Principal’s Report ~ Milly Stone
Welcome Kindergarten Our Kindergarten children started school on Monday and they have settled in so well. What a great start to their schooling.
Invoices for Term 1 These will go home with the children tomorrow. Please read the invoices thoroughly and note when payment is due for activities. If payment is not received by the due date, children will not be able to attend that activity. No exceptions can be made.
Parent Information Night A special invitation will be sent home today indicating session times. This will also be uploaded to the website and is included in this newsletter on page 5.
Leadership Camp Our Captains and Vice Captains are attending a leadership camp this week. It is a great opportunity for them to develop their leadership skills. See you on Friday.
PBEL Positive Behaviour for Engaging Learners Today, an attachment with the newsletter explains PBEL. It is part of our student welfare policy. It explains our reward system and our system when children do not comply with the policy. Please keep this in a handy place for reference throughout the year. Each month the focus for the month will also be included in the newsletter. This month it is the bus area.

String Ensemble 2018 This year we will again be forming a String
Ensemble. The group will be tutored and guided
by Miss Cassandra de Bona (University of
Sydney student and former OC student of
Dural). The session time is Wednesday
afternoons 3:30-4:30pm in the ICT room
starting in week 3 (there is a small term fee
involved). The string ensemble will be playing
at the Acacia concert at the Sydney Opera House
in May this year. Please contact Mrs
Heinrichson if you are interested in your child
being a part of this ensemble. Places are limited.
The Year 6 'Class of 2018' Jacket The Year 6 'Class of 2018' baseball style jacket
with zip front will be available to our Year 6
students as a practical part of their uniform
whilst also being a special memento of all their
friends. The jacket will be printed on the front
and the full size print of all the students’ names
on the back; in a design that the students vote for
as a whole. The cost of the navy blue and sky
baseball jacket with school crest, design and
names is $52.
If you would like to purchase the Year 6 'Class
of 2018' jacket please return the order form and
payment with the Term 1 invoice by Friday
26th February, 2018. No orders can be put in
after this date.
The Year 6 Engraved Brick Facing This year we are getting in early with our brick
facings! $35 entitles your child to have their
name engraved into a brick facing as a lasting
record of their time at Dural PS. The brick
facing will be permanently installed on the wall
of the hall. Check out last year’s brick facings
on the hall wall to see what they will look like.
We anticipate this to be a very formal and
lasting memory of your child’s time at Dural.
You will have ONE opportunity to be involved.
Whilst this is optional it would be terrific if
every Year 6 student could participate by
purchasing an engraved brick face.
The note is in the Term 1 invoice and
permission and money is due by Friday 26th
February, 2018.

A big Welcome to OOSH 2018!
Well another year has started and Dural OOSH has quite a few kindy children starting in the next couple of weeks. To ensure their safety, our friendly educators will pick up your children from their classrooms and show them the way to OOSH. We will be picking up the children for the entire two weeks the kindy children finish school early. When they arrive at OOSH, they will be given afternoon tea before the other children arrive.
Kindy parents, please note that breakfast and afternoon teas are fully catered for by our catering company – Tuckshop, so your children will be well fed after a busy day. Please make sure that your child does not bring food (breakfast or uneaten lunches) to the centre due to other children with allergies.
If you haven’t already booked your child into OOSH and need Before or After School Care, please contact our office on 9653 9331 and someone will be able to help you.
It’s a wrap – Summer Vacation Care was a huge success with the centre having record numbers attending. Here is a snapshot of some great things we did.
CANTEEN The Canteen is back in full swing. We had our first
Kindy customers yesterday - so cute!
We have introduced 2 new lunchtime meals, supplied
by Georgie Baker -
Italian Meatballs (with Penne Pasta) - $4.50
Singapore Noodles (Gluten Free) - $4.00
Give them a try, as they are yummy!
We are still in desperate need for volunteers this
year. If you can help out, please contact us at
[email protected] or leave your contact
details at the school office.
