Principal’s Report

Welcome to Week 2. I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome they have shown

me over the last week. We had a fabulous P&C meeting last night and everyone was very

accommodating.

Newsletters

We would like to try to send home the newsletters on a Monday and this would mean that all

information for the newsletters needs to be in on the Friday before by 10.00am so we can

have this printed and ready for Monday.

Swimming Carnivals

This Thursday is the Forbes School Swimming Carnival in Forbes 9.15 – 2pm. Please make

sure you are there by 9am to have your name marked and be ready for your race. Parent

helpers will be needed for time keeping throughout the day.

Crunch and Sip

The whole school will participate in the Crunch and Sip program every day. We will stop and

eat a piece of crunchy fruit or vegetable and drink water. We ask that all parents send a piece

of fruit or vegetable with your child each day.

This week we have started selling “Zooper Dooper” ice-blocks at lunchtime for 50c. They

will be available every day after the students finish eating lunch.

Success Through Learning

Morning routine

As the students arrive of a morning, they are to place their bags away, grab their hats and

head out to the cola/playground equipment. A teacher will be on duty out there. At 9.00am,

music will play and a morning assembly will happen under the cola. I have moved the

chalkboard out there for students to use and I will look into purchasing some toy cars and a

mat for students to play with.

Homework

Homework and home readers will start next week.

Parent Information Evening

I will be holding a parent information evening on Thursday 27th February starting at 7pm.

P&C will be cooking up some sausages before we have the meeting. This will just be a

chance to hear how we plan to set the classes up and possibly a chance to meet the new 2nd

teacher.

Quandialla/Caragabal Swimming Carnival

On Monday we will be travelling to Quandialla swimming pool to participate in the

swimming carnival. Please return the permission notes and remember travel is by private car.

We will need to be there by 9.45am.
