A KIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (School Musical)
With only four weeks until the big night at the
Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, staff and
students are getting very excited about the school
musical performance. Please help by checking with
your classroom teacher regarding any costume
accessories that may be needed.
Tickets for 19 November are on sale from the Administration Office.
Sharon is looking forward to helping you with your ticket selection.
SCHOOL VALUES
I’m pleased to share that our school signage is currently at the printers. I’ve included a couple of examples for you.
I look forward to the installation of large signs around our school midway through this term. Well done to our students
and staff who helped shape what our signs should include.
P&C DONATION
Congratulations and a big thank you
from staff and students to our P&C
who raised $1 500 towards the
purchase of musical instruments for
our school. This contribution is
significant in the development of The
Arts in our school.
FOUNDATION PLAQUES
A note will be coming home to you in the near future from our P&C detailing how you can make your mark as a foundation
family of Golden Bay Primary School by purchasing a memorial family plaque to be placed on our Foundation Memorial
Wall.
SCHOOL BANKING
School banking will be launched at our school on the 4 December. What a super way for children to learn about the value
of money and save for their future. I look forward to sharing more details of key contact and the process in our next
newsletter.

STRANGER DANGER AND STUDENT SAFETY
With Halloween fast approaching and all the publicity that accompanies it, I urge all
children to take care on this evening in addition to regular travel to and from school. Always report anything suspicious to parents, the school and the police.
You can call 13 14 44 to report an incident to WA Police or 1800 333 000 to reach Crime Stoppers
(only use 000 in an emergency) .
Here are some suggestions to help your children stay safe:
always travel in a group
walk on the right hand side of the road to face oncoming traffic
wherever possible, leave space between you and the roadway
stay in areas that are well lit
stay in view – avoid going into areas that are hidden (such as parkland bush or behind shopping centres)
be alert – earphones and headphones can reduce your awareness considera-bly
if you have a mobile phone, have it turned on and ready to dial an emergency number
if a passing car stops nearby, never get too close
run from a situation if you feel at risk
report suspicious behaviour to your parents, school and the police
if you can get it safely, try to photograph or remember the number plate of the car
report number plates of cars and the clothing or any distinguishing features of individuals to police.
To get the latest community safety information from police, visit WA Police on Face-book www.facebook.com/WA.Police or online at www.police.wa.gov.au.

School Car Parks
Thanks to all those parents using the
Tangadee Road and Arizona Parade
car parks. For safety reasons I allo-
cated the car park at the front of the
school on Thundelarra Drive as a
‘Staff Only’ car park. A number of
families cross the car park drive area
at the start and finish of school.
I respectfully ask that parents not
use this car park unless they have a
child with a disability requiring close
parking.

Sami Whitcomb and Jacinta Bourne visited our school on Wednesday
14 October to conduct a basketball clinic with the year 5/6 class. The
children had a lot of fun participating in some high energy basketball
drills out on the courts. Sami and Jacinta then signed team posters for
everyone and answered some questions. They talked about the passion
and commitment required to reach the elite level in their sport. It was
wonderful to have Sami and Jacinta visit us and we thank them and the
Perth Lynx for this opportunity.
