Newsletter Term 2, Week 9
21st June, 2016
Working Bee
We had a very wet day on Sunday, thank you to
our parents Laura, Deb, Jerome, and Col who
braved the elements. Thanks also go to Basil
Heatherill, our relieving General Assistant for his
awesome job on revitalising our bicentennial sign.
Hopefully all this work will go down well with the
Gardening Competition judges next term!
Netball Gala Day
Well done to Mrs Robinson and our netball team
on their fantastic effort last Wednesday. A more
detailed rundown of the day follows later in this
newsletter.
Mobile Phones at School
A reminder that if students bring mobile phones or
any other electronic devices to school that they
need to be brought to our office in the morning
and collected again in the afternoon. These items
shouldn’t be in students’ pockets or bags
throughout the day.
Student Reports
Student reports will come home today. If you have
any concerns about these please contact your
child’s teacher in the first instance. This can be
done by contacting our school office who will
pass on the message to them.
Kindergarten Ear Lessons
Tomorrow, Kaye Cooper, the Itinerant Support
Teacher for Conductive Hearing Loss employed by
the Department of Education will be visiting our
Kindergarten classes to help students understand
how the ear works and what happens during an
ear infection or glue ear.
Kaye helps the students to self manage their nose
hygiene, promote better ear health and to
recognise when they are not hearing as well as
usual. Her visit also assists teachers in implementing
strategies to help the child understand and cope
in the classroom until they are hearing well again.
Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts
We have a large number of students performing in
the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts over
the next couple of weeks. Students, under the
expertise and guidance of Mrs Beth Brooks and
Sonia Lopez will perform in a variety of choirs and
instrumental categories. We wish them all the best
of luck.

“Students of the Week”
Learning Ladder
Our transition to 2017 Kindergarten program
(Learning Ladder) will begin next term. We already
have a large number of students enrolled and
ready to start this exciting journey with Mrs Shirley
Wells and Elise Kachel (SLSO) next term.
If you know of any children that will be starting
school next year who haven’t yet contacted our
school, please encourage them to do so. We want
all our students to have access to this fabulous
program.
Have a great week!

P&C Blackboard
Our school is a Polling Venue for the elections on
Saturday 2nd July. Our P&C will be holding a
sausage sizzle fundraiser on the day. We will also
have cakes/slices for sale on the day. We would
appreciate donations for our stall, please drop
them into our school on Friday 1st July.
5c Fundraiser - throughout Term 3 our P&C will be
holding a 5c fundraiser. Each classroom will have
a jar which can be filled with 5c coins. Every week
a classroom tally will be displayed. At the end of
the term the class who has raised the most money
will win a prize. So start looking for 5c coins, under
the couch, in the car and bring them in for Term 3.
Thank you

Netball Gala Day
What a wonderful day we had last Wednesday at
the netball knockout gala day. Our girls played
extremely well with each of them holding their
own against older and “taller” players. We made
it into the finals against Kingscliff and after being
one goal up at three quarters time we eventually
lost going down 10-8.
Our girls played 40 minutes of a fast high quality
game and should be very proud of themselves. A
special big thank you must go to Sue O’Connor
who gave up her mornings to help train the team.
Also thank you to Wendy McClymont and Fiona
Simpson for cheering the girls on. Can’t wait until
next year!
