Week 10 Term 3
Wednesday 22 September 2010
PPRRIINNCCIIPPAALL’’SS RREEPPOORRTT A short newsletter this week mainly to
remind our families of the coming events
in Term 4. A
spectacular
Book Week
Parade and
morning tea
were held
for our
guests from
the Uniting
Care Ageing
Day Care
Therapy
Centre and all the Clergate families. We
were delighted to be able to have the
students read to our guests. The students
also had the opportunity to read and
browse the books brought along by the
senior citizens. Thank you to all our
families who provided the delicious
morning tea and assisted with the
organisation of the day. Well done!
Students will return to school in summer
uniform. Please note however, they will be
required to wear their winter uniform on
Tuesday 19 October for school photos.
I would like to take this opportunity to
wish all staff, students, parents and
helpers a safe and restful holiday. We will
see you back on Monday 11 October.
A big
thank
you to Mrs Haigh-Cole for
her effort in organising the day which also
included making bridges in co-operative
groups. See picture below.

Perfection. The first lesson

from Fitness Perfection at 3.05pm.
Transition
All the children looked amazing in their
Book Week character dress! They paraded
their outfits for the school at assembly
and then during the morning. The Year 3-
6 students accompanied a transition
student to the Learning Centre where they
helped them choose an age appropriate
book. They then found a sunny spot in the
garden and read the book together! Our
class book of the day was the
‘Gingerbread Man’. Everyone enjoyed the
story and then they each made a
gingerbread man cookie to bake at home.
Well done to everyone for their hard work
and good manners this term. We look
forward to seeing you all back next term.
Have a fun holiday!
Mrs Cloete and Mrs Cannell.
Little Learners joined in with the Book
Week parade and had a wonderful time
parading around and also spoke
confidently on the microphone! Well done
little ones. Have a safe and fun holiday!
