News from the Principal

Welcome parents, families and students to a new school year.

Some important dates to remember:

School Information Night:

Tonight!!! K/1/2 – 5:00pm

3/4/5/6 – 5:20pm

Distance Education – 5:40pm

We hope to see everyone there. We will be talking about how the classes

will work this year and how you can be a partner in your child’s education.

Discovery Day, 17th February.

The fantastic Kelly has put together the helper’s roster. Your name not on

it? Want to help? Get in contact with Kelly, the school or just give a hand

on the night. Many hands make light work and this is a great fundraiser for

the school.

Swimming Carnival

We will be holding 2 practice sessions next week prior to the carnival. To

be sun safe we will be holding these practices first thing in the morning on

Wednesday and Thursday. Please assist by sending your child to school

ready to go. The swimming carnival will be held the following week.

We need parent and family helpers to ensure that these practice sessions

and the carnival is a success. Ms Hemmings will be sending a note home

shortly requesting help. Please put your name down for 1 or all days and

help us to make this the best carnival yet!.

Quote of the Day: Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just

put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.

School Captains Report

Everything has started really well to the new school

year! This year there are 5 new students in Kinder-

garten [ Liana, Emmie, Art, Bronte and I-Chien].

They are going really well at school. Everyone is

getting used to school routines and new classmates.

As School Captain, I recently spoke on behalf of the

school at the Australia Day ceremony, about what it

means to be an Australian. Luckily, there were only

about 20 people, so I wasn’t nervous. The new prin-

cipal, Mrs Takacs, has been really nice and has been

introducing new programs to 3-6. The first week and

a half of term 1 has gone really well, and I can’t wait

for the weeks to come.
