Dear Parents,

I am very proud of the settled start that we have had to this year. It is fantastic

to walk around the school to see all of the classes working so well. This is a

credit to our hardworking teachers and students. It is also great to have such a

large amount of parent support for our school. 2016 is going to be a great year!

Lots of terrific things happening again at

Prairievale PS. Keep up to date on our

website

itunes or google playstore - just search

Zone Swimming

Congratulations to these students who will be representing our school at the

Zone Swimming Carnival on Friday.

Car Park

This is a reminder that no parents are to enter the staff car parks at any time unless they have consent from myself. This is a safety issue for all of our students. We have also had this message translated into Arabic as we believe it

is an important issue for our school at the moment.

Reading Nights

At Prairievale PS we promote reading for enjoyment in order to improve student’s reading skills. We suggest that students read every night. This does not always have to be out loud (especially for older students). In order to encourage our students to read, we have a Reading Nights sheet. When students reach certain Reading Milestones such as 25 nights and 50 nights their names appear in this

newsletter. Just inform your teacher when you have reached each level.

Merit Awards

A reminder that it is each child’s responsibility to collect their merit awards that they are receiving at school. When they have collected 5 awards, they should bring them to Miss Suzy in the office (either in a snap lock bag or held together with a paperclip). She will then be able to organise a Bronze Award that will be

awarded at the next assembly.

Remember: 5 Merit Awards (with a Prairievale logo) = Bronze

3 Bronze Awards = Silver

3 Silver = Gold

Have a good couple of weeks,
