SAFE RESPONSIBLE RESPECTFUL
Year 6 Camp
Last week Year 6 students spent a fabulous week at
Berry Sport & Recreation Camp, learning to face their
fears and to challenge themselves. I visited the camp
on Thursday and Friday and I was most impressed
with the behaviour and attitude of our students.
I witnessed lots of students and teachers having lots
of fun .
A big thank you to both Mrs Cooper and Mr Fagan for
leaving their families and their own commitments for a
week, to be on duty 24 hours a day for 5 days (and no
overtime pay either !! ) Now that’s dedication for you!!
Parents will hear lots of recounts of events, as
students return with memories to last a lifetime.
Well done everyone!
State Hockey Representative!
Last newsletter we reported that Georgia Staines and
Makayla Jones were in the South Coast region PSSA
girls hockey team, competing at the NSW carnival in
Murwillumbah. Both Year 5 girls enjoyed the
competition.
Congratulations to Makayla Jones who was selected
in the NSW team. She will now represent NSW in
Perth in August. We are very proud of you and know
that you are wonderful ambassadors for our school ,
district and region! Good luck Makayla!

School Visitors Policy
All visitors to the school are required and reminded to
sign in at the School Administration Office, prior to
undertaking any activity within the school. Visitors are
then asked to wear a “visitors label”, which must be
worn at all times while in the school.
Similarly, visitors are also required to “sign out” in the
Visitors Book when they are leaving the school.
This policy enables the school to provide, a safe and
secure learning environment for all student, staff,
parents and resources.
5 CENT DAY
Last Friday, the 7 of June, Wollondilly School held a
5 cent day. Students bought in any 5 cent coins they
had laying around at home. The money raised will
go towards purchasing new equipment for the
school. We had fun at assembly lining up coins and
measuring some of the lines. A big thank you to
Miss Tilley and Miss Dyer for organising the lines of
coins. Thankyou also to everyone for your most
generous contributions.
SRC CAKE STALL FUNDRAISER FOR NEPAL
This Friday ( 12 June) the SRC is holding a cake
stall to raise money for the people of Nepal. As you
may know, there was a terrible earthquake there a
few weeks ago which left thousands dead, homeless
and injured. We hope to raise enough money to buy
a Shelter Box to send to Nepal.
A Shelter Box includes a tent, a small stove for
cooking, blankets and other items people need
when they lose everything. Mrs Woodbury has also
purchased wrist bands which will also be on sale on
Friday. The SRC will be holding another event (to be
announced) on the last day of term which will help
raise the money we need for the Shelter Box. You
can “Google” Shelter Box if you are interested to see
what a Shelter Box actually is. So, please bring
along some money this Friday to buy a cake and
a wrist band to help this very worthy cause.
Testimonials Lots of our students are enjoying the benefits of
the
MultiLit literacy program. Parents and carers of
these children all agree that this program is really
showing results.
“I endorse MultiLit! It is giving the students at
Wollondilly another chance to achieve their
goals.”
MultiLit is brillant. The benefits the program
has for our students is obvious! They are
making good progress.”

If you are keen to learn about MultiLit and would
like to be trained, please let Mr Armstrong or Mrs
Cameron, know as we are always keen to extend
this great program.
