End of term
Star FM Broadcast
Craig and Mandy are coming to school on 9 April to do an outside broadcast under the COLA. It should be a fun
morning – I ‘ve been told that if you like singing or performing or have some good jokes or funny stories to tell
you just might get to be a star on radio.
I know we have some wonderful singers and a number of talented guitar players out there who might like to practise
over the weekend. I’m told we have a lot of funny kids too – woops, I meant kids who have a good sense of humour and
who can tell a great joke. You should be practicing your “Knock Knock” jokes – just make sure everything you
rehearse will be able to go to air please?
Linda is cooking up a storm in the canteen for breakfast and
would appreciate some parent volunteers to feed the hungry hordes! Parents and students are welcome to arrive at school
from 7am when breakfast will be served – everything delicious and reasonably priced. This year we have organised
a coffee van so all the adults can get their morning coffee treat and hot chocolate for the kids.
Please make sure our event is well-attended as there will be
a presentation to the P & C on the morning and it would be great to have some incredibly loud cheering to go with that.
Hope to see you bright and early (and hungry) next Tuesday
morning for breakfast with Craig and Mandy.
Annual School Report (ASR)
You can find the ASR published on our school website. It documents evaluations of a number of important aspects of
your school including school communications, school learning support processes and the implementation of aspects of
literacy best practice. As usual, it also contains information about the school’s organisation, staffing, financial position,
areas for improvement and achievements. I hope you can find the time to look over it. Please email the school with any
questions or feedback about our ASR.
ANZAC Day invitation As ANZAC Day falls during the school holidays this year, and
students may be away on holidays, I want to give initial
advice about the MacMasters Beach Surf Life Saving Club’s 2013 ANZAC ceremony. All students and their families are
invited to attend the Mac’s SLSC ceremony and it would be wonderful to see you resplendent in your school uniform. The
ceremony commences at 5.00pm on the lawn area outside the clubhouse. A special invitation has been extended to our
school leaders to attend and to lay a wreath. Please let Mrs Wardlaw know if you can attend.
End of term
It’s hard to believe we are almost at the end of the term, isn’t it? We have packed lots into term 1 this year. Your
teachers have been very busy preparing for Easter assembly, Fun Run, conferences, 5 Lands Walk and we are soon
thinking about the school performance in term 3.
Even while teachers are organising all these activities, their
minds are still very firmly on improving our literacy results and the introduction of new syllabuses. School staff are using
the first two days of term 2 (29 & 30 April) to engage in professional learning about the new Australian Curriculum,
specifically the English syllabus. This is a terrific extended opportunity for teachers to get stuck into the challenge of
implementing new curriculum.
Mums and dads – make sure you don’t pack your children’s school bags until Wednesday 1 May 1 after the holidays and
make a note on your calendar please.
Have a great week at our great school!

Easter Hat Parade
Last Thursday all of Kindergarten had an Easter Hat Parade in the hall. We invited our families and our Year 6 Buddies who
helped us make our hats.
We sang our favourite Easter songs and did some actions too. We were very nervous because there were lots of people there
watching us.
Then we got to do what we had all been waiting for– Parade our beautiful, colourful Easter hats. We walked around the hall
to a great song showing off our magnificent creations.
We had so much fun!
Thank you to our buddies who helped us and to Mrs Fell who
taught us the songs, and how to parade our lovely hats.

Cyber Awareness Forum
As part of upcoming Youth Week “April 5th- 14th”, our School Liaison Officer and Youth Liaison Officers are going
to be running a “Cyber Awareness Forum” for parents of primary and secondary school students at the Erina Youth
Centre, Friday 5th April 6.30pm-8pm.
The aim of the forum is to supply parents with practical information on “Cyber Bullying” and the steps to take to
protect your children.
This is a great opportunity for parents to gain valuable information on the effects of “Cyber Bullying”, resources
that are available to young people experiencing bullying
and where to seek help.

Last year the display put on by the children of the Central Coast was amazing. The Show committee
