Term 2, Week 4 Newsletter

11/05/2021

Welcome to Week 4, Term 2 is flying by!

As the weather gets colder, please ensure students are wearing the correct school jackets or jumpers.

They are able to wear navy blue long sleeves under their t-shirts or navy blue tights under skirts. As

they sometimes leave jackets/jumpers at school overnight, please write their names on them so they

don’t get lost or taken by accident.

Attached to this week’s newsletter is a proposed mural designed by the students and Mrs Hayes. This

mural will be painted on the facing wall of the toilet block. This will form part of the Creative Art’s pro-

gram for this semester and has been used in our PDHPE discussions about what makes us unique and

individual.

Toastie Fridays

What better way to celebrate the end of a

week then with a nice warm toastie?

Remember to pack a sandwich to toast on Fri-

days.

Week 5 Assembly

We invite families and members of the com-

munity to join us for our mid-term assembly.

Students will be sharing some of their work.

We also have some reading awards to be

handed out!

Welcome Ethan!

We welcome Ethan and his family, Jamie and

Cristina to White Cliffs Public School. Ethan will

be our 5th year four student and we are sure

the students will make Ethan feel very wel-

come at school.
