We’d love to hear from you! Every year our students, staff and parents participate in ‘Tell Them From Me’ surveys. The surveys helps us gather useful information to benefit our school and promote positive change and improvement. The parent survey asks parents and carers a range of questions related to the following drivers of student outcomes:
The survey is anonymous and takes around 15 minutes to complete. Parents with more than one child at the school may choose to complete the survey more than once, if they feel that their children’s experiences differ. Parents will not need usernames or passwords to access the survey. You can access the survey at https://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/c6fdy
Please participate in this survey; we would love to hear your thoughts!
Kind regards, Jade Bell

Year 5 Overnight Canberra Excursion In Week 5 of Term 4, students from Year 5 will be venturing to Canberra for an overnight visit to experience a range of wonderful and exciting venues.

th
November. Students will visit Parliament House, Questacon, National Gallery of Australia, Mt Stromlo Observatory, the Australian Institute of Sport and the Australian War Memorial. All these visits tie in to, and help consolidate, what the students have been and will be learning in the classroom this semester.
The cost of the excursion will be approximately $212 per student. This cost will cover transport to, from and around Canberra for the two days, overnight accommodation, dinner on Thursday night, supper, breakfast and lunch on Friday and all entry and workshop fees to the places we will be visiting.
We are arranging a raffle to reduce the cost for each student. If you have any items such as wood or vouchers that you could contribute to the raffle this would be greatly appreciated. Each student will be given raffle tickets to sell. Money raised from the tickets each student sells will come off their individual excursion cost, so students have the opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of the excursion. The selling of tickets is optional.
We are asking that parents pay $80 by Friday 7th
September with the remaining balance paid by the end of Week 2 Term 4, Friday 26
th October.

Some Benefits of Regular School Attendance For Students:
The development of skills and attitudes such as self-discipline, punctuality, and being organised will optimise life choices.
Regular attendance leads to making friends and learning how to maintain relationships over a length of time.
Regular attendance leads to learning social skills necessary to live and work with others.
It’s safer at school than on the street.
The more students attend, the more they will learn and the more they will like school.
How many days of school has your child missed this term?

Flying Start This week during Flying Start we participated in
developmental play then read the story “Where the Wild Things Are”. In the book, Max used his imagination to pretend there was a forest growing in his bedroom, which caused the students to become curious and ask inquisitive questions about how was it possible for a forest to grow. Max wore a crown in the story as he was ‘king of all the wild things’ so we made our own crowns and decorated them with jewels and stickers. Flying Start is on again next Monday
from 9.30 until 11am. We hope to see you there!
Laura Watson builds towers with the foam blocks.
Poppy Snape wears her awesome super girl costume.
Jack Newman and Samuel Saville draw pictures on the
whiteboards.

K-2 Excursion to Canberra Theatre 23/10/18 On Tuesday 23
rd October 2018, students in Kindergarten,
Year 1 and Year 2 will be travelling to Canberra Theatre to
watch the live production of ‘The Gruffalo’. The Gruffalo
is based on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party mad Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
Students will be leaving school at approximately 9:30am and returning to school by 3pm, in time for normal home time
travel arrangements. Children will need to bring a packed recess and lunch in separate plastic bags clearly labelled with their names. Disposable drink containers are a handy idea on this excursion. We will be eating our packed lunch at Commonwealth Park, on the north side of Lake Burley Griffin.
The total cost for this excursion is $50.00 per child. This includes ticket and bus fare. To assist parents in making the payment for this excursion, a payment plan has been set up:

President’s message Thank you to everyone that attended this week's P&C meeting, it is a great way to get a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes at our school.
At the meeting we discussed a way to show all our volunteers throughout the school how we appreciate their time and contributions to our school community. Each time someone volunteers in the school or at a school event their name is recorded either in the sign on book or an event roster. These names will be collected and placed in a barrel. At presentation night, three names will be drawn from the barrel to receive a prize.
There will be a $50 voucher for the uniform shop, one for the canteen and one for general use in the school i.e., excursions, performances.
The more you volunteer the more times your name will be in the barrel, however, you will only be eligible to win one gift voucher. Please don't forget to sign in and we sincerely appreciate your contributions, so do the children.
The Hockey Gala Day at Todkill Park is coming up, Wednesday 26th September; at this stage we don't have any offers of assistance on the day to operate the BBQ/canteen. Please, if you could help let me know. We should only need 3-4 people as the school canteen will be CLOSED that day and people rostered on will instead be asked to attend the Hockey Gala Day.
………………………………………………………………… I am able to help at the Hockey Gala Day. NAME: _____________________________________ CONTACT NUMBER: __________________________ ………………………………………………………………… As we get closer to end of term I am creating the new canteen roster for Term 4. If you are able to help out, that would be wonderful. Please do not feel daunted by the new menu, the system is much the same, main meals are heat and serve and all you need to do is cut up some fruit and salads. It is a great way to get out of the house, socialise and the kids love to see you. Even just one day a term really helps and don't forget to ask extended family if they might be interested. ………………………………………………………………… I, _______________________________, am able to help out in the canteen. □ 1 day a term (Monday Wednesday Friday) please circle. □ 2 days a term (Monday Wednesday Friday) please circle. □ Specific Date ____________________________ □ I can be called on if someone can't make it but would rather not be rostered. CONTACT NUMBER: ______________________________ ………………………………………………………………… Thank you, Kassie Rowe P&C President
