Principal’s Message

PREMIER’S SPELLING BEE

We were so excited to have two of our students, Emilia (4M) and Fatimah (5C) compete in the finals of

the Premier’s Spelling Bee last Friday. Both students did extremely well with

Fatimah reaching the sixth round in the senior competition and Emilia

winning the junior one! Big congratulations to both girls and

special congratulations to Emilia for being this year’s junior champion!

THREE WEDDINGS AND

A BABY!

Over the last couple of months we

have had 3 staff weddings. I would like to congratulate Mr Denny, Mr

Martin and Ms Webb on their recent nuptials and wish them a long and

happy life with their respective partners. Mr Denny and Mr Martin will keep their names (;-)) and Ms

Webb will now be known as Mrs Klinkenberg.

This Friday will be Mrs Beard’s last day before commencing her maternity

leave. We wish her all the best as she enters this new phase of her life.

CANTEEN TENDER

Our school canteen tender is up for renewal. Please refer to the

advertisement on page 4 for further information.

MINI FETE

Preparations are in full swing for this year’s Year 6 Mini Fete that is being

held this Thursday. A reminder that the fete runs from 11am ‘til 1pm and

that school-age children who do not attend our school are not permitted to

attend. As it is a legal school day, school-

aged children must be in attendance at the respective schools. I thank you

in advance for your co-operation and support.

2019 CHANGE OF SCHOOL

A note went home last week asking you to notify us if your child/ren will not be

returning to our school in 2019. This note is a crucial part of our school

planning to ensure we have accurate numbers of staffing.

If you are yet to return this note and your children are not returning next

year, I urge you to return it as soon as possible.
