved for staff) is

not used as a drop off and pick up point.

With good reason, I respectfully ask that parents do not use

this car park at all (the only exception is the use of the

reserved parking for disabilities).

All competitors will receive ribbons and stickers throughout the carnivals.

RE: Kindergarten & Pre-primary Arrival & Dismissal

In the interest of ongoing safety, I ask that all students be dropped off and picked up

from the Kindergarten and Pre-primary classrooms by a parent or a nominated adult.

If there is a change to drop off or pick up arrangements please notify the classroom

teacher and Administration staff so that your child’s contact list can be updated.

Adults nominated by parents will be asked to provide proof of identification by the

teacher at the time of collection.

If you require further information please contact me on 9583 8800.

Thank you for your support with this important matter.

Kind regards,
