Dear Parents and Carers,

A big thank you to all those parents, grandparents and carers who came along to our Learning Journey last Monday to share and support your child’s learning. It is a wonderful opportunity to show your child how much you value what they do at school and to take the time to speak with staff.

I was very pleased to receive many positive comments regarding the upgrading of the school environment – the mural, breezeway painting and potted plants have all been very effective in lifting the atmosphere of the school. I am hoping that the new Basketball court and junior games will be completed for the beginning of 2017.

Planning for 2017 is well underway with teachers and classrooms remaining similar to this year. If you know anyone who has not as yet enrolled their Kindergarten child please let them know that the school is still taking enrolments.

Thank you to all those parents who completed our survey and handed it in. If anyone still has a survey please hand it in at the front office by Thursday. Thank you.

Thank you to Mrs Fowler who is now running the Triple P parenting course at our off site classroom for all those interested. If you would like to attend please contact the school or Mrs Fowler in the kindergarten.

I would like to operate other adult/parent activities at our offsite room and if you have any suggestions please contact me at the school.

Have a great week. Best Wishes, Ann Webster, Principal

These students will require goggles, towel and bathers and the entry cost is $2.60 per student. Students do not attend swimming on School Development Day (Monday 28 November). Injury Free Day, Friday 28 October Injury Free Day is a national safety awareness campaign organised by the KIDS foundation. Every day in Australia, 5000 children are injured and 100 are hospitalised as the result of accidents. Safety at East Narrogin is our highest priority and our involvement in Injury free Day will help all of our students to focus on injury prevention in our own local community, as well as reminding us that safety is an important national issue. On Injury Free Day all students were encouraged to dress up in safety gear and make a gold coin donation. We raised $116.00.

Kind Regards, Joanna Hayes, Deputy Principal

Breakfast ideas – get kids ready for learning

Try some of these breakfast ideas to ensure your kids get off to a good start: Wholegrain fruit bread with ricotta cheese Porridge with milk and sultanas, berries or

banana mixed through Smoothies with milk, yoghurt, soft fruit and oats -

add spinach for a green smoothie Wholegrain English muffin, topped with cheese

and tomato Yoghurt topped with oats and fruit Baked beans with wholegrain toast and a piece

of fruit. Boiled eggs with toast soldiers. Poached or scrambled eggs with toast and a

glass of milk. Toast with avocado, tomato and a glass of milk. Wholegrain toast topped with sliced banana, and

a small yoghurt tub.

Try to ensure your child has breakfast – it really is the most important meal of their day. The long lasting energy and nutrients helps them to learn and play at school.

Experience a new culture, make new friends and Learn a new language at home

In January 2017 students from over 25 countries around the world, will be arriving in Australia to study at local high schools for 3 – 10 months.

Opportunities exist for families to act as a host family, in a volunteer capacity. Hosting can be on a temporary, short or long term basis. Host families help provide international students with the chance to study and experience life in Australia. This is a great way to learn about another country and culture, establish a lifelong link to a family in another country and contribute to international goodwill.

If your family can offer a friendly, supportive and caring home environment, contact us today.
