Spelling Bee this Thursday

Good luck to Robert, Ben,

Riley and Sam who are

representing the school at

the Premier’s Spelling Bee

Challenge this Thursday in

Ballina.

Teams Day: Help needed, please!

Our annual teams day will be held at The

Channon on Friday 21 September. We would

love to have a ‘team manager’ on each of the

teams for K-2. The team manager and teacher

supervises the team in moving to their area for

each of their games at the appropriate times.

We really hope you can help us make this a

smooth and enjoyable day for everyone.

Please see teams over the page and let us

know if you are willing to help.

“Nasty Visitors!” are still circulating in the community

Tummy Bug

There is still a nasty tummy bug going around at the moment. If your child is unwell, please keep

him/her home to avoid the spread of this illness. Please also send in an absence note. Thank you.

Headlice

These critters are also around again. Families are asked to check and treat. Thanks

School Sores/Impetigo

This highly contagious skin infection is going around also. To reduce the spread, appropriate anti-

biotics need to be taken 24 hours before returning to school as well watertight dressings over ex-

posed weeping and crusted sores. Thanks

Half Day Holiday—Lismore Cup. Thursday 20th September 12 noon.

A decision was made by Lismore Council to declare a half day public holiday on Thursday 20

September 2018 for the Lismore Cup. As this has been gazetted by the NSW Minister for Indus-

trial Relations under the Public Holidays Act of 2010, the public holiday applies to all employees

working within the Lismore Local Council Area. Since January 2012, new provisions of the Public

Holidays Act 2010 have applied to Local Public Holidays and schools cannot be excluded from

locally gazetted public holidays for race days. Therefore, all primary and high schools in the Lis-

more town boundary will be non-operational from 12 noon on Thursday, 20 September, 2018.

As the public holiday commences at 12 noon, it is important for all families to make arrangements

to collect their children by no later than 11.30 am on Thursday 20 September 2018.

Public Speaking- School Finals 9:30—11:00 am (selected students)

Well done to all the students! It is so impressive that every child in the school delivered a

formal speech to their classmates. Following the in-class speeches, some students have been

selected to speak at the School Finals this Friday,14th Sept. These speeches will be given in

front of the whole school and three judges.

Stage 2 (Yr3/4) and Stage 3 (Yr 5/6) first and second place getters will then compete at Jiggi in

The Big Scrub Public Speaking Competition. Due to a clash with Teams day, the Jiggi competi-

tion will now be held in Term 4, week 2.

ORDER OF SPEECHES (approximate running times only)

CHILD SAFETY: PLEASE NOTE We do not allow children to wander out the front gate to look for parents

and carers at pick-up time. Children who are being picked up at the end of the school day need to be col-

lected from the COLA. Please also use the designated crossing when crossing the road, it gets very busy

with traffic at home time.
