NORTH HAVEN
PUBLIC SCHOOL
“THE FUTURE IS OURS”
Newsletter
24th September 2020 Term 3 Week 10 (Issue No.27)
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
VISION: North Haven Public School, in partnership with our
community, promotes and provides a dynamic, future-focused learning
environment fostering equity and excellence. Our school will
deliver opportunities for every
student to become a successful learner and a caring, confident,
creative individual.
Dear North Haven Families It is hard to believe the end of Term
3 has already arrived. We hope you all have an enjoyable and safe
break and we look forward to seeing all our students’ smiling faces
in a couple of weeks ready for Term 4. Today we received Term 4
guidelines from the
Department of Education. Once we have reviewed
these documents, we will be able to confirm dates
and events for our Term 4 calendar. We already have
some exciting events such as the Primary Athletics
Fun Day, the Book Parade and NAIDOC day locked
into the calendar!
Band Fees Adjustments have been made to band tuition fees
because of the interruption to the band program due to
COVID-19.
Term 1 reduced from $100 to $80 Term 2 reduced from $100 to $40
Term 3 reduced from $100 to $40
Band statements were sent out a few weeks ago and we are asking
families who have not paid Term 1, 2 or 3 fees to please try and do
this during the holidays. Families who made a payment earlier in
the year may have a credit on their account and this was shown on
the statement. Please contact the office if you would like
clarification on this. As always I invite anyone who is
experiencing

PRIMARY ATHLETICS FUN DAY Our Primary Athletics Fun Day will be
held on Wednesday 14th October, 2020 (Week 1, Term 4). Due to
Department of Education COVID-19 guidelines, modifications have had
to be made to our normal Athletics Carnival program. The Athletics
Fun Day will take place this year on the school oval, and only the
track and novelty events will run on this day. Field event finals
(long jump, discus and shot put) will occur during Weeks 2 – 4 at
lunchtimes. The Fun Day will involve the following events: 100m
races and finals (8yrs, 9yrs, 10yrs, 11yrs, 12yrs, 13yrs) 200m
& 800m races and finals (Junior, 11yrs and Senior) House relays
Novelty events Unfortunately, parents/carers are not permitted to
attend the Primary Athletics Fun Day. Please ensure that your
child’s media and Facebook permissions are up-to-date so that we
can share any photos taken on the day. The canteen will be open on
the day for recess and lunch orders, and other tasty snacks. Please
ensure that your child brings a full water bottle, an appropriate
sun-safe hat, shoes that are suitable for sport and sunscreen.
Students can wear their House colours: Acacia (yellow), Banksia
(red), Eucalypt (blue), Melaleuca (green). No midriff tops or
singlets should be worn.

Band & Choir Update Thank you all for your patience this
term. It has certainly been a rollercoaster ride! I am cautiously
optimistic that our band and choir programs may be able to resume
in some form in Term 4. A working group called the Roundtable of
Instrumental, Vocal and Music Education Organisations (RIVMEO) has
been meeting with NSW Health to develop a risk management framework
for vocal and instrumental music in community and education
settings. This is a very encouraging first step. I am hopeful that
these meetings will result in updated advice being offered to the
Department of Education by NSW Health. In the meantime, let’s all
keep practising hard so that we are ready to go if things change!
Information about Junior Band 2021 will be released early next
term. Stay tuned! Mrs Skerritt

Lost Property We have been enjoying some wonderful weather
recently and perhaps this has contributed to an increase in
discarded jumpers, hats and drink bottles finding their way into
lost property. Please ensure that all items are labelled and if
your child’s school jumper is currently missing perhaps check
there. Students may look through lost property for missing
belongings before school, at recess, lunchtime and after school
(not during class time). The lost property box is located on the
balcony near the reading room. Unlabelled items will be donated to
our used clothing pool or a local charity shop. All unnamed drink
bottles, containers and miscellaneous items will be thrown out.
These school holidays, please take time to check your child’s bags
and ensure all of their items are clearly labelled. Please return
to school any stray hats or jumpers that have mistakenly been taken
home.

K-2 Athletics Fun Day

A perfect day was had by everyone at the K-2 Athletics Fun Day
yesterday on a hot sunny day. The children had a great time
rotating through age races, shot put, discus, long jump, ball
games, relay races and novelty events. The novelty events included
target practice, sacks & bean bags, hurdles, hoops &
ladders and egg and spoons. The excitement lasted all day, with the
children showing great sportsmanship in all activities.
