CHALCOT WEEKLY
Concert under the Oaks
We were very lucky that the
weather improved and we
were able to hold our concert
under the oaks last Friday
evening!!!!!
What a very great time the
Chalcot family had
munching on their picnic
dinner and then enjoying the
students performing a range
of songs and dances. The
students looked terrific in
their Christmas gear and did
a great job with their items.
Many thanks to families for
coming along and helping to
make the evening such a
success and to the PFA for
cooking and serving ALL
THOSE SAUSAGES!
Thanks also to the staff who,
as usual, made sure that
everything was perfectly
organised.
At the end of the evening,
the children were very
excited, as Santa arrived
with a ring of his bell and a
cheery “Ho, ho, ho”. Candy
canes were shared and, all in
all, a jolly time was had by
all! A special thank you to
Mr Suttie and Ms Natoli for
coordinating this year’s
concert.
Year 6 Graduation Night
Everyone is really looking forward to the Year 6 Graduation
Evening next Tuesday 16th December, during which
graduates will have the opportunity to give prepared
speeches expressing their feelings and thoughts about their
primary school years and their aspirations for their futures.
School Council President, Paul Newton and I will have the
honours of presenting each student with their Graduation
Certificates and Year 6 photos. The students will also be
receiving graduation bears compliments of our kind PFA.
Academic awards for each subject, and including the Dux
award, will also be presented.
Following the formal ceremony, students will be enjoying
their final Chalcot disco. It is sure to be a very happy and
memorable day for everyone!

Students’ Final Day for 2014
As we have a Curriculum Day on Friday 19th December,
students’ last day of school will be on Thursday 18th
December. Students will be dismissed at the usual time of
3.30pm. We will be holding our final assembly for the year
on Thursday 18th December at 2.45pm. Children will be
dismissed as usual from their classrooms.
Teddy Bear Friends
Last Tuesday saw the final Pre-school to Prep Transition
session; and what a great time everybody had! Each
preschool child once again teamed with their senior Chalcot
Buddy to enjoy a very special Teddy Bear BBQ Picnic. It
was lovely to see our students looking after their little
buddies, taking them by the hand to collect their BBQ lunch
and getting to know each other as they ate.
Canteen News
Due to next Friday’s Curriculum day, the canteen will be
open next Wednesday and Thursday for window and lunch
sales. The canteen will resume for window and lunch sales
next year as normal on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please note
however, the canteen will not be open on Friday 30th
January. The canteen will re-open next year starting

On behalf of the Chalcot Family I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Leanne Antonielli for providing our
students with yummy healthy snacks and lunches. Leanne
provides our community a great service and we are very
grateful!!

Concert under the Oaks
As the school continues to grow, so too does the time needed
to complete all our performances. Next year, we will be
cutting back our items to ensure we have plenty of light for
all to enjoy watching the performances.
School Council would like to remind our school community
and visitors, that school activities involving our children are
alcohol free events.
