Principal Report

Footy Day - a reminder that next Wednesday 14th September we have our Footy Day.

Students can dress in their team colours and there will be a parade starting at

11.30am – 12.45pm. While called “Footy Day” we appreciate that our students follow

teams in many sports and so can dress in those colours or uniforms as well. Footy Day

Lunch orders are due to be returned no later than 4pm on Monday 12th September. Late

orders cannot be accepted. Order forms are available from the Office foyer. Thank you

PTA for organising the lunch.

Year 6 Market - Congratulations to our Year 6 students for their fantastic work planning and

running the Year 6 Market last Friday. The market bought a real life experience to their unit

on business and economics as well as enhancing important skills such as working with

teams and the community. Once again thank you parents, family members and staff for

your assistance and support.

Year 5 Camp - Our Year 5’s had a fantastic time at Sovereign Hill this week. The weather

was great and they enjoyed the early settler and mining town activities. Thank you parents

who attended as helpers and staff.

Last Day of Term - a reminder that Friday 16th September is the last day of Term 3 with a

2.30pm dismissal time. Term 4 commences on Monday 3rd

October. We will be having an

end of term assembly that provides us with an opportunity to recognise the great work

completed by students this term and to enjoy some student performances. Assembly starts

at 9.10am on the last Friday of term.

Pupil Free Day - A reminder that our next Pupil Free Day will be on Friday 14th

October.

No students are required to attend on this day. Our Out of Hours School Care Program will

again offer a program for the full day for those families that require childcare.

Lost Property - thank you to the parents who have visited Lost Property recently. We are

happy to reunite our lost property with the owners. If your child has lost an item please visit

Lost Property which is located near the rear doors to the Admin wing.

Kind regards

Despi O’Connor, Classroom Teacher.

Walk to school month starts on the first day back next term. There will be certificates for those who walk even once during the

month of October.

To receive a certificate all you need to do is walk to or from school once! If you live further away or in a tricky location try one of the two

Park and Stride spots and walk the rest of the way (Walara Shops and Mt Martha House). You can walk, ride, skate or scoot during this

time. If you choose to skate, scoot or ride please remember to wear the correct safety equipment.

At school students will be encouraged by their teacher to fill in the class calendar on a daily basis, recording the way they travel to and

from school.

This is a great time to teach your child to walk to school. Find a route and make it a habit!
