Last week was a really busy and
successful week for our students and
staff at Windale PS.
GREAT AUSSIE BUSH CAMP
Our Stage 3 students have returned from
their excursion to the Great Aussie Bush
Camp and loved every minute of the
experience. Thanks must go to Ms
Carter, Mrs McBay and Barry who gave
up time with their families over the three
days and two nights to allow this to
happen. We are currently looking into
the cost of a Stage 3 excursion to
Canberra next year as we did in 2017 so
that we can find out from families if they
are interested in this occurring and an
approximate
cost. We will
also be doing
the same for
our Stage 2
excursion for
2019.
EVACUATION DRILLS AND LOCKDOWN
As you would be aware, as part of our
Work Health and Safety procedures,
schools are required to hold regular drills
for evacuations and lockdowns within
each term in case an emergency should
occur. As a result of each drill, we look at
what procedures are in place and make
any necessary adjustments for the future
to ensure the safety of all people on our
site. For us this has included the addition
of a new sound system across the school
to ensure bells can be heard as well as
our new phone system. Up until now, we
have notified parents via Facebook when
we are going to hold these drills so that
our families, particularly those living
close to the school, are not worried
when they hear the alarms going off or
seeing all the gates being locked. From
now on we will not be doing this as we
need to start preparing our community
in case an emergency occurred as we
would not be able to give advance
warning then. We thank you for
understanding why we need to do this.
P&C BBQ BUNNINGS – SATURDAY 25TH
AUGUST
Our P&C have
been lucky
enough to secure another BBQ
Fundraiser this Saturday at Bunnings
Belmont from 8am – 4pm and would be
grateful of any community members
who could volunteer some time to help
out on the day. Even an hour or so would
be fantastic. Money raised at events
such as this go towards supporting our
families by lowering the costs for
excursions so please help out if you can.
As always we thank our dedicated
volunteers for everything that they do to
make Windale PS the wonderful school
that it is.
Have a terrific week of learning
everyone!

Friday netball saw the Junior team have a great
game against Mt Hutton with a good win. Special
mention to Nicole Hodges for her great defence
during the game. Seniors had a tough game
against St.Mary’s. St.Mary’s were too strong on
the day. Special mention to Elle who also had a
great defensive game.
In summerly conditions both the
Juniors and Seniors Football
teams played great football
against strong opposition.
The Juniors played against
Eleebana and Wiripanng showing
great defence and playing
strong, open football. Players of
the match awards went to Bianca and Charlie. Special men-
tion to Cody who is improving so much every week.
The Seniors played a strong
against Floraville. Players of the
match awards went to Connor and
Bradley. A big thank you to Mt

with the Seniors who were short a
couple of players.
Again a big, big thank you to super
coaches Luke and Tim who both
do a fabulous job with both
teams.
