Father’s Day
Breakfast - reminder
For the second year running, staff have
organised the Father’s Day breakfast, where
Dads and their children are invited to school to enjoy a
‘just cooked’ hot breakfast of egg and bacon rolls. The
information went home via paper note. For those who
have made their order, please don’t forget this annual
event is happening on Monday, 5th September from
7.30am to 8.45 am in the Multi-Purpose Room.
Grade Two Sleep-Over – first ‘camping’
event for Grade Two children
Friday, 9th September is an exciting time for Grade Two
children as they begin their school camp experience with
an overnight sleep-in at school. The students meet on the
Friday night and set up their ‘bed’ in the middle school
corridor (this could be a blow up mattress, a sleeping
bag, or whatever suits the family best). After some games
and sometimes a G rated movie, the children go to bed
after a snack. Teachers and parents are available over
the night and morning, with the main task encouraging
some students to close their eyes. In the morning,
breakfast is provided by some helpful parents. The
students are collected by their parents, often going home
to have a little more sleep after the excitement of
sleeping with so many friends.
The out of school camping program begins in Grade 3
and a 3 day camp happens each year until, and
including Grade 6. We have four tried and tested camps
we have been using for a while. The Grade 3 and 4
camp usually happens in the second semester, whilst the
Grade 5 and 6 camp happens in the first semester. All
camps are activity based, with ACA accreditation.

Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest

Car Parking Improvements
Over the coming holidays some work will be completed to expand our onsite
car parking capabilities.
When the senior school building was completed in 2010, a significant proportion of car
parking was lost. Restoring at least some of this parking has been on the school’s
infrastructure plan since that time. Now that our higher priority infrastructure projects
have been completed (including refurbishment of both the middle school and junior school
buildings, external painting, new fencing and grounds improvements) we are now in a
position to address this problem.
Car parking is one of few sources of disharmony with our local residents. While it is
difficult to solve problems of congestion at pick up and drop off times, taking
responsibility for our car parking requirements for staff and visitors during the school day
is one thing we can do to minimise the impact and be a good neighbour.
Providing adequate car parking is also a service to our staff. Investing in infrastructure
that improves working conditions is one way we can say thank you for the wonderful job
they do, and helps to attract great applicants for future positions.
The new car parking spaces have been designed so that they do not impinge on existing
play spaces. They will be installed along the grassed area at the edge of the driveway
leading into the existing car park. This area is not used as part of the oval, and will not
affect the adjacent shade sail. The work will also include improvements to fencing
between the car park and oval, as well as a proper access point for vehicles onto the
oval for the purpose of maintenance and special events (such as the school fair).
The works will be completed during the upcoming school holidays so there will be no
impact on the students during construction.

Sports Captains Next term, sport shed borrowing will continue. Students will have to line up outside the sport shed. Make sure that you bring back the equipment. If you don't bring it back, you won't be able to borrow again. We would love more people to come and borrow sport equipment. Will and India Sport Captains
Junior School Council The Junior School Council have been surveying
students to find out what improvements we can
make to the schoolyard. Some suggestions include
adding equipment like spades and buckets to the
Village, new sports equipment such as basketball
rings, and new grass for the oval! We have looked
at the suggestions and we will be buying
equipment for the Village very soon. Mr McLean
has also recently installed new basketball nets on
the basketball court. Keep a look out for the
equipment in the Village soon!
