Week 10 Term 2 2019

Well…… here we are at the end of Term 2 and half way through the year! It has been

another busy term with lots of great learning opportunities for the students.

As many of you know, the girls’ toilet block is currently being treated for termite activity.

The roof is secure at present and we are waiting until the termite activity has ceased and the

roof can be replaced. We are hoping this will happen in the next few weeks.

The school grounds are looking fabulous at the moment. We thank the many parent

volunteers who have been giving up their time to assist with gardening activities. The

children are very much enjoying the spaces they have to play in and there is a lot of

creativity being observed at break times. It is so important that the students have

opportunities to make up games and work together to ensure everyone is enjoying the play

time.

On Wednesday, the students in Years 3-6 (Year 2 students turning 8 years old this year are

invited) will be travelling to Foxglove Oval for the School Athletics Carnival. As usual, we will

combine with Cowan Public School to run the events. The K-2 students will participate in

their Athletics Carnival here at Brooklyn Oval. A great day out for everyone!

We look forward to seeing you this Thursday at the End Of Term Assembly which will

commence at 9.30am. It is always good to celebrate the great learning that goes on in our

school and to be entertained by our very talented students. This term the children will be

performing a dance routine inspired by indigenous traditions as we think about NAIDOC

Week which will follow in the holidays. The School Choir and School Band will also be

performing. .

The Brooklyn Public School Trivia Night is coming up on Saturday 3 August. This is always a

fabulous event and a highlight of the year! More information about the evening can be found

later in the newsletter.

Thank you to all those families who contributed food items to the Anglicare Food Drive. It is

important to know that we are able to help others by sharing what we have and that this has

such a positive outcome for the giver and receiver.

Please make a note of dates for next term. The students return to school for Term 3 on

Tuesday 23 July. Term 3 is shaping up to be another busy term with Education Week

in week 3 and Book Week in week 5. There are many activities planned around these times

that you won’t want to miss!

Get involved in the School Banking program

Brooklyn Public School is excited to offer the Commonwealth Bank School Banking program to all

students.

School Banking is a fun, interactive and engaging way for young Australians to learn about money and

develop good savings habits. Children who deposit money into their Youthsaver account through School

Banking earn Dollarmites tokens, which they can save up and redeem for exciting rewards.

The rewards available during 2019 are:

• Scented Stackable Highlighters

• Snowy Origami Set

• Icicle Slapband Ruler

• Yeti Fluffy Notepad

• Arctic Owl Fluffy Keyring

• Scratch Art Cards

• Water Skimming Bounce Ball

• Polar Pencils & Pencil Toppers

School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. Our school receives a Regular Savers Contribution

of $5 for every 10 deposits processed per student as well as an Annual Contribution which is based on the

number of students who made at least one School Banking deposit in the prior year.

If you think you'd be interested in the School Banking Program
