Education Week 2018 Open Classrooms Under beautiful blue skies, our school was a hive of activity today as our classrooms were open for Education Week.

A big thanks to all the parents, family members and friends that were able to attend and witness the variety of academic, garden and dance lessons on offer today. We very much appreciate the support you give us.

Thanks also to our hard working staff who ensured the classrooms were spectacular and was a wonderful experience for our visitors. Our students are very fortunate to have such caring and dedicated teachers.

School Uniform Since returning to school this term, a number of students have lowered their usual high standard of school uniform. I have been speaking to the senior students about being role models for all students and making the right choices about what they wear each day.

There is still a lot of clothes in lost property, if your child is missing a jacket or jumper, please check next to 4/5D classroom in Block A. A reminder that high boots, ugg boots and brightly coloured joggers are not part of our school uniform. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Solar Installation I have been informed by the contractors that work should commence on August 27. I will keep parents and students informed as we get closer. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The next school newsletter will be Thursday 23 August, 2018.

Enjoy your week.

Dance Sport Dance Sport is approaching and Year 5 students have been working with Ms Sherrie on the appropriate dance routines for the main event.

Doors will open at 6pm.

Parents who have students participating in the event make sure you save the date and put it in your diaries, as it is going to be an event to remember.

Please ensure you bring back signed permission slips, medi-cal and food orders before Thursday 6th of September.

Ballroom Dancing Update Stage 2 students have been working extremely hard with Ms Sherrie to perfect the dancing routine for the end of year Ballroom con-cert.

Eco-Warrior News On Friday 27th July, our eco warriors had the opportunity to participate in National Tree day. It is Australia’s largest tree planting and nature care day. Tree Day is an oppor-tunity for students to do something positive for our communi-ty and the environment by connecting with nature.

Below are some comments from some of our eco warriors about the day:

Last week, we celebrated National tree planting day. All the eco warriors planted all dif-ferent types of plants including ferns and birds nest. We all had so much fun. We got to

use equipment like gloves and shovels to help us plant our trees. It was a very hot day but we didn’t give up. We planted them up the back of the school near the year one

rooms. I can’t wait to see them grow!

Nica – Eco-warrior for 4S

We each got a plant that was in a pot. Then we took it out and the teacher showed us how to do that. Then we dug a hole and we got to water it. It was fun.

Lina – 1H

Congratulations to all our eco warriors!

Sustainability tips from our Eco teachers Mrs Anstey & Miss Hamilton:

Switch off your lights and appliances Take reusable bags to the shops Minimise waste of packaging and materials

– refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle

On Tuesday 7th August, our eco warriors were presented with their

badges at assembly. What a fantastic and exciting day!
