Dear Parents

We are very pleased to announce that our Prairievale Debating

Team won the Parks Area Debating competition.

The team members were Lara Chwa, Anthony Herrera,

Desmond Hwang, Dylan Jong, Sheevali Ram, Sara Rhaima,

Nicholas Kalas and Danny Nguyen. Thank you to Miss Michetti

and Miss Cassar for their support and excellent coaching. As a

school community we are really proud of these students.

Daniel Morcombe Day

On Tuesday 4 November students participated in Daniel

Morcombe Day. Students wore red to support the day and were

shown an informative video about keeping safe. A big thank you

to all those who supported the day.

Bandanna Day

CanTeen support young people fighting cancer. Every year

23000 young people have to deal with the challenge of cancer -

whether it's their own diagnosis or that of a parent, brother or

sister. CanTeen believe that no young person should face

cancer alone. Thank you to all the Prairievale students, parents

and teachers who donated and participated. The SRC raised

$248 to contribute towards CanTeen. Thank you to the SRC for

supporting this cause.

PSSA

We wish our Senior Boys Cricket team all the best this Friday as

they have made it to the Grand Final for PSSA sport. Well done

boys for the hard work and perseverance during terms 1 and 4.

We will have our fingers crossed. The team will be playing at

Endeavour Park from 9:30am.

School Banking

We have had a successful year with the school banking program.

It’s never too late to create a bank account for your child. The

school banking program shows children how to save and rewards

them throughout the process. If you would like to set up an account

please see the front office for more information.

This term school banking will finish on 2 December 2014. This will

be the last opportunity for students to save their money before the

school holidays. There will be no banking on the 9th and 16th of

December. Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped with

the program over the year.

Public Speaking Finals

We wish Sophie Condell from year 3 all the best next week as she

will be representing our school at the Public Speaking Finals. We

are very proud of her achievements.

Year 6 Transition to High School

Year 6 students will have the opportunity to take part in a transition

to high school day. Each high school has sent out information re-

garding these days to your place of address. This is a valuable ex-

perience as students find out specific information about starting

Year 7. Parents will need to make arrangements to take their child

to their child’s high school on these days. Please contact your

child’s high school if you require additional information.

Halloween Dress Up Day

Halloween Dress Up Day was a huge success and the SRC raised

$322. The funds raised will go towards resources and equipment

for the children. The SRC would like to thank you for supporting us.
