What’s Happening At Rainbow Street? You might recall a couple of weeks ago we were filming a special welcome video for our new families. Check it out on the home page of our school website or at https://vimeo.com/483400613 Thank you to everyone involved!
Running For Rainbow Street Following Student Representative Council suggestions, orders have been placed. We are excitedly awaiting delivery of:
• 4 Subpod worm farms • 6 sets of portable soccer goals • 4 net rings • Garden supplies
Thank you again to all those who supported Running For Rainbow Street and Craig who developed the initiative. School Photos School photos have literally just been delivered! We are aiming to distribute them today. School Plan Review - Reminder The end of 2020 draws to an end our current three-year planning cycle. The school is currently in the process of collecting and analysing data for the new four-year Strategic Improvement Plan. Given the current COVID restrictions we are unable to hold focus group sessions as we have in the past. We definitely do want your input so there is a short survey we are asking all families to complete. The survey can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6DF888W The survey will close at 11pm on Monday 30 November 2020. Please take the time to provide us with your ideas. Latest Kindergarten 2021 Activities A transition morning has been scheduled for Wednesday 2 December 2020. This will be a one hour session from 9:30am to 10:30am to enable our incoming students to get to know the school and the teachers a little better. Final arrangements have been emailed to Kindergarten 2021 families. Please contact the school (PH: 9398

We have the P&C AGM at 6pm on 7 December 2020, the school has kindly confirmed that we can hold the AGM in person at the school, which should make some of the practicalities of the AGM much easier. We are however limited to 30 people, due to COVID measures, so please RVSP via email to [email protected] should you be planning to attend. There is a plan B should we exceed the 30 people limit, but we would need to know numbers. Naturally COVID measures will be in place including social distancing, hand sanitiser and we ask all attendees to wear masks on arrival. Also all visitors must sign the school visitor form in the office including the COVID declaration.
All of the Committee will vacate their positions at the AGM, as per standard practice. However, we already have a number of vacant Committee positions, so if anybody is interested in becoming involved next year, this is the best time to put your hand up.
COVID-19 Whilst NSW and Australia continue to make progress, it is important to note that this virus is still out there, so please remain vigilant and follow the continued advice from our School.
For any members of Rebel Sports, please consider linking your membership to the Rainbow St
Public School account, in store, which doesn’t affect your membership, but gives us credits to spend on sporting goods for the school and students. Please continue to keep safe. Many thanks, Jimmy Hayes President [email protected] https://www.rainbowstpandc.org.au/ Community News Disclaimer: Rainbow Street Public School, as a service to parents, will advertise community events which may be of interest.
