I would like to extend a warm welcome back to our 254 students
currently enrolled, and their families. I hope the many bleak
afternoons over the holiday break afforded some down time to
recharge the batteries and prepare for the term ahead. We have
another busy term planned, so please take a few minutes each week
to scan the newsletter for important upcoming events and times.
CHESS CLUB As part of our lunchtime activities program, many
children take up the opportunity to use the large
outdoor chess set. Whilst this tends to happen on an informal
basis between students, we are regularly approached by external
providers who come into schools to teach skills and organise
tournaments within and between schools. The providers work on a
user pays system each term.
If you would like your child to participate in a more formalised
chess program at lunchtimes, and would be willing to fund this
participation, could you please drop me an email at
[email protected] and I will investigate further, if
there is sufficient interest.
Student Safety Please take the time to regularly remind your
child/ren about safety, especially when going to and from school.
Here are the important points to mention: - Do not to talk to
strangers and never accept a ride from a stranger, or accept
lollies or gifts from a stranger.
- Immediately report any issue or problem you may have when
going to or from school, to your mum, dad, or to your teacher, the
Principal, Assistant Principal or office staff.
- Always get permission from mum or dad before going to play
with a friend after school and always let mum and dad know where
you will be and what time you will be home. We advise that,
wherever possible, children should travel to or from school with an
adult or with their friends, rather than travel alone.
