Principal’s Message CONGRATULATIONS It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce that Mrs North has been offered and accepted the substantive Assistant Principal’s position through merit selection. We know that she will do an outstanding job and her wonderful skills and knowledge will continue to enhance our school.

APPRECIATION MORNING TEA We are holding an appreciation morning tea to thank parents who have supported us throughout the year. Whether you have volunteered in the classroom, at events, carnivals, or uniform shop, just to name a few. The staff would like to thank you. We hope to see as many parents and carers as possible. Wednesday 27 November in the staffroom at 11.00am. COLOUR RUN Spectacular! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY The children had an incredible day on Monday 28 October during our Colour Run. It was a day of fun, excitement and success. I am once again extremely proud of the wonderful behaviour and participation of our students. The smiles on student faces, their enthusiasm and positive attitude all contributed to a very successful event. Huge thanks to Mr Royal and Ms Grayson for their organisation. Thank you to all the staff who supported the set up of the day and took part in the events. Thank you to the P&C for again supporting the students and providing cool drinks on the day. It was also great to see all the parents who were able to attend and thank you to all the families who donated and supported the school financially. The day was a great success. So far we have raised $15 302.40. Please bring in any last minute donations ASAP.

The money raised will go towards purchasing more technology equipment to support lessons in coding and the new science and technology syllabus SCHOOL WORKS

During Term 4 there will be a scope of work completed by the Department of Education to replace the roofing, gutters, fascia and downpipes on a number of classroom blocks. During this time classes will be relocated to different areas to ensure student safety. Parents will be informed when this affects their child’s classroom block.

LEAVING HOLSWORTHY

Once again we would like to request that anyone who knows that their children will be leaving Holsworthy Public School at the end of the year, notify either myself or the office in writing as soon as possible please. This will enable us to work out teachers and classes for 2020. It is a very difficult job and we would greatly appreciate your help.

THANK YOU TO OUR P&C

On behalf of all the students and staff of Holsworthy PS, I would like to thank our P&C and school community for their generosity in donating $5000.00 towards refurbishing our school library and for all the hard work before the night and on the night of our school disco. All students who attended looked like they were having a terrific time. It is great to know that funds raised by the many HPS P&C activities go right back to our students in the classroom to further enhance their learning experiences. Please continue to show your support of the P&C by supporting their events and attending meetings. SELECTIVE HIGH SCHOOL IN 2021-YEAR 5 STUDENTS

Year 5 students are reminded that all applications for Selective High School Year 7 in 2021 must be made online and applications close on Monday 11 November 2019. Please see Mrs North if you have any questions.

Student Safety Thank you to all parents who are using the Kiss and Drop zone on Huon Crescent and NOT driving into our staff car park. Please help keep our students safe by obeying road traffic requirements and not parking in no-stopping areas. Tammy Deiri

REMEMBRANCE DAY Holsworthy Public School would like to extend an invitation to our school community to attend our Remembrance Day Service. It will be held on Monday 11 November at 10:15am. We hope you can join us under the cola as we remember. Lest we forget.

SPORTS AND EXTRA CURRICULAR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION The sports and extracurricular photography session will be held on Thursday 7 November 2018. If your child has participated in PSSA or attended a Zone sports carnival, their photo will be taken with their team. Additionally, photos will be taken if your child has participated in the junior or senior dance ensembles, Tournament of Minds teams, debating teams, drama ensemble or Indigenous choir.

Students in a sports team will be required to change into a school sport jersey for their photo. These children are asked to label their school shirt and have a labelled plastic bag to place their shirt in while their photo is being taken to avoid their uniform going missing.

Parents will be notified through the Skoolbag app, Facebook page and newsletter when the display photos arrive at school. The photos will be displayed in the office and they will be available to order after this day

KINDERGARTEN TRANSITION

Thank you to all the 2020 Kindergarten parents and new students for participating in our Transition to School program. The program has been a huge success! We look forward to seeing you all again after the summer break in your ‘big school’ uniform. Parents will be sent a letter later in the year to confirm the start date and time for their child.

COLOUR RUN-MAJOR SCHOOL FUNDRAISER

Last Monday, we held the Colour Run. We couldn’t have chosen a better day! Students completed a wide range of obstacles on our back oval and enjoyed having coloured powder thrown at them. All students displayed exceptional behaviour, cooperation and sportsmanship, which helped make the event a big hit!

A big thank you to all staff for your assistance, the P&C for contributing their time and resources and Mr Felix for providing us with equipment for the obstacles. Your support and effort are truly appreciated.

Thank you to all students who have returned their Sponsorship Forms and for the money raised so far. We have raised $15302.40. If you are yet to hand in your sponsorship form, please ensure you return it to your classroom teacher as soon as possible.

SSW REGIONAL WOOLWORTHS BLAST CRICKET CUP

On Thursday 31 October, two senior teams consisting of eighteen students travelled to Grahame Thomas Oval, Bankstown to compete in the Sydney South West Regional Woolworths Blast Cricket Cup. It was an excellent day of cricket, with students from many schools around the region taking part in the highly competitive event. Holsworthy Public School participated excellently throughout the day, with one team placing 4th overall and the other placing 8th. Our school was also very close to winning a catching competition held on the day, placing third overall. Every student is to be commended for displaying great sportsmanship, a positive attitude and competing to the best of their ability.
