This week’s expected RESPONSIBLE behaviours are: • Come ready to learn • Agree on and play by the rules

Book Fair The Book Fair was a great success! Students and parents bought a large variety of beautiful books and we raised money for more resources for the school library. Thanks to all of

the students, parents and community members who supported our annual book fair.

School Tour A number of school tours have been planned this year for parents and carers who are thinking of enrolling their child in Matraville Public School for 2020. These tours are for families who do not yet attend and would like to know more about our school. If you know of any families who may be interested in coming for a tour, please ask them to ring the school office to RSVP. Tours will be held on Thursday 20 June at 9:30am, Friday 23 August at 9:30am and Wednesday 4 September at 2:00pm.

Reading Buddies Students in 3/4S and KM have buddied up to share the love of reading. The Years 3 and 4 students have been helping the Kindergarten children develop their confidence and reading fluency. Friendships have blossomed and it is wonderful to see the collaboration between the different age groups.

School Arrival TimeParents are reminded that teachers begin duty from 8:30am each morning. No student should arrive at school prior to this time as there will be no supervision available. If your child does need to come to school earlier than 8:30am, please enrol them in the YMCA Before & After Care Service.

Talking & Listening Check UpsOn Wednesday 12 June, speech pathologists from the Sydney Children’s Hospital will be attending Matraville Pubic School to complete free Talking & Listening Check-Ups for students. If you would like your child to have a check-up, please see the office or your class teacher for a permission note. All students who have a Talking & Listening Check-Up will receive a summary report for your information and suggestions for any follow up that may be required.

NRMA IncursionThe NRMA Science and Road Safety Show presented the what, where and how of road safety. Students in K-6 were engaged in learning about a range of road safety

strategies to apply in real life situations. Kate, the presenter, used science demonstrations to ensure students understood how the forces they experience whilst in motion can injure them in a crash, and why safety equipment, including seatbelts and bike helmets, are essential to their safety. After the experiments students were explicitly taught how to correctly fit their bike helmets and why the correct fit is essential for their safety.Thank you to the NRMA for such an interesting incursion!
