GRADE 5/6 CAMP

GRADE 3/4 CAMP

KIALLA CENTRAL PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Page 3

Welcome back to our Grade 5 / 6 students who

were on camp last week. They headed down to

Camp Wyuna at Queenscliff with Kialla West.

Despite the weather being unreliable a good time

was had by all. Thank you to Mr Van Reit from

Kialla West for organizing the camp. A special

thank you to Mr Zito & Mrs Opie who went on camp

with our 5 / 6 students. Camps are a valuable and

important part of our school curriculum.

On Monday 14th October, 4 of our students

participated in the District Athletics Carnival:

Ella Kerr

Shot Put - 3rd

800m - 5th

Kasey Ryan

800m - 7th

Molly Kennedy

800m - 3rd

Hurdles - 4th

Mollie Kerr

800m - 5th

These were fantastic achievements by our girls,

considering we do our athletics in Term 1. Ella and

Mollie just missed out on qualifying for their events

with the top 4 in running events and the top 3 for the

other events including hurdles qualifying for the next

level.

Congratulations to Molly Kennedy who has

qualified for the 800m event at the Regional

Athletics Carnival in Albury, this coming Friday.

Good luck Molly! Thank you to the Kerr, Kennedy

and Ryan families for getting the girls to and from

this event.

Next Tuesday 22nd October, is our final

curriculum day for the year. This is the one that

we had to re-schedule from 31st July because our

presenter was sick. Students are not required at

school so please ensure you have arrangements in

place.

Our grade 3 / 4 students go on camp from

Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th October.

Mrs Rieniets and I will be attending Camp

Currumbene with staff and students from Kialla

West. There are still a few students who have not

yet paid for camp - this was due last Friday. Full

payment must be received by Thursday 17th

October. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Last term, Jane Weston

completed a course for Business

Managers at the Bastow Institute. She was required

to undertake a project to improve an element of our

school’s operations relating to her position. As a

result, I am proud to announce that we are

introducing a phone application called Tiqbiz. This

is a school application designed for newsletters,

calendar events , reminders etc. It is for iPhones,

Androids & PC’s. Instructions on how to download

this application is attached to this week’s newsletter.

This is a secure application that families must sign

up to if you would like to access this service.

Congratulations Jane, this application will further

strengthen communication between school and

home.

I would like to also remind parents to access our

website at: www.kiallacentral.ps.vic.edu.au

We will continue to develop these communication

tools to keep our school community informed. Your

feedback is appreciated.

At the start of Term 4, Heather Adderly reached

another milestone at Kialla Central Primary School.

She started her 25th year of service as our Outside

of School Hours Care Coordinator. I’m guessing

that this would put our Outside of School Hours

service as one of the longest running services in our

area. Congratulations Heather we are very lucky

to have you!

Our Active After Schools Community

Program started this week. Monday’s

activity is tennis and Wednesday’s is

circus skills. Students have afternoon tea form

3.15pm to 3.30pm and then participate in the pro-

gram from 3.30pm to 4.30pm. It is great to

see a high level of

interest in this program. Well done!

Thanks to Terry Dohnt for mowing our school

grounds over the weekend. He also does various

maintenance jobs around the school to ensure our

grounds look fantastic. Thanks Tez!

There are still a few odd jobs that need to be done

around our school. If you have a spare hour or two

please let me know.

As we have a Curriculum Day next Tuesday and I

will be on camp, there will not be a newsletter next

week. I apologize for any inconvenience.

A large blue eski (on wheels) is homeless after our

Bunnings BBQ. If this is your eski you can collect it

from the office.

Finally, congratulations to Gwen, Conrad, Callea &

Ella Fepuleai on the safe arrival of their

son / brother Pat born on Thursday 10th October.

Mum and bubs both doing well.
