Term 3 Week 10 27 September 2019

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we have celebrated the positive

behaviours displayed by our students during our PBL

reward day. We had great fun running through the

mazes, playing hungy hippos and attempting some

nija warrior style obstacles. Our students have also

been busy with the school disco and an excursion to

Glenrock.

Today our School Captains joined me in awarding

graduation certificates at the Glendale Technology

High School Year 12 Graduation Ceremony. As their

Year 1 teacher many years ago I was both proud and

honoured to be there with them as the celebrated

their final day of school. We wish them well in their

upcoming exams.

Congratuatlions to Ryder N from 5/6W who was our

school winner of tickets to see Peter Pan at the Civic

Theater during the school holidays.

Term 4 is going to be a very busy term. We are looking

forward to Author visits, dance lessons school musical

rehearsals.

I would like to congratulate the students on a very

busy and successful term and wish you all a safe

holiday.

Megan Hamilton

Assistant Principal (rel.)

Dogs in Schools

From time to time we are finding that dogs are being

brought into the school without prior approval.

The Companion Animals Act 1998 (the Act) provides

that dogs are prohibited from school grounds

whether they are leashed or unleashed.

We ask that when picking up your children or

dropping them off in the morning, that if you are

accompanied by your dog, that you remain outside

the school gates/fence. We have many children

who are frightened of dogs.

PBL News

Students place their Gotchas in the nest after having them recorded by the teacher. Every five weeks we

draw a name out of each stage’s nest. Winners get a $5 canteen voucher. Week 10 winners are Addison

(KW), Siena P (1W), Malakai (3/4G) and Emilee (5/6G).

PBL Major Rewards Day

On Monday we had a sensational time at our PBL Major Rewards day. Students who had consistently shown

safe, focused and respectful behaviour over the last five weeks, were invited to experience our selection of

inflatables. Children and teachers climbed, slid, stretched and jumped their way through each inflatable,

making for an awesome day.

Library Matters

Australian Reading Hour

Australian reading hour was on Thursday 19th

September. All K-6 students were given a

bookmark which was signed by an adult when

they read for an hour and place into a box in the

library. Ten lucky students were drawn from the

box and won a free book and chocolate as

pictured (plus Zac from 1W who was absent).

Visiting Authors

Three authors / illustrators are visiting EVPS

next term. New local author and illustrator

Chrissy McYoung is visiting on 24th October

next term for students in Year 3 to Year 6.

Notes have gone out and places are filling for

$5 per student.

Preschool to Year 2 students will be invited to

attend a session from Lynn Jenkins and Kirrillii

Lonergan on ‘Lessons of a Lac’ on Monday

18th November for $8 per student. Notes will be sent home in week 1 of Term 4.

Mrs Helen Styan – EVPS librarian

Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently

performed family favourites of all time. This high-flying Tony

Award-wining musical has been performed around the world

and delighted audiences for over 60 years.

With an outstanding cast of young performers to feature in

Hunter Drama’s large scale lavish production to be staged at

Newcastle’s beautiful Civic Theatre. It's sure to be the best

school holiday fun ever!

Join Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the

nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a

sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars

that none of them will ever forget.
