Scholastic Book Fair Thank you to students/parents who purchased from our Book Fair over the last 2 weeks. The school was able to purchase books for the library from the commission made. Also a big thank you to Mrs Lacey and Mrs Wood for running and setting up the Fair.

Remembrance Day On Saturday, our captains were invited to take part in the town’s Remembrance Day service held at the Cenotaph. Elie and Henry did a fantastic job reading the poem ‘In Flander’s Field’, while Tanaiya and Harrison were involved with the flag raising. This morning the whole school participated in our own Remembrance Day with a small service held under the COLA.

Kinder Orientation Our Kindergarten Orientation Program will continue this Wednesday 15th November 2017 and will run from 12pm to 3:15pm. Children will need to bring along some food for recess, a drink and a hat.

Star of the Week

Ash – 3/4M Ash is Star of the Week because she puts

tremendous positive effort into everything she does at school. She offers to help people all the time. She is fair as well as competitive in all sports activities. Ash’s determination to

succeed is a good example to all around her. Well done Ash!

2018-2021 School Plan Over the next term the school will be looking at planning for the next 3 years, to begin this process we are seeking the opinions of the parents and carers of our students. In the coming weeks, we will be making contact to ask for your feedback. We are calling this ‘2 stars and a Wish’, which in other words means 2 things we are doing well, and 1 thing you would like to see changed and/or added. This is the first step we are taking to improve the outcomes for all our students and the future of our school.

Intensive Swimming Program All students received a note last week about our Intensive Swimming Program, which will take place at the Darlington Point Pool.
