Tighes Hill Public School Newsletter No. 4

Principal’s Report

Congratulations to all our children who are working so hard for all

their teachers throughout all the changes each day. I am so very

proud of the way that the children are working and their focus on

quality, respect and responsibility. Well done, everyone!

A number of children have been absent due to illness so far this

term, please make sure that a note is sent to the teacher, with an

explanation for absence, when your child returns. Alternatively

you can either:

• Complete an absent form using our school app; or

• Respond to the SMS alert with the reason for absence (this will rule out the requirement to send a note or app notification).

Sporting Superstars!

Well done to all of our amazingly sporty students who represent

our school so well and with great sportsmanship in a range of

local and external events. A huge congratulations to these

incredible students for excelling in their chosen field. Fantastic

Principal’s Report

Electronic Media Policy and Contract

Most parents have returned the signed contract demonstrating

their and their children’s understanding with the use of school

media equipment, mobile phone and electronic games. I

appreciate your support in this matter; unfortunately a few chil-

dren have taken to bringing mobile phones, iPods and other

games to school without leaving them in the front office at the

beginning of the day. I remind those students failing to hand in

their electronic equipment will result in it being confiscated and

collected by a parent.

Resource Packs

Most parents have already purchased their child’s book pack,

many have opted for a payment plan. Thank you for assisting

your child and teacher in program delivery. If you still haven’t

purchased your child’s book pack or may have forgotten to send

the money to school we need your assistance in finalising this

process as soon as possible so that programs can go ahead.

Come and see me if you need help with the cost.

Band

The school concert band program has begun and it is delightful

to see so many smiling and excited students. It’s time to finalise

band fees so that Mr Isaacs can be paid. Thank you Miss

Donadson for your time and efforts organizing this great

opportunity for our students! Children (Years 3-6) can still join the

band at any time throughout the year.

Maths Camp

Congratulations to our super mathematicians: Hamish, Coco,

Henry, Kynan, Julian and Bobby! Last weekend they enjoyed a

maths camp at Myuna Bay thanks to their outstanding

achievement of High Distinctions in the 2018 Newcastle

Permanent Maths competition. Well done, everyone!
