ACTING PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Congratulations to Hannah U – 6B [Gladesville Gladiators] and Holly R – Prep C [Wells Wildcats] who won their section of Patto’s Got Talent last Friday afternoon.

I would also like to thank and congratulate all participants who auditioned last month, in particular, Seth M (6A), Fletcher L (6A), Chloe B (6A), Abbey T (4C), Braya H (2C), Brooke W (2A), Chloe A (2A), Summer M (2A) and Ashley F (1B) who made it through to the final. The school was very proud of their performances.

Thank you to Mrs Carmona, the House Leader teachers, House Captains and the judges for their efforts in making this such a success.

WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY

Thank you to Miss Conway for her terrific organisation of the Walk Safely to School Day last Friday. It was great to see so many families participate and enjoy the sausage sizzle breakfast donated by Baker’s Delight.

LOST PROPERTY

There are still a number of unnamed items in Lost Property. These items include lunch boxes, drink bottles and a variety of food containers. If you are missing any of these please take a look in the Lost Property area located near the Canteen. Thank you to those parents who spent time to sort through the large number of items and organise the return of those that were named. From time to time some parents happen to find and return named clothing of other students which is great. Please ensure all jumpers, bomber jackets and hats are named and check regularly at home to ensure that you have the correct uniform.

P.E UNIFORM

Could you please check your children’s P.E day and ensure

they wear the correct P.E uniform to school on this day.

We are currently experiencing a lot

of children not wearing their PE

uniform to school on their PE days

and this does not help them to

reach their full learning potential.

The P.E uniform allows all students

to actively participate safely and

confidently.

The P.E uniform consists of a

school polo with either pants or

shorts/skort and running shoes

that provide good support and comfort.

Thank you,

The P.E department.
