“THE FUTURE IS OURS”

Newsletter

5th March 2020 Term 1 Week 6 (Issue No.3)

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.

Mobile Phones and Electronic Devices Families are asked to ensure students don’t bring phones, ipads or electronic devices to school. If phones are required for after-school communication, please consider leaving a message at the office before the bell goes and we will deliver the message. This happens frequently. If this is not possible then the phone will have to be left at the office and picked up after school. We have been made aware of several students bringing phones etc to school recently.

Family Conferences Please book your appointment times via the electronic booking system we have set up. Notes went home last week. If you have lost your note or need help with the booking please contact the office. We are aiming for 100% attendance.

A Hat Parade will be held on Wednesday, 8th April for students K-2. Families are encouraged to start making their Easter hat. Do not go to any great expense. Re-use craft scraps, cardboard, or other bits and pieces you al-ready have at home. The parade will be at 10:30am. Families are wel-come to attend the parade and have morning tea/recess with their child. Normal classes will resume at 11:30am. Parent/carers are requested NOT to take their child home early.

Easter Raffle Each year the P&C conducts an Easter raffle which is drawn after the Hat Parade. The prize is a yummy basket of Easter goodies. Raffle ticket books will be sent home to families next week. Please support this fundraising activity and the wonderful work done by our P&C by selling a book of tickets and by donating chocolate eggs, bunnies or Easter craft.
