further notice, Preschool will now be held in the Mungindi Central

School Hall.

Dear Parents, Carers and Members of the Mungindi Community

Welcome to Week 1, Term 4

Wow, where is the year going? I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable break and the dreaded germs

that plagued us last term have left the town.

As our current HSC students are getting ready to sit their HSC examinations, our year 11 students are now

commencing their HSC course. I wish all our students sitting HSC examinations the very best and I know

you will do yourselves proud.

You may have heard that our Preschool has unfortunately been required to close due to a significant water

leak on the weekend. As you can see by the photo on the front page the damage is quite extensive. As a

result, we have been required to place the preschool in the hall until further notice. Thank you to Miss Bec

Vanke, Mr Peter Prince and Ms Leisa Spackman for all the hard work you have put in getting the room

going again for our ‘littlelest ones’. It is very much appreciated.

As the term begins to heat up can I please ask that you ensure your child has plenty to keep them hydrated

through the day and ensure they have a hat to wear. I would also appreciate the application of sunscreen to

become part of their morning routine where possible as well please. Keeping your child safe is very

important to me and sun safety is just another aspect of that. This will go for the secondary students also.

No hat no play!!!!!!!

There seems to be a number of students who are arriving to school without a school bag and equipment. I

have always expressed quite clearly my expectations regarding our individual responsibilities when it

comes to our roles in educating our children. Please assist us by ensuring your child comes to school with

their school bag containing the appropriate equipment, books, laptop, food, water/drink etc for the day.

Should you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact me at the school on 67532207 to make an

appointment as I will be more than happy to help in any way I can.

Applications for year 7 selective high school placement in 2019 are now open. If you wish for child to

undertake the placement test or you require further information about the application process it is available

on the unit’s website at:

https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/selective-high-schools-and-opportunity-classes/year-7.

Finally, I am taking leave until Monday October 30th as I am to become a grandmother for the first time and

Ms Shelly Riddell will be relieving as Principal.

NSW SCHOOL VACCINATION PROGRAM 2017

School vaccination clinics continue into Terms 3 & 4 2017

WEDNESDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2017.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS MISSED A VACCINE

If your child has missed any vaccinations they will be offered any missed doses at the next clinic at their school.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS NOT RECEIVED ALL HPV VACCINES BEFORE THE END OF 2017?

Any year 7 student with missed doses of HPV vaccine can be caught up in 2018.

ADDITIONALLY:

Any 2017 year 8 student who commenced HPV vaccination while in year 7 and are yet to finish the course of HPV (and who has not received any from their local doctor) can still receive this at the next clinic at their school.

Any year 11 or 12 student who returned a signed consent card for Meningococcal ACWY vaccine and did not receive this in Term 2 (and who has not received it from their local doctor) can still receive this at the next clinic at their school.

Please note:

As of July 2017 any student who has missed school program vaccines or any childhood vaccines can now receive these vaccines from their local doctor. For more information please refer to

www.immunise.health.gov.au and click on

“National immunisation program – expansion”.

Don’t forget a Record of Vaccination is given to each student for each vaccination. Parents/guardians should ensure that this record is kept for future reference and should not assume that their child has been vaccinated if they do not receive this Record of Vaccination.

We begin Term Four with a new focus on 'Taking Ownership'. Our society increasingly seeks to blame others for all that goes wrong in our lives. It is natural to want to blame others, but we need to encourage our future generations to accept responsibility for their actions. Therefore, we will be encouraging students to take ownership over their own life. This means that we will admit our mistakes, worry about our own actions and not the actions of others and be motivated learners ready to make the best choices for our education. In other news, we hope to finalise our gold and platinum rewards over the coming week, so stay tuned for next weeks newsletter ! PBL TEAM
