As we approach the end of the 2017 school year we should

take the time to reflect on all the wonderful learning that has

taken place in the school over the last 11 months. Alongside

this learning are many additional curriculum learning

opportunities offered to the whole school or small groups

around the school. Swimming Lessons, Music is Fun Band,

Sports Day, Choir performances, Harmony Day,

NAPLAN, Reconciliation Week, SAPSASA, Dance Sport

and Aquatics are just a few stand out items that we have

seen students across the school participating in. It’s been a

big year, so remember to be kind to yourselves at this busy

time!

We would like to thank all of the families for attending our

celebration Twilight Concert last Thursday at the Gawler

Starplex. We were very proud of the students and the

excellent job they did. So much effort went into rehearsing

the items, and it was lovely to see so many families

supporting our students—we had almost 1,000 people

attend! A shout out to the teachers who kicked the concert

off with their own item, the cheers from the crowd made the

after school practices worth it. Thank you also to the

committee who planned all year for an amazing night.

This week we will farewell our year 7 students as they

transition into High School. Some of these students have

been with us since the beginning of their schooling so this

may be both a sad and happy time for them. We hope they

have many fond memories of their time with us and we wish

them all the best for their future. To celebrate the completion

of their primary schooling, the Year 7 Graduation will be held

on Tuesday 12th of December at 5:45pm at the Playford

Civic Centre

The Gawler Pool excursion is another exciting whole school

event organised to celebrate the year’s successes. This year

the pool excursion will happen on Thursday 14th December.

Students will experience a day of fun aquatic activity, but

don’t forget to make sure they wear sun safe bathers and

apply plenty of sunscreen!

Saying goodbye is always sad but we always wish

everyone goodluck in their endeavours. This year, we are

saying farewell to Keagan English, Kristie Moreshead, Lyn

Henderson, Kate Evans. We thank you all for your

contribution to our school and hope to see you all again

soon. We are farewelling Debbie Bellefemini as our canteen

manager, thank you for feeding us delicious food and looking

after us for so long. We are also saying goodbye to Kelly

Neldner, our NACYS Social Worker, who will be having a

baby early next year.

We will be finishing last day of school this Friday 16th

December finishing at 2pm. School reports will be sent

home with your children on this day. All students will be

dismissed from the Gym after our farewell assembly. 2018

class placements will be announced on Thursday 25th

Jan. Come to school at 11am, where the class

placements will be displayed in the gym. All students and

families are welcome to go to their new class and meet their

teacher for 2018. More information about meeting the

teacher will be in the report envelopes.

Thank you for a wonderful 2017! Have a safe holiday and we

cant wait to see what 2018 holds for us!

Uniform Purchases 2018 Canteen News

NEW CANTEEN MANAGEMENT FOR 2018:

In 2018 we aim to develop our canteen so that it works closely with

kitchen garden staff to incorporate the food grown and produced by

the volunteers and the students.

We envisage the canteen and the school kitchen garden working

together with teachers, parents and students to develop healthy

attitudes and good eating habits.

To support this new approach the canteen will be closed on

Monday’s but open earlier Tuesday to Friday.

We are advertising for new manager.

We thank Debbie Bellifemni for all her hard work over the last 8

years.

2018 Opening times

Opened from 8:30am Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and

Friday

Recess orders only
