LIFE EDUCATION – Years K/1/2/3/4 Permission notes and payment are due. The Life Education Van will be visiting Bexhill School on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th November 2013. The programs covered during these sessions address many of the components and objectives within the NSW Personal Development Health and Physical Education curriculum.

ROCK WIZ TRIVIA NIGHT – 70/80’S THEME The P & C had a very successful and entertaining night with lots of talent being exposed! A special thank you must be given to the band, led by Mr Ken & Mrs Christine Freeman. They covered many genres of music which showcased their diversity of talent. Also a big thank you to Julia Sidnell who was a fabulous compare and also kept us well entertained. LUCINDA AWARDS This is a FREE, whole school excursion. Please return the permission note (on page 4), to school as soon as possible. Family and friends are invited to the special matinee presentation of short films produced by students from our local small schools, the theme this year being ’The Journey,’ followed by the ‘Lucinda Awards’ presentation. I am looking forward to viewing 5/6’s contribution as I know they spent many hours honing their skills.

LIBRARY BOOKS As we approach the end of another year, we are asking that all library books be returned to school by the 26th November as we will be carrying out a library stocktake. Attached to the newsletter is a list of the book/s your child has borrowed and is yet to return to school.

NOTES If you have not yet returned the permission notes for Life Education and the Lucinda Awards, you will find a copy of the notes on page 4. Also there is the note for your child’s canteen order for this Monday, due TOMORROW. LOST PROPERTY Our lost property box is overflowing with unnamed clothing. Please come and have a look if your child is missing any clothing.

HEAD LICE Once again we have had notification that head lice are around. It would be appreciated if you could check your child’s hair and treat if necessary.

TISSUES As this is the season for hay fever, colds and allergies, it would be appreciated if each family could donate a box of tissues for the classroom.

Bulletin - Term 4, Week 6

PET CARE Last Friday K/1/2 and Kinder transition students participated in the ‘Responsible Pet Education Program’. They learnt how to respond if they encounter an angry dog, followed by the advisable procedure to meet a dog who is with their owner. Many children were keen to pat ‘Munro’. Children also learnt about the responsibilities of caring for a dog. ‘GIRLS NIGHT IN’ WOMEN’S CANCER AWARENESS FUNDRAISER Once again the ‘Girl’s Night In’ was a most successful and fun evening despite the looming thunderstorms. Thank you to all people who contributed to this event. Through either raffle tickets or donations we raised $415.30. This was a great effort and the money will be forwarded to the Cancer Council. Congratulations girls on a great night!!

Bexhill Public School would like to thank Mr McDonough and Mr Wright for attending our Remembrance Day Assembly. The students should be very proud of the way in which they conducted the Assembly in order to remember those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

TRADITIONAL MASSAGE - Open every day at 4pm. Call Megawati on 66284309 for the best massage ever. Unbelievable but true!!!. Mega is also collecting children’s books to send to Sumatra. FOR SALE – Spiny leaf insects only $7.00 each Lots of people have cats and birds but not many have a spiny leaf insect . They are really easy to look after! To take care of your spiny leaf insect, give them fresh eucalyptus leaves every 2-3 days, which you can leave in a vase of water in their tank or cage. It is best for the insects to have a vertical (rather than horizontal) cage to live in. Put some river sand in a container and they will lay the eggs gently on top. Then you spray them with water every 2-3 days. Females will live 18 months, males 15 months. Females can lay thousands of eggs in their lifetime. Please contact the school office if interested.
