Guten Tag liebe Eltern, I hope you’ve had a good start to Term 2! This is mainly a little reminder for our upper school students to please practise their German vocabulary! I have made a Deutsche Wort Wand to help my students to memorise the words also on days where I am not at school teaching German. That way the students can have a look at the German Word Wall to study the words or short phrase of the week. Six students are tested on those words every week to ensure vocab retention. The Word Wall is growing every week adding the new vocab. It would be wonderful if you could practise the German vocab with your children and you can benefit yourself learning more German.

Term 2 is upon us and it will be an extremely busy term for the fundraising committee. Our activities include:-

Athletics Day Food Stall – Friday 10th May

Election Day Sausage Sizzle & Bake Stall – Saturday 18th May

Kalbar SS Inaugural Trail Ride – Sunday 9th June

NRL Fassifern Schools Gala Day Catering – Friday 28th June We need lots of help for these activities to go ahead. Organisation is always taken care of, we just need people power on the day. Please volunteer 1 or 2 hours of your time to help make it easier on everyone. You’ll find it enjoyable and fulfilling. Volunteer request forms for each activity will be sent out listing times and jobs required. Please fill them out and return them to the school office. As mentioned above, Friday, 10th May is Athletics Day. The P&C will again be running the food stall on the school oval. Volunteer request forms have been sent home. We really need your help so please fill out the form and return it to the office.

The Federal Election isn’t far away. We will be running a sausage sizzle and bake stall for the day. Donations of baked items will be requested and much appreciated. A raffle will also be run on the day. Before Easter, we ran a sausage sizzle at Bunnings Warehouse West Ipswich. This was a huge success, from which we raised $1800, exceeding our expectations. A massive thank you goes to Arthur Clives Bakery, ANTS Fruit Mar-ket and The Butcher Co., who supported us by donating or reducing the cost of their items so that we could have greater success. These business constantly support the P&C, please show them our thanks by supporting them and shopping locally. Thank you also to the fantastic band of volunteers who gave up their Saturday to help:- Dim-ity, Karen, Kelli, Cassie, Nicole, Lilli, Kate, Mackenzie, Peter, Donna, Robyn, Tina, Alecia, Bella and Gayle. Don’t forget our Inaugural Trail Ride on Sunday 9th June. It is going to be a fantastic day. Come and help, come and ride, come and have a great time. Woolworths Earn and Learn has started, a box will be in the office for collection of your stickers. Thank you for supporting Kalbar State School.

Kalbar State School is holding a major fundraising event this year. We are very excited to be organising a Dirt Bike Trail Ride on 9th June 2019. This trail ride is part of the Dalby Moto Series and we are anticipating 500-1000 riders. As you can imagine this requires a lot of volunteer support. On the day of the ride we will need help with sign on, catering, carpark attendants, rider marshalling and end of day pack up. Carpark opens at 7am and the tracks are open from 8:30am – 3pm. For this to be a successful event we need parent support on the day. Can you help, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, all day? If you have any questions or would like to volunteer your time please contact Christine Stephan on 0409 578 706 or Cassandra Christensen on 0488 638 181 or email kalbartrailride@gmail.com.

Athletics Our school athletics carnival will, once again, be run over one and a half days this year and our anticipated program is outlined below. As always, please use this timeline as a guide only and ensure that you arrive with plenty of time to see your child compete. Whilst we will endeavour to stick to the program, we may well find ourselves running ahead of (or behind) time. Please also note that not all age groups will be running heats on our half day if the numbers do not necessitate an elimination heat. In the upper school, students turning 9 yrs old this year are competing, not only for house pride, but also for the chance to represent our school at districts in the 80m sprint and relays, whilst students 10, 11, 12 and 13 years are vying for a spot in the 100m, 200m, 800m, Shot Put, Discus, High Jump, Long Jump and Relay events at district level. Please remember that selection is subject to qualifying heights, distances and times. A canteen will be available on Friday 10th of May for your convenience. Our school athletics carnival provides a fantastic opportunity for ALL of our students to compete and ‘have a go’ in a supportive, encouraging environment and we look forward to seeing more of that courageous Kalbar spirit and sportsmanship on the day. Wear your house colours and scrub up on those war cries! See you on the oval!
