Dear Parents Welcome back for term 4! We hope that you had a wonderful break and made the most of the beautiful weather in the second week of the holidays. This term we have our major excursions coming up, with three of them being in week 3. If you haven’t as yet finalised your child’s payment for their excursion, we would appreciate it if you could do so as soon as possible as we need to confirm our numbers. If you are having financial difficulty, please come and see us and we can arrange a payment plan. Tomorrow is World Cerebral Palsy Day and we would like the children to wear green to school and make a gold coin donation to the Australian Cerebral Palsy Alliance. We welcome Mrs Rachel Healy to the staff this term, as Mrs Edwards has taken up a position as Relieving Principal at Cabbage Tree Island Public School and we wish her well. Mr Chris Spiers has joined us while Mrs Jill Newberry is on leave and when she returns, she will be known as Mrs Little. Congratulations to Jill and her husband Grieg. Next week our Kinder Orientation program begins on Tuesday 13/10 from 9.30-11.00 and Year 6 will be heading to Maclean High School to listen Susan McLean speak on cyber safety. More information on Susan and her presentations can be found on her website:-

On Wednesday Year 6 are then off to Coffs Harbour as part of the STELLAR program which aims to increase students’ knowledge of higher education and the opportunities that are available to them. On Monday 12th, Fire and Rescue NSW, along with the Rural Fire Service plan to do a burn at the rear of the school grounds, weather permitting. If you see smoke and flames please keep in mind that it is a training exercise and no cause for alarm. Enjoy your week. Debbie Woods Relieving Principal

YPS invited to sing at Surfing The Coldstream

The Surfing the Coldstream music festival has invited the children of Y.P.S. to sing at this year's

festival. Early this term Ryan Enns will be coming to

school to teach the kids for fun and simple songs for them to sing along with students from four

other schools. The festival will take place on Saturday, October

17th at Flinders park above Main Beach in Yamba. Parents are asked to accompany their children to the festival from 3-4:15 pm. Please be near the Main Stage during the Coldstream

Community Showcase so the students are ready to jump up when Ryan calls them to sing. Don't forget to wear your school uniform!

Watch this space for more info.

Congratulations to Paige and Sophie who recently competed in the Premier’s Spelling

Bee. Both girls did extremely well with Sophie winning. This means she is off to Sydney this term to compete in the state finals. We are very proud of Sophie as this is the first time

we have had anyone make it to this level. We wish her all the best.

There were many medals brought home from the Jujitsu Championships that were held at the Gold Coast over

the school holidays. Well done boys!
