Welcome to Week 6 TERM 4

Lucas Proudfoot Author Visit - Last Wednesday we were lucky enough to be joined by Author and performer Lucas Proudfoot. All the students participated in an engaging and entertaining musical workshop in the morning. Lucas had the kids dancing, singing and playing a wide variety of musical instruments as well as learning about the history and culture of our area. After recess Years 5 and 6 participated in an imaginative writing workshop with Lucas and members of the Byron Bay writers festival. This was also very motivational and engaging for the students. Swim Scheme - I would like to congratulate each and every student from Years K-4 on their behaviour and progression during swim scheme. The students have all been giving 110% and the improvement and confidence is clear to see. I am also very pleased with the way the kids are organising themselves and behaving in the change rooms and so far we have had no lost property. Well done boys and girls! Student Sickness - There have been several tummy bugs and colds going around over the last couple of weeks. If your child is showing signs of sickness and fatigue then please keep them at home to rest. There is lots happening in the next few weeks and it would be great to have all the students participating in the coming events. Disco - Speaking of coming events, our school disco will be held this Thursday night at the Harwood Hall from 6:00pm- 8:00pm. The students have decided that the theme for the disco is anything goes so that should be interesting. This is a P & C event and some parents will be required for supervision. If you can help in any way please let the P & C know. 2019 Leadership Speeches - This Thursday at 10:30am we will hear from our candidates for the position of school leaders in 2019. The students will then vote for their preferred choice and the leaders will be announced at the Presentation assembly on November 29. Westpac Helicopter Day - This Friday our SRC have organised the annual fundraiser for the Westpac Helicopter. Students need to be wearing red and yellow and bring along lots of 5,10 and 20 cent coins to place inside our helicopter mural. Gold coin donations are also encouraged.

P&C News

As part of our schools end of year program, the P&C likes to run a disco for the students. This year it will be held at the Harwood Island Community Hall on Thursday 22nd November from 6pm-8pm. All of the students are invited to come along for a night of dancing and fun with the friends. This is a P&C run event so there will be no teacher supervision. If you are able to help out with setting up, chaperoning, canteen or packing up the hall, please speak to one of your P&C representatives, send a note in to school or contact Sahnti on 0432 439 815. The kids have decided not to have a specific theme this year but everyone still wants to dress up so anything goes! There will be some prizes on the night for awesome dancing, creative dress ups and great attitude so encourage your child to get involved. Tickets are $10 and include entry, hot dog and a popper. There will also be icy poles and baked goodies available to purchase on the night. If your child has any dietary requirements, please leave a message at the school and our amazing canteen team will accommodate. Tickets are available from the front office.

Presentation Day - Our school presentation assembly will be held on Thursday November 29 in the school grounds. The assembly will begin at 9:30am and run for about one hour. See you there!

Woombah Carols- Friday November 30! - Please make sure you mark down Friday November 30 in your calendars. Our students will be performing two Christmas Carols and a surprise song as well as a dance at the Woombah Carols. It would be wonderful to have all the students present on the night. The night begins at 6:00pm and we generally perform at the start of the evening.

School Assembly - There will be a whole school assembly in the library this Friday starting at 2:30pm. Have a great week everybody and pace yourselves over the next few weeks.
