On the 2nd of September we celebrated the fantastic work of our SSOs with a special lunch. SSOs (School Services Offi cers) manage front offi ces, school fi nances, ICT and libraries. They provide support to students and families, classroom support and are a key part of the Public Education System. We would like to say a big thank you to Belinda, Dianne, Jackie, Jacky, Jane, Jodee, John, Julie G, Julie P, Julie R, Karen, Linda, Lisa, Paul, Shanna and Sharyn.

Last night, I had the privilege of seeing our school choir perform at the Festival Theatre as part of the Festival of Music. Twenty six of our years 5-7 students sang beautifully in front of the large audience. I particularly enjoyed this year’s showcase songs on Sustainability. Well done to our students and choir teachers Lisa Williamson and Amy Bigg.

Our annual Family Fun Night will be held on Thursday 24th November. Once again, all classes will set up their own stalls. Information about the class stalls and the night will be sent out early next term. We will also be offering sites to members of the community so please see the front offi ce staff if you would like to have your own stall.

We will be having our Pupil Free Day on Friday 25th November with a focus on analysis of student learning data.

As this is the last newsletter before the holidays, I would like to wish all of our students a safe and happy holiday.

Thank you,

Lynette Simons - Acting Principal

CorrectionIn the last newsletter we congratulated Josh R for winning the State Title in Quad Racing – 125 class, this was not correct. Josh won the 50cc Demo class title and his brother Bailey won the Junior ATV 90-125cc State Title.

We apologise for the error and congratulate both boys on this great achievement.

Bailey is pictured with his trophy.

Mrs Conroy’s Show BagsAs part of our Spelling Contract we designed and constructed show bags from a fl at net using our Ferris wheel guide. It was quite tricky to fold and glue the pieces together.

Spare ClothesThe school has a small supply of spare clothes for students to use when accidents occur. Families are asked to wash and return borrowed items as soon as possible to enable other students to use them as required. If you are able to assist with donations of additional underwear in small sizes or long pants and t-shirts in all sizes, please contact the front offi ce – all donations will be gratefully accepted.

Book Week 2016Thank you to everyone for helping us to celebrate Book Week. We had a busy time in the library, transforming it into the various areas around Australia. Fish swam through the picture books, a waterfall fl owed through the rainforest in non-fi ction, a city grew around the circulation bench and native animals appeared all around the library, and that was just part of the display! During this time we were able to organise a visit from Phil Cummings, a great children’s author, who inspired our students in the writing process, sharing how he comes up with the ideas for his stories and how they evolve into a published book. Book Week ended with a dress-up parade in the gym, where we were once again amazed by the brilliant costumes that students and families created. It was a fun way to end our celebrations. Thank you all again for the wonderful support during Book Week.

Sports Voucher ProgramWhat is the Sports Vouchers program?The Sports Vouchers program is a Government of South Australia initiative administered by the Offi ce for Recreation and Sport. The program provides an opportunity for primary school aged children from Reception to Year 7 to receive up to a $50 discount on sports membership/registration fees. The purpose is to increase the number of children playing organised sport by reducing cost as a barrier to participate in sport.

Who is eligible for the program?All South Australian primary school aged children, meaning if the child is attending or is eligible to attend primary school. Remember it is one voucher for every primary school aged child per calendar year. To fi nd your nearest provider please use the ‘Find a Club’ tool.

How does the program work?There are currently two methods of claiming a voucher. The method depends on the providers system. Some sports and providers have online registrations, claiming the voucher has been integrated into their systems.

If the provider does not have the voucher integrated into their online registrations, you’ll need to download the voucher. Once completed, take the voucher to an approved provider to receive a discount on the fees when you register at the provider.

Providers access the secure Voucher Portal to redeem vouchers and receive reimbursement.
