`

This week our Junior and Senior choirs

will travel to the Entertainment Centre

for a rehearsal in the lead up to the

Choral Festival next week. Although

this is a rehearsal, I would like to see all

students wearing as much of the correct

school uniform as possible.

NAIDOC Day celebrations will take

place this Friday and I am looking

forward to joining in with many of the

exciting activities planned for the day.

On Thursday Mrs Fraser and I will

attend a workshop to further develop

our understanding about financial

budgets and reports.

Please keep a spot in your calendar free

next week if possible, so that you are

able to attend many of the events

planned for Education Week. These

included our open day and BBQ lunch,

Choral Festival and Athletics Events.

On a final note, I would like to

reinforce today’s article about wearing

the correct school uniform. This

morning, I explained to the students

that wearing the same uniform makes

us look like a team and helps to make

all students feel included.

I would like to ask all parents and

carers to support the school by ensuring

that their child or children endeavour to

wear the correct school uniform each

day

Open Day BBQ Lunch On Tuesday 29

th July we will be holding an open day to help

celebrate Education Week. Parents and Grandparents are asked to

attend open classes between 12:00pm-1:00pm. If you would like

to stay and have lunch with your child please feel free to do so.

We have a sausage sizzle and attached to the newsletter is a pre-

order form. Cost $2 per sausage, with onions $1 extra, sauce and

bread.

School Uniform

There are a large number of students not wearing school

uniforms at the moment. I understand that the weather can play a

part, laundry issues, but wearing a uniform is an important part

of your child’s time at school. If you have difficulty getting a

uniform please come along to the office and we will assist you.

Report Error We would like to apologies for a formatting error which occurred on the Level

system of the report. Some children were on a higher welfare level. If you

would like to clarify your child’s welfare level please contact the classroom

teacher.

NAIDOC WEEK CELEBRATIONS

This Friday, 25th

July, Railway Town will be celebrating

NAIDOC Week. NAIDOC Week was held during the school

holidays so we have chosen Friday as the day to celebrate. All

students will take part in activities relating to the celebrations.

Some activities include Johnny cakes, painting, story time and

beading. We would love for our indigenous families to come

along and join the celebrations. Activities begin at 9:30 and

continue on until lunchtime.
