Reporting to ParentsReporting to ParentsYour child’s Semester 1 report will be sent home on Friday 5 July 2019. Reports help parents and carers
understand how their child is progressing and how we as teachers can support your child’s future
learning in their academic and social development. The end of semester written reports are just one
way in which our school communicates with parents and carers about how their child is going at school.
At any time throughout the year, our teachers are available for parent-teacher appointments. These can
be by face to face meeting or by telephone appointment if required. Parents and carers wishing to
discuss any aspect of their child’s learning and wellbeing development can make parent-teacher
appointment via our school o�ce.
Mobile Phones and Other Portable Communication Devices atMobile Phones and Other Portable Communication Devices atSchoolSchoolOur school recognises that some students may need to be in possession of a mobile telephone or other
portable communication device at school for a variety of reasons, including enhancing safety in
travelling to and from school. The non-educational use of mobile devices in our school is managed in
accordance with our Mobile Phones and Other Portable Communication Devices Policy. The policy and
parent consent form is available for download from our school website.
GRIP Student Leadership ConferenceGRIP Student Leadership ConferenceLast Monday, our Student Leadership Team and House Captains attended the GRIP Student Leadership
Conference in Gosford. It was a great opportunity for our enthusiastic student leaders to participate in
interactive workshops with students from local schools, to further develop their personal and team
leadership skills and to generate ideas for ways in which students can contribute positively to our
school community. We look forward to our students’ further developments and achievements in this
area. A huge thank you goes to the many parents who assisted in transporting the children to and from
the event and to Mr Foyel for his support of the students on the day.
Have a wonderful week everyone.

participated in the NSW PSSA Knockout Competition at Killarney Vale Oval. We unfortunately lost the
�rst game 2 nil against Brooke Avenue Public School. However, we played really well. Then we got to
play a friendly game against Killarney Vale Public School. It was a fun game and we won 3-1. It was a
brilliant day and we couldn’t have done it without all the parents that transported us to and from the
game.
A special thanks to Mr Foyel who coached us at the game and spent his recess time getting us ready for
the game.

Lions “Recycle for Sight” Program and Wamberal Public SchoolLions “Recycle for Sight” Program and Wamberal Public SchoolOur Student Representative Council is committed to the “Lions Recycle for Sight” program. The aim of
the program is improving vision/sight for communities in developing countries. The Lions “Recycle for
Sight Australia” is part of the Lions Club International Worldwide Eyeglass Recycling Program,
headquartered in Queensland and operating throughout Australia and overseas.
So far, Recycle for Sight Australia has collected thousands of pairs of used glasses, sunglasses, new
frames and other equipment. The program distributes regraded glasses to many parts of the world
through Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs and other humanitarian organisations for distribution to people in
need at no expense or obligation on the recipient.
At Wamberal Public School we think we can help too!
How can you help out?
- Locate any old/used/discarded eyeglasses, sunglasses and reading glasses.
- Drop these unwanted spectacles into the o�ce.
We will then arrange, with the support of the Terrigal Wamberal Lions Club, to have the glasses sent to
the Lions recycling centre in Queensland where the glasses are tested and graded according to the
lenses.
This is a very easy way, as a school community, that we can help out other people less fortunate around
the world. We hope you can get behind this very worthy cause.
