Awards Children who have displayed PEACE during the past 4 weeks, received a PEACE award today. These awards are worth 5 points. They, along with daily PEACE points, Merit Certificates and Achievement Certificates, go towards our Bronze (15 points), Silver (30 points) and Gold Levels (60 points). If you wish your child to receive a Silver or Gold Award at the Week 9 assembly, the awards must be presented to the office no later than Friday afternoon this week. Children who are on Gold Level at the end of Week 9, will be invited to lunch with Mr Smith in Week 10. He is busily preparing the menu.

The Tell Them From Me Parent Survey This term, our school, like many other public schools in the state, will participate in a Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me Parent Feedback Survey. The survey measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and other student outcomes. It is a great opportunity for you to provide us with feedback on our school. Capturing the voices of our community will help improve how we do things at our school. Please follow this link to complete the survey: http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/62yxt We will also have our technology room open on the Obstacool Day for parents and carers to complete the survey. The survey is confidential. It is conducted online and will typically take around 10 minutes to complete.

Kinder enrolments for 2020 The office are continuing to take Kindergarten enrolments for children starting school in 2020. Our First Steps Transition program will commence early in Term 4. This program assists in preparing children for their first year at school. If you, or someone you know, have a child ready to start school 2020 please contact the office to add them to our growing list.

Stage 2 Excursion A note will be sent home today outlining our Stage 2 Excursion. The note will be due back on Thursday 19 September.

Trent Barrett Shield This Friday we will be participating in the Trent Barrett Shield at Alexandra Park from 9.30 am to 2.30pm. There will be a canteen available throughout the day. All parents/carers are welcome to come and cheer on our Rugby League and Rugby League Tag teams.

Term 4 Sport – Year 3 to 6 A note will be coming out this week for PSSA and school sports for next Term. Once again it extremely important that the appropriate section is returned on time.
