Holiday Break

I hope you and your children enjoy the Spring holiday

break. School will resume again on Monday, 10th October

for all students.

Careers through Reading Program

Our Year 5 students also completed their Careers

through Reading program with The University of

Newcastle last Friday. As a part of the completion of this

program, the students were presented with the

university-produced book, HOPE, written by Mr Matt

Lumb. If you look in the back of this book, there is an

acknowledgement to the students of Pelaw Main Public

School and their contributions to the book!

Year 6 Digital Day Out

Year 6 students will be participating in a Digital Day Out

at the University of Newcastle on Thursday, 13th October

(Week 1 next term). Notes were distributed last week,

asking for students to be privately transported. We have

now decided to take a bus to the University, at a cost of

$3 per traveller. Parents are strongly encouraged to

attend this excursion with their child. A separate note

will go home at the beginning of Term 4.

Reminder

Just remember that students are not directly supervised

by school staff at school until 8:45am each day, and the

office opens from 8:30am. Phone calls made to the office

before 8:30am may not be answered.

Excursion

Our Careers Day was so pleasing to the senses on Friday! It was so nice to see so many students dressed up in their career of choice and participating in the rotation of activities throughout the day. It was also pleasing and re-assuring to hear that all of our presenters had very positive comments about the behaviour and positive engagement of the students throughout the day. A wonderful acknowledgement of our beautiful students! Thank you to the staff, particularly Mrs McAllister, for coordinating this Life and Career Skills experience.
