MAKING CHRISTMAS CARDS

On Monday 3/4H, 3/4D, 2P and 1D went to the library for a Christmas Card class. We

made a Santa box and a Christmas card saying (Noel). Mrs Davis, Mrs Morrison, Mrs

Benten and Mrs Koutlis assisted us in making these fantastic gifts. They gave us all two

candy canes and we had loads of fun. We all hope they can come again next year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. By Josiah and Connor from 3/4D

This will be the last Tallong for 2014 as the end of the school year is fast approaching. It has been a very successful year for

Lindsay Park, there have been many successes across the academic, social and sporting fields and I must congratulate our stu-

dents for their endeavours and for being such excellent students. To our parents, in particular those who have assisted at the

school in whatever capacity we value your contribution greatly. Lindsay Park has benefited enormously from the work of the

P&C, Auxiliary and Canteen Committees. The school would not be the success it is without their highly valued input and fi-

nally to the staff who have given so much to ensure that our students have had a rich, rewarding 2014, I thank you all so very

much.

Over the next few weeks there will be much happening at school and we will endeavour to keep you up to date via notes, the

website and the app please check regularly with your child. A calendar of events is included in this edition of the Tallong. If

there are any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

Our major assembly of the year will be held on Monday 15th December commencing at 9.15 am. Invitations to the families of

our award recipients will be issued shortly and we are looking forward to the performances of our students which will be a

highlight of the assembly.

Currently one of the pedestrian gates on Thames Street is closed and will remain so until the maintenance work on the trees in

that area is undertaken. The work should be completed within the week and than the fence will removed.

The last day of term for the students is Wednesday 17th December, the staff will be at school until Friday 19th December. In

2015 the staff will return to school on Tuesday 27th January, students from Year One to Six will commence on Wednesday

28th January. Our Kindergarten students will commence on Monday 2nd February following the completion of their Best Start

Assessments. The parents of our 2015 Kindergarten students will be issued a letter shortly indicating the date and time of the

Best Start Assessment for their child. Please contact the School Administration Office if you are not able to make the appoint-

ment time so that it can be rescheduled. It is most important that your child participates in the Best Start Assessment process.

In closing can I once again thank you for helping make this an outstanding year for Lindsay Park and I wish all of you a

peaceful and relaxing break over the Christmas period.

Robert Cusack

Principal
