Principal’s Message
VALE – Dave Wainwright
Today we farewelled, Dave Wainwright at a touching funeral service with his family, colleagues, friends, parents and past students. We all remember him as a person and staff member.
Dave had a dry sense of humour and a great zest for life. He enjoyed a great story, and is remembered for his booming laughter. Nothing was off limits for a joke and critique. Dave was a passionate teacher who took his role of preparing students for high school very seriously. He took great interest in his students and was the king of his class. He had a soft interior beneath his deep, strong voice. He will be remembered by all as a larger than life man who had a clever wit and a big heart. Rest in Peace, Dave. It has been a difficult week for staff, past students and many parents who knew Dave well. We would like to thank everyone for their understanding at this time. Staff have appreciated the time to grieve. We have also celebrated with many messages of support and condolences from the community. Dave Wainwright would have wanted everyone to live life to the fullest and relish every moment, especially on crazy hair day! Rhonda Spencer Principal

Harmony Day Friday 24 March Harmony Day is held on March 21 in Australia. Harmony Day is intended to show cohesion and inclusion in Australia and promote a tolerant and culturally diverse society. Harmony Day began in 1999, coinciding with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and each year, it is marked by people coming together and participating in local activities. The continuing message of harmony Day is 'Everyone Belongs'. It is about community participation, inclusiveness, celebrating diversity, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day. Our students all wear orange to show their support for cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia. Harmony Day celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.
The theme for Harmony Day 2017 is “Strength in Harmony”.
Come along and enjoy lunch with your child at 1:00-1:50. A special international menu will be provided very soon if you wish to order from the canteen.

PURPLE HAZE DAY We would like to continue the Samson tradition of student fundraising in Year 6. This year, the children’s efforts will see proceeds go towards the cost of bus transport for all Year 6 students to travel to the community of Yarloop. The purpose of this excursion is for children to participate in a tree planting ceremony with Yarloop Primary School students and be involved in a presentation about the traditional Aboriginal culture of the area. It is also hoped that a bond will form between the students of both schools. The day will highlight how both the culture and community were affected by the bushfires of 2016. TERM 1 WEEK 9 on TUESDAY March 28th Cakes will be on sale for 50c or $1 for all students to purchase to support this event. Kind regards, Deonne Clark and Nancy Giglia
