Art Extension Camp A number of RSPS students attended an Art Extension Camp last week. The focus was ‘sculpture’.

Stage 3 Video Conference During a video conference with the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Stage 3 students learnt about several famous portraits and how the artists portrayed different meanings through colour scheme and symbolism. Students also learnt how to create a self-portrait and how to incorporate symbolism.

Thank You Thank you to the P&C who at this week’s meeting voted to provide $8 228 to the school for musical equipment, STEM resources, garden equipment and additional trestle tables and stand. Orders are underway! Kindergarten 2020 Interviews It has been lovely for the Executive staff to meet some of our 2020 Kindergarten students who have visited RSPS this week for their enrolment interview. Interviews continue for the next few weeks. If you have a child you wish to enrol for next year, please contact the Office urgently so that enrolment procedures can commence and your child doesn’t miss out on vital orientation/transition activities.

Supporting Our School

This month we supported our school with over $23 000 in funding for our teachers’ funding wish list and back field grant. As the name suggests, the teachers’ funding wish list was a list of items our teachers requested to be funded via a staff survey earlier this year. It is a great example of the good we can do as a school community and a great example of how, as a school community we support our school. Bunning’s BBQ Fundraiser This Sunday After raising more than $2 500 last year it is on again this Sunday at Bunnings Eastgardens.

the barbeque. Outdoor Movie Night – Save The Date Another inaugural event this year at our school. Outdoor movie night is booked for the evening of Friday 25 October 2019. Watch this space for coming updates. Product Recall One of the items — the SUPER DAD screwdriver set — sold at the Father’s Day Stall had an unexpected failure. The little magnet that holds the screwdriver heads in place can potentially fall out, making it a hazard around little people and pets. Please return your set to the Office along with contact details for a refund. New Look Website What do you think? Please go to https://www.rainbowstpandc.org.au See you at School.
