A KIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (School Musical)

My sincere thanks to staff, parents and all our fabulous students who made it possible to

hold such a successful major event in our first year! By all accounts, parents were very

pleased with the production and were extremely proud of their kids.

Please note: You can secure a copy of the DVD through the Administration Office.

LOCAL CHRISTMAS APPEAL

The local Christmas appeal is proudly supporting the Coastal District Care

Community; St Vincent De Paul and The Salvation Army in helping local

people during this period.

Donations of non-perishable food and unwrapped gifts for children and adults are

needed by 3 December. If you would like to donate you can simply bring donations to the

school and we’ll coordinate the drop off for you. Alternatively, you can drop them directly

to Paul Papalia’s Office at Unit 10A, 2 Oasis Drive Secret Harbour. See the flyer in this

newsletter.

SCHOOL SONG

Our school song has been written and trialled by our choir. We look forward to sharing it

with you.

KINDY CAFÉ

A reminder to all parents with children starting school for the first time in 2016 that the

Kindy Café is being held here at school on Tuesday 8 December starting at 9am. You will

meet key people involved in your child’s education and will be given a ‘take home’ bag of

goodies to help you prepare your child for a positive start to school.

I look forward to seeing you and your child on the day.

GOLDEN BAY DENTAL THERAPY CENTRE

DENTAL NEWS

HEALTHY SNACKS

Establishing healthy eating habits from a young age not only benefits our dental health

but leads to good dietary health in general. Sugar in our diet is a major factor in tooth

decay.

By only offering a variety of nutritious foods as snacks we can help maintain not only

healthy teeth but a healthy body also.

It is not possible to avoid sugar altogether so limit to occasional, try to have with a meal

and avoid in between meals. Go for a healthy choice like cheese, fruit and vegetables,

dips and crackers.

WHEN YOU NEED A DRINK

Did you know soft drinks, fruit juice; energy and sport drinks are all very high in sugar

content.

These drinks are generally highly acidic also, which can cause tooth erosion.

Recommended drink of choice is plain old WATER, it’s cheap and thirst quenching.

Alternatively plain milk in moderation is okay.
