Dear Parents/Guardians

Well done to the students from Room 3 who ran last Thursday’s

assembly based on an ocean theme. Not only did they perform an

entertaining song but they shared several very interesting facts with

us.

Faction Carnival

What a wonderful day we had on Tuesday for our faction Carnival.

Students were actively involved in all events and appeared to

thoroughly enjoy the day.

Special thanks to the Schools P&C workers who ran the Sausage Sizzle,

Cake Stall and helped in the canteen. They did a great trade in all areas.

The coffee van on site was very successful with them donating a portion

of their takings back to the P&C.

The P&C paid for all the many ribbons that were given out yesterday as

well as the 8 Encouragement trophies that were awarded. Thank you

for this generous donation. I know the students enjoy walking around

with a large number of ribbons pinned to them.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank both the teaching and non-

teaching staff from the Primary and Ed. Support Schools who assisted

on the day to make it such a successful event.

Also a special thank you to the coordinator, Mrs Jackson, who spent

many hours preparing for the event. Carnivals don’t just happen, there

is a lot of work done beforehand.

The Interschool Team will now be picked and it is scheduled to be

held here at Riverside on Wednesday the 7th September.

NAPLAN

Students in Year 3 and 5 who sat the NAPLAN tests earlier this

year in May will be receiving their reports today. There is a

pamphlet included outlining how to read your child’s report. If

you require further information please see your child’s teacher. I

will be giving an overview in a future newsletter on how we went

as a school.

Thank you
