Dear Families,

Thank you to everybody who has completed the survey about our school newsletter. We had 49 responses, the

feedback and suggestions has been fantastic and appreciated. As we are currently reviewing our newsletter, its

content and modes of delivery, we look forward to sharing with you our new and improved version early next

term.

We have a very exciting week ahead! Stage 2 is off to Zoo Snooze. I’m sure it will be a wonderful and

memorable experience. A huge thank you to Mrs Lowe for her organisation of the excursion and staff attending

to ensure students have a positive experience.

Stage 1 is off to Katoomba for their excursion where they will spend time at the cultural centre and take part in

a national park walk led by a ranger. Thank you to Mrs Jenkins who has organised this day out for our students.

Stage 1 is super excited!

Everyone gets to wear their pyjamas’ to school this Thursday. SRC are kindly raising money for the RSPCA. As

Year 2 will be on their excursion, they will be participating in pyjama day the following Thursday.

Mrs Clift will be commencing pre-school reading time in our library from the start of Term 4, each Friday

morning at 9:00am. This is a wonderful opportunity for our pre-schoolers to come in and familiarise themselves

with our library, librarian and listen to a story.

Please remember it is not ok to approach any child other than your own in a disciplinary manner. If you have any

concerns please raise these with the appropriate teacher and not the child.

We are currently taking enrolments for Kindergarten 2020. Please contact the office for an enrolment pack or if

you would like to arrange a school tour.

Have a fabulous week!

Warm regards,

Melinda Williams

Debating Gala day

Last Friday on the 13th of September, Eden P, Eliza S, Lyla D and Campbell P represented Hazelbrook

Public School at the Mid-Mountains Debating Gala Day held at Springwood public School. We were

given a few weeks to plan, as a team, 3 topics to be debated across the day. The topics we chose

were:

Schools should only use intrinsic rewards for the students. We debated for the negative

Water restrictions should be in place at all times. We debated for the affirmative

There should be no competitive sports in schools. We debated the affirmative.

The standard of debating was excellent from all schools and we finished third overall. It was a great

day and we thank Mr McDonald for his hard work with the school debating team.
