Term 1 - Week 7 Thursday 10 March 2016

Dear Parents and Carers

Term 1 Parent Teacher Interviews - Optional

Parent/Teacher interviews at the end of Term One will be optional, where the interviews can be either teacher or parent

initiated. The standard Parent/Teacher interviews will remain for all students at the end of Term 2. Now is the time to

indicate to your child’s class teacher if you require an interview before the end of this term. Similarly, you may be

contacted by your child’s class teacher to attend an interview to discuss your child’s progress.

From now until the end of the term please make phone, personal or written contact with your child’s teacher to

arrange an interview time convenient to both parties. Do this by:

1. Calling the office on 9587 3717 and giving your details. The office staff will give your information to the teacher

who will reply to you with possible times.

2. Write a note and give it to the teacher or put it in the office collection box. The teacher will reply to you with

possible times. Make sure you include your name, your child’s name and class in the request.

3. Make written contact with the teacher by sending an email requesting an interview by putting Parent/Teacher

Interview Request & Teachers Name in the subject line. Make sure you include your name, your child’s name and

class in the request. Send emails to [email protected]./au

4. Make personal contact with the teacher before or after school.

If your child’s teacher sends you a request for interview he/she will indicate available times. Please respond quickly to

make a time convenient to both of you. I’m sure families and teachers will benefit from sharing information at this time

of year.

K – 2 Pedlars Parade: Tuesday 22 March

Every year children in Years K – 2 participate in a “Pedlars Parade”. Parents are asked to decorate a small tray and fill it with

cakes, toys, toffees etc. which are sold after the parade has finished. The children will be parading in a circle showing off their

colourful trays then the trays are placed on tables for selling. This is a day for parents and friends to come along and join in the

fun.

Students in K-2 will buy goods first then students in Years 3 – 6 will have their turn at buying. Prices will range from 5c to $2 with

most things costing 20c – 50c. The profits from the day enable the school to buy more resources for the classrooms.

When: Tuesday 22 March, 2016

Where: The playground and Hall

Who: Parents, relatives and friends

Time: 11.45am

* The children bring a decorated tray with goodies to sell on the day.

* The children bring money to buy items off other trays.

Thursday 18 August 2011 Term 3 - Week 5 Term 1 - Week 7 Thursday 10 March 2016

* The parents help decorate the trays made from a cardboard box with a ribbon for carrying. See sample trays

kept near the kindergarten classrooms and at the office.

* The parents find, buy or make small articles to fill the trays.

* Please do not send any food items that are made with nuts or that have nuts listed on packaged food items.

* The parents price the articles.

* Trays to be taken to classrooms before school on the day.

* Please put name and class on bottom of tray.

* The children can wear pretty clothes or dress up clothes.

To enable the event to run more smoothly, we are asking for parent volunteers to help with the selling of items behind the

tables. Please leave your name and contact phone number at the school office.

Congratulations

And thank you to all families who supported the P&C Easter Guessing Competition and donated Easter eggs.

Important Reminders

We are reminding parents and carers not to use the children’s toilets. Please ask at the office for directions to adult

facilities.

complete your details: http://school.schoolenews.com.au/carltonps/

School photos next week – please make sure your child is in summer uniforms on the day their photo will be taken.

Tomorrow, Friday 11 March is the last day for photo money – remember to fill out one envelope per child.

P&C News

Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held this week and with regret we had to say our final farewells to our amazing president Marrianne Skinner. She will be greatly missed; however, I am pleased to announce our newly elected P&C Executive Team for 2016:

President: Richard Jones

Vice-Presidents: Eamonn Murray and Garth Sperring

Secretary: Belinda Cahill

Treasurer: Sharon Lin

Executive Committee Members: Sadequl Chowdhury and Nashieta Davids

School Finance Committee Representative: Vacant

Merit Panel Representative: Sharon Lin

My name is Richard Jones and I have taken over the role of President in our P&C for the next year. I am a busy, full-time working dad, with a son in year 1 and a daughter in year 3 and as such will be relying on assistance from our Executive Team, P&C members and the greater school community to ensure that we continue to have our say and serve our school. There will be plenty of opportunities this year to volunteer and get involved regardless of whether you are a member of the P&C or not, so watch this space for upcoming events.

As always, we welcome your feedback and constructive comments at any time. Please contact the P&C by email at: [email protected].

Easter Fundraiser

Thank you to those families who have already returned their sold tickets and also to those who have requested additional books. These are still available from the office. Remember that there will be a prize awarded to the family that sells the most tickets!

All tickets are due back next week by Wednesday, 16 March. Thank you to everyone for the generous Easter chocolate and craft donations made on our Mufti Day this week and to the wonderful parents who gave up their time to collect and sort the donations (Kate M, Marrianne S, Katie J, Melanie S, Ying, Maria D and Lizabeth T) and to those who have helped process tickets and payments (Kate M, Justine S, Kerrie S and Katie J).

Easter Prize Wrapping

We still need more help! This coming Monday, 14 March at 9.15am we will be wrapping Easter Guessing Competition prizes in the Macedonian Language room in Block A. Please email [email protected] or return the slip on the bottom of the Easter note if you are able to assist, or just come along on the morning. All help is appreciated as many hands make light work! If more time is required we will be finishing off the wrapping on Friday 18 March at 9:15am in the basement classroom. Remember to send in any unwanted baskets or flower boxes in good condition to the office so they can be used on this morning. Finally a HUGE THANK YOU to P&C member Kate M who organised and managed this year’s Easter Fundraiser! Richard Jones – P&C President
