Key Dates, Term 3

Dear Parents, Children and Friends,

ONLINE SAFETY DAY

We recently had an Online Safety Day

to help support our students in remaining

safe online. Years 4-6 participated in a

student workshop about digital footprints

and keeping their information private. Staff

from St Mary’s and JPC joined our staff for

a teacher workshop where we learned

about the latest trends in child online

activity. In the evening, parents from

the three schools participated in an

enlightening session about the challenges

facing families in the use of technology

by children. They were provided with a

number of resources to help combat

common issues and the parents who

attended found it to be a very informative

evening.

YEAR 6 CAMP

Our Year 6 students, along with

Miss Miles, Mrs Gregory and Mr Foy, our

parent helper, returned on Friday evening

from five days in Perth for camp. They

participated in a huge range of challenging

activities and have come back tired, but

happy to have shared this special

experience with their classmates. They

have made many happy memories!

INTERSCHOOL ATHLETIC S

CARNIVAL

Today, a number of our students have

been competing in the Interschool

Athletics Carnival. All reports so far have

been positive and the students are

demonstrating excellent sportsmanship

and team work.

Thank you to Miss Sturtridge for

co-ordinating this event for our students

and ensuring they are well prepared.

WILL YOU BE IN HERE IN 2019?

We are beginning to make plans for 2019,

so if your family will be leaving the school

between now and the end of the year,

please let the office know in writing, as

soon as possible. This will allow us to

make staffing and enrolment decisions

over the coming months.

Farmers’ Day

This Friday we are having a fundraiser for

drought relief. We believe it is important to

support other regional communities in times

of need, so children are invited to come to

school dressed as a farmer, a farm animal, or

just in free dress, in exchange for a gold coin

donation. The P & F will also be cooking a

lunch and orders and payment need to be

made by Thursday, as no late orders can be

taken. The canteen will not be operating that

day.
