Dear Parents, Carers and Families
Colour Run
We are running our Colour Run this term on Thursday 5th September, to raise money to help toward the cost of the bus to camp and to purchase musical instruments for our new music program.
Each student will receive a sponsorship form which contains information on how to raise money, prizes and details of creating an online profile. The online profile is used so that parents and students can use their digital contacts to help them raise money. Parents have to register their child before they are able to create a profile. Once a profile page is created it can be shared on social media or by email. This allows students to ask family and friends that they may not see very often to help them raise money. Donations are made using credit cards so no cash is involved. Donations are deposited into the school fundraising account.
There are great prizes to be earnt by students for raising money!

After the groups there will be a Book Week Character Parade where students will parade in the costumes they have worn to school. Assembly will be incorporated into the parade at 11.00am.
We will finish off with lunch. Parents are welcome to stay and have lunch with their children.
There will also be books for sale in the Library at the Book Fair!

Lansdowne Little Learners 2019
We will be commencing our Kindergarten transition program, Lansdowne Little Learners, for students starting Kindergarten in 2020 this week.
Our Lansdowne Little Learners will get together every second Thursday this term and every Thursday in Term 4.
This transition program is very successful ensuring students feel confident in the school environment before beginning school next year. They become familiar with the classroom, playgrounds, students and teachers. Students will learn classroom routines and join in lessons with our current Kindergarten students.
Each student will be matched with a buddy who will help them throughout each session. Their buddy will establish a friendship with them and will be available to help them in their first few weeks of school next year.
The dates for each session are listed on the back of this letter. Attendance at each session is not compulsory; however, we recommend that they attend as many sessions as possible.
Parents are welcome to stay with their child for the first 2 or 3 sessions if needed. After that they should be confident to stay on their own as it gives us the opportunity to observe how they separate from their parents/carers.
If you have any questions about enrolling your child for next year please contact the school on 65567147. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Lansdowne School P & C News
The next P & C meeting will be held on Friday the 23rd August in the school library. The meeting will commence at 2.00pm. Everyone is most welcome to come along and join in. Our P & C is very important to this school. We raise money for various programs which benefit the students and staff. Not only do we run a uniform shop and our canteen there are all the other events like the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stalls and the Movie Premier. We also have a Christmas raffle at the end of the year.
We have our Father’s Day stall coming up on Thursday the 29th September. This will be held at the school usually from around 9.30am. We will be looking for some helpers to wrap items for the children. Also, donations of items for the stall costing anything from between $1.00 and $6.00 would be appreciated.
Canteen news
Single serve Cheese Pizza’s will be on sale from next week. Toppings can be chosen from Pineapple, Ham, Tomato. Cost is $2.50 just for cheese and .30cents each for the extra fillings.
We have asked before but one more try. There are only two of us in the canteen and we really would like at least one more helper in the canteen each Monday & Friday. If we cannot get some helpers to come along, then there are going to be some days where we may have to close the canteen.
If you are interested in helping come along on a Monday and/or Friday and see what happens. It is not hard work and you get to know the children and staff better.
