Principal’s Message:

Broken Bay Excursion Firstly I would like to congratulate all the students that attended our Broken Bay camp, from crowded trains to the Sport and Recreation Camp, we were commended for our outstanding behaviour! Well done! The students made the most of every activity and had so much fun with their friends from Capertee. Students learnt a lot about themselves and team work, through completing a variety of activities including, initiatives, marine walk, archery, orienteering, ropes course, fishing, swimming and beach games and last but not least, damper cooking. Whilst away students were given countless opportunities to demonstrate independence and problem solving skills. For a more detailed recount of our camp be sure to read Tasmyn’s version attached to the newsletter, with all other s t u d e n ts re c ou n t s b e i n g published online later this week.

Transition Transition will be held on Wednesday every week until the end of term, please feel free to pass on this information to anyone who may be interested in enrolling their child next year. I am more than happy to

meet with anyone who has any queries. Galloping Gumnuts The Galloping Gumnuts again next Friday 5th November from 9.30am and we hope to see all our new mums, dads, aunties, grandparents and

of course the children who have been supporting this program. Have a good week!!!!

Special Canteen Thank you to Kirsty and Tracy for this week’s Special Canteen where the students were treated with a variety of pasties and then finished with a delicious meringue with fruit salad and cream. The special canteen roster is as follows: (if you have any problems with the dates, please let me know).

Broken Bay Parent Costings Now that the Broken Bay excursion is over, we will be paying the final invoice for this excursion on behalf of all students and teachers who attended. Cathy has provided all costings to Capertee Public School for their share of the costs and also for our parents in order to pay the entire amount owing to NSW Sport and Recreation. As all parents pre-paid a $40.00 deposit, this amount is taken from the final balance owed by you. The total owed by Hampton Public School was $880.89 and with great thanks to our P&C, they have subsidised half of this cost. This leaves a total of $440.45 (rounded up) divided by and payable by all students, making the cost of each student who attended an individual total of $88.10 (rounded up) - less the $40.00 already paid leaves a final total of $48.10 due and owing, which I think you will agree is a very reasonable cost for this excursion. As the school’s end of year rollover is at the end of November, it would be greatly appreciated if all fees, and any other outstanding payments owed by families, could be paid by no later than 21st November. These can of course be paid by cash, cheque or P.O.P. Should you require any details of outstanding fees/payments due to the School, please do not hesitate to contact Cathy at your earliest convenience.
