Life Education Visit

The Life Education van will be visiting the school during term 1. Notes have been sent home and need to be returned ASAP so that your child can attend. There is no cost to families. School will cover costs for each child, however, they cannot attend without the permission note being returned. Life Education is a government program that teaches children about living healthy lifestyles.

BOLT Program

Building our Library Together – this program is exclusive to Warwick East. The BOLT program aims to build on the amount of books in a child’s home library. Reading is a school priority and we acknowledge the role reading plays in many aspects of our learning and development across all curriculum areas and in daily life. Each child in our school will receive a FREE book with the BOLT logo inside, every term, to build their home library. This term’s books will be distributed mid-term. We encourage all families to find a special place for your child’s home library and share the BOLT books with your children by reading the books to and with them regularly.

Have a great week.

Last year, we were fortunate to launch a program exclusive to our school - BOLT, which stands for Building Our Library Togeth-

er. This program aims to build on the amount of books in a child’s “library” at home. At Warwick East we value reading and

the important role reading plays in many aspects of our learning and development, across all curriculum areas.

This term, through the BOLT program, we are able to gift each student a book to take home and keep. Your child may be able

to read this book by themselves, or you may like to read it to them. The important message here is to foster a love of books

and reading. The BOLT books will have a BOLT label inside the cover, so you can easily identify that this book is for your child

to keep at home.

Previously, we have been fortunate to have been offered discounts from a variety of publishers and donations from local busi-

nesses to fund this program. Once again we are calling on businesses to offer their support, so we are able to continue this

wonderful program throughout the year. So if you know of a business or an individual/family, who would love to give a dona-

tion, no matter how great or small, please contact either Mrs Bruton, Ms Clarke or see the admin staff in the office for more

details. Thank you and we hope your child enjoys their new book for this term!
