Principal’s Report: I.N.O.K.T.B.A:
Students attendance in term 3
was very good - especially
considering all of the coughs,
colds and viruses that seemed
to be constantly circulating.
25 students attended school
every day. 75 students
achieved 96% attendance or
better for the term. Grade
5/6A again had the best
attendance with 70% of the
class away for only two days
or less. Well done kids!
Remember, those students
with 96% attendance for the
year will be invited to a free
trip to the water slide in the
last week of term.
Regional Athletics Finals:
Ava Faulkhead, Bryce Manzie
and Jemmika Douglas
travelled to Bendigo on
Monday to compete in the
Regional Aths Finals. All three
students did a wonderful job
with Jemmika coming 2nd in
the 1500 metre event.
Jemmika now travels to
Melbourne for the State Finals
in two weeks.
Alice in Operaland:
Students in grade 5/6 travelled
to Ranfurly Primary School
last Friday to see the Victorian
Opera production of “Alice in
Operaland”. Our students
enjoyed the experience and
challenge of the opera
performance - perhaps a once
in a lifetime opportunity for
most.
Grade 3/4 Excursion:
Students in grade 3/4 will be
travelling to the Mildura Show
tomorrow to participate in
National Water Week
activities.
Our students will be leaving
school at 10.15am and will
return by 1.45pm.
No Lunch Orders Friday:
The bakery has advised it is
unable to supply lunch orders
this Friday.
Students must bring their own
lunch to school on Friday.
Big Lizzie:
Students from grades 3 - 6 walked
to Barclay Square this morning to
help celebrate “Big Lizzie’s”
birthday.
Our students also went to
Diggerland Theatre to see some
historical movies and photos.
Well done kids - you were
fantastic ambassadors for our
school - again!
Mini Show:
The annual Red Cliffs Primary
School Mini Show will be held
this Friday, October 16th.
All students are encouraged to
enter as many sections as they
can. See last week’s
newsletter for full details.
Parents are invited to come and
tour our show during the
morning from 9.30am.
Grade 3/4 Camp/
Grade 2 Sleep-over:
Students in grade 3/4 will be
travelling to Swan Hill on
Wednesday 28th October to
participate in a 2 night-3 day
camp.
Permission notes and medical
consent forms must be returned to
school by next Friday. Payment
must also be finalised by next
Friday — parents having
difficulty meeting this deadline
are asked to contact me.
The grade 2 sleep-over will be
held on Thursday 29th October.
