have paid this fee, please contact the front office to check.

CLEAN UP AVELEY DAYCLEAN UP AVELEY DAY

On Friday, 21 August our year 5/6 students participated in a Clean Up Aveley afternoon where they were separated into groups to collect litter from the surrounding areas. This activity was the initiative of Ben Spargo and his father Brett who were disappointed to see so much rubbish in the

bush around the wetlands and lakes. They were able to obtain a donation from Stockland for $500 which is going to the school camp in term 4. The local member of parliament Mr Frank Alban also contributed the cost of a skip bin for all the rubbish to be collected in and arranged the cost of the bin to be dumped. We wish to thank all those involved for this fantastic community

initiative.

FARM VISITFARM VISIT

On Friday, 21 August the school had a visit from the Royal Agricultural Society who brought out farm animals and put on a performance for students about farming for some of the younger classes. All the children in the school got to get up close and

personal with the animals during lunch and recess.

WAKAKIRRIWAKAKIRRI

Wakakirri results are in! Due to the limited number of schools in 2015 registered on performance nights here in Perth, there is to be no finals night held as per previous years. Two items from all of schools who were in the two performance nights last Wednesday and Thursday have been selected as 'Story of the Year' nominees. Unfortunately we were not one of these two schools. St. Joseph's and Singleton were selected. They don't perform again either, but are in contention for the title of 'National

Story of the Year' to be announced in October.

We won these Performance Awards- storytelling, overall costume design, well rehearsed performance and item concept. We took out the State Award of 'Best social awareness story',

which is fantastic!

The panel judge gave us this feedback "I loved the opening contrast of the Australian and Balinese schools. The plane trip to Bali was a very witty & clever construction and the depiction of Balinese village life beautiful, simple & effective. Overall, a clever, clear and economical theatre story." That is just fantastic! Mrs Spencer and myself are super proud of all of our performers,

all 59 of you were stars!

We look forward to performing our item again at the school Open Night in term 4, so stay tuned. Thanks again to ALL children, parents and staff who have made this magical journey possible.

You're all legends!

The school canteen will begin operating one day per week (Friday) next term for a trial period. Meals will be prepared outside the school by a reputable business and transported to Aveley for lunchtime. An online payment and ordering

will provide healthy options for the children at a fair price.

On Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd September the P&C will be running our annual Father’s Day Stall for the children at the school. Each class will have the opportunity to come and shop with gifts priced at $2, $3 and $5. If you are interested in helping at the stall please contact Vice-President Joanne Needham on 0403 239 255.

A reminder to parents that we have a school banking system in place for teaching children of the rewards for saving money. The Bank is open on Tuesday mornings before school in the under-cover area. All accounts that are opened and all deposits earn a

commission for the P&C.

A reminder to parents that the P&C run the Uniform Shop to not only raise funds for the school but also to make it convenient for you to buy uniforms close to home. The Uniform shop has plenty of stock in all sizes for all seasons. Please use this facility as any
