Dear Parents/Caregivers, School Working Bee School Council have be cleaning up the shed today. The shed will be emptied and items separated into 3 piles: Keep and reorganise in the shed space, take to the tip or offer for parents to take home for free! Any items available for free will be placed on the basketball court from 2pm. Parents are invited to look and take home from this time. We will not be holding items. Anything not taken home at the end of the school day will also be disposed of. Year 5/6 Melbourne Discovery School Camp Our Year 5/6 camp was yet again a wonderful success. Our sincere thanks to all of our families for supporting your child(ren) in readi-ness for the camp and to our incredible staff for giving their time, enthusiasm and energy! Our students returned tired but with many, many interesting and funny stories to tell and it’s clear that the camp is a very valuable educational and social activity. 2017 Year 5/6 iPad Program A reminder to our families who have students in Year 5 and Year 6 in 2017 that the iPad Payment Schedule for Student iPads 2017 is due back to school by NEXT Thursday 10th November. The iPad Payment Schedule has a number of options to choose from. It is very important all families understand that we do not wish this program to cause financial hardship. If none of the options are suitable for your family please do not hesitate to
contact myself or Nicole at the school or indicate this on the form before you return it. It is important that we ensure provision for all students to access the program and thus ensure the success of this program. We thank those families who have returned this Payment Schedule already. 2017 Enrolments Planning for 2017 is well underway. Apart from year 6 students, if there are any other students who are not going to be returning to Mount Clear Primary in 2017, please ensure that you notify our office as soon as possible so that we do not count your child/ren in all of our preparations for 2017. For those families that are still to enrol students (for all year levels) we encourage you to collect your enrolment pack from the office. School Tours will be conducted, 16 November and 30 November at 10am. Please register your interest at the office. Hats A reminder that all students do need to be wearing a broad brimmed or bucket hat when going outside during Term 1 and Term 4. Hats provide protection from the harmful rays of the sun, particularly at this time of the year. The school office has a small supply of hats ranging in price from $15 to $20. Students who do not have a hat or forget to bring their hat stay under the shade sails outside the library. Have a wonderful week everyone!

At the Planetarium we saw the show ‘To Space and Back’. There were comfy seats that adjusted really far back, because the show was on the roof. It was like we were actually in space. Tyler W We went to the State Library, which I thought would be like a normal library, but it wasn’t. It had exhibitions, art gallery, sculptures and a reading place. Tyler W We went to the Digital Hub, where we learnt how to make movies, before making our own. My group’s movie was about a girl who tries to escape a floating island. Then we went outside to do some acting with a script. Sienna I loved Parliament, cause I really got involved in the debates. They were debating about abuse to children in one room and road safety in the other room. The State Library was beautiful! The architecture was incredible with many dollars’ worth of gold used to decorate the building.
Charlotte One of my highlights would be the State Library because the building was amazing. In the gallery the portraits and paintings of Melbourne were so detailed. Some of them even looked like they were pictures taken with a camera. When we went into the part where some Year 12’s were studying for their exams, we looked up to see this
amazing glass dome. Just a bit low-er you could see these really old books on shelves, with some books from the early settlement of Melbourne. Eliza Wow! What a camp! I still have sore feet and 10 bruises (from ice-skating), and my body still wakes up at 6:45 am. My brain wakes up at 7:30 am or later. Tai

CAMPS AND EXCURSIONS — Notes and Payments
It is very important that when families receive information about camps, excursions and events organised by the school, that parents/carers take special care to note the due dates for payments and notes to be returned.
Unfortunately we are unable to extend the due date for payment/notes for school activities as this makes planning very difficult for the staff organising the event.
Families who are experiencing financial difficulty are invited to meet with our Business Manager or the Principal to discuss plans for payments. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact Nicole or
Fiona at the office.
LUNCH ORDERS
Stewarts Bakery have requested that correct money be put in the Lunch Order envelopes. If you do not have a price list please request one from the office.
BOOK LISTS Booklists went out last week, don’t forget to get your order in. If you do not have a booklist please contact the office.
