Everyone I have spoken to has said what a fantas c day it was. A huge thank you to Mrs Grieve and Mrs Manga for organising such a successful carnival. I would also like to extend another huge thank you to the P & C, the many wonderful parents who gave up their me to volunteer selling in the canteen or cooking sausages on the bbq. Thank you for your generous support, the P & C made a total profit of $970.34. A fantas c effort which will be used to support student learning and programs in our school. Be Tops Award Winners – Term 2 Congratula ons to the following students who received Be Tops Awards for safe, respec ul learning. Kindergarten – James Wadsworth Year 4 – Angus Pinniger Year 1 – Jack Earle Year 5 – Asher Pye Year 2 – Sara Roberts Year 6 – Ka e Stevens Year 3 – Evie Hart Staffing In the Week 7 newsle er I informed the community that Ms Stevenson would be taking extended leave at the end of this term for the remainder of the year. Her replacement was going to be Miss Amy Kendrick. Unfortunately Miss Kendrick was offered a longer engagement at another school and has subsequently accepted it. Ms Stevenson will now be replaced by Mrs Kent, who will be teaching 2S on Tuesday ‐ Friday and Mrs Atkin, who will teach 2S on Mondays. Our School Counsellor, Mr Phil Smithers, will be re ring at the end of Term 2. At this stage we are s ll wai ng for the Department to provide us with a replacement for him. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Phil for the support he has given to the students and families of The Oaks Public School during his me with us. We will miss him immensely and wish him well in his re rement.

TOPS ATHLETICS CARNIVAL 2017 A beautiful sunny and blue sky was the backdrop for our 2017 Athletics Carnival last Thursday. It was wonderful to see so many TOPS students involved this year, having a go in the K-2 novelty events, all track events, in the Shot Put finals and in Long Jump. Congratulations to all of our students for your fantastic sportsmanship throughout the day! A HUGE thank you to those parents who volunteered their time to help at the Carnival, especially Mr Duguid for shovelling and raking the long jump pits at 8.00am and Mrs Ormerod and her merry band of canteen helpers! During the holidays Mrs Grieve will be finalising the top competitors in each event and assessing the qualifying times and distances for the Razorback Carnival, which is to be held in Week 6 of Term 3. Only 2 competitors from each event can attend the Razorback Carnival if they have qualified. Please be aware that even though a student came 1st or 2nd in their event, they will not represent at the Razorback Carnival if they did not meet the qualifying time/distance. Students will be notified via a note if they have qualified for the Razorback Carnival during Term 3. Listed over the page are the top 3 competitors from each event. Congratulations to those students. A huge congratulations to Waratah House! You are the winners of the Athletics Carnival. Mrs Manga and Mrs Grieve Carnival Coordinators
