CONGRATULATIONS AND F AREWELL YEAR 6 Last night I attended the Year 6 farewell to congratulate and farewell

our Year 6 students. It was a lovely evening and everyone thoroughly

enjoyed themselves. Congratulations Year 6 and Mrs James on a

fantastic year. I would like to wish all of Year 6 students every success

as they continue their learning journey into high school. Well done and

good luck!

CHRISTMAS CONCERT On Monday, 14

th December we are holding our annual Christmas

Concert at school. Students will perform a number of items and it will be

a terrific opportunity for our parents and friends to join with us in

celebrating another great year. Sausage sandwiches and bacon & egg

rolls will be on sale for dinner for $3 and drinks and ice creams will be

available for purchase from the canteen. Bring your picnic blanket and

join us for a night of fun and carols.

CELEBRATION DAY TUESDAY , 15 TH DECEMBER Our celebration day is fast approaching and we need to finalise numbers for the bus

by Friday of this week. If you haven’t already returned your child’s permission note

and money, please do so as soon as possible. Students are excited to be going to

the movies, having a pizza lunch and water fun afternoon.

LOCHINVAR SCHOOL UNIFORM 2015 It has come to my attention that a number of students have started to wear

bright coloured joggers and inappropriate footwear to school. Our uniform

policy clearly outlines that our school uniform is black footwear. This may be

black leather school shoes or black school joggers. As parents will be looking to purchase new

school shoes during the holiday break, I would remind you that black shoes are the expected

footwear for your child to be considered wearing full school uniform. I appreciate your support in

ensuring that students are dressed every day in full

school uniform as we take great pride in wearing our

uniform at Lochinvar Public School. I have included

some examples of appropriate black footwear.

SCHOOL LEADERS FOR 2016 Congratulations to our newly elected school leaders for 2016. At last week’s Presentation Day

Assembly our new student leadership team for 2016 was announced. Students voted very

carefully to select the students they thought would be the best people for the position.

School Captains: Liam Johnson & Cynthia Gibbs

Vice Captains: Joseph Fletcher & Sasha Lyutenko

Prefects: Logan Williams, Hannah Hazell, Bayden Halson & Niomi Crawley

YEAR 6 RECIPE BOOKS FOR SALE As part of the Year 6 fundraising efforts this year, Year 6 have produced a

recipe book with help from Mrs Clarke. Books are now on sale for $5 and

can be purchased from the office. Don’t miss out! They will make a terrific

Christmas gift.

SEMESTER 2 ACADEMIC REPORTS School reports have been sent home this week. Please check your child’s bag for their report. If

you would like to discuss your child’s report, please contact your child’s class teacher to make a

suitable appointment time.

SCRIPTURE SERVICE WELL ATTENDED We held our final Scripture Service for 2015 last Thursday. All classes had a

role to play in this program and all classes sang or spoke to remind us the

reason for Christmas. We thank Mrs. Slupik and Father Chris for their

continued support of our school and thanks also to the parents that joined us

for this lovely service.
