Dear Parents and Carers,

WORKING BEE Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that came and helped out at the P&C Working Bee on Sunday. Around 250 people came to lend a hand and what a difference it has made to the look of our school. The grounds are sparkling and everything looked amazing for our Kindergarten 2019 tour this morning. Our P&C did a fabulous job organising the event and I am very grateful.

A special thank you must go to Mr Jon for giving up his time to help and also to Warrawee Anglican for sup-plying morning tea and lunch for everyone. Members of Warrawee Anglican also lent a hand in the garden as well which was very generous of them. All in all this was a very special school community day. Thank you all for supporting the school in this way.

NEW CLASSROOM Due to our increased student numbers this year we will be gaining an additional classroom. The room will be positioned next to 2M on the Finlay side of the school and should be arriving within the next month or so.

SCHOOL TOUR FOR KINDY 2019 Today we held our first Kindergarten 2019 school tour. If you know of anyone thinking of enrolling their child at Warrawee next year please encourage them to complete an enrolment form as soon as possible as it helps us plan appropriately for next year.

UNAUTHORISED USE OF STAFF CARPARKS Just a reminder: that no parents or unauthorised vehicles are to enter our staff car parks without approval. If special circumstances require you to use the carpark at any time you must first seek permission from the Principal or Deputy Principal. No permission will be granted for unauthorised vehicles between the hours of 7:30 and 9:00am or between 2:30 and 4:00pm.

ROAD SAFETY AROUND OUR SCHOOL Traffic and pedestrian issues are always an issue of concerns around the school. We rely heavily on drivers doing the correct thing and following the road rules and parking signs. We also need the children to take care and follow some rules as well to ensure their safety. If your child rides a bike or scooter to school please remind them that they must get off before the building site next door and walk the rest of the way to the school. The fear is that drivers exiting or entering the school will not see and react quickly enough to children on bikes and scooters. If your child walks to or from school please remind them to take care when walking across driveways and to always stop and check carefully before crossing the road.

3-6 PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT On 13 June a playground improvement project is due to commence in front of the band room. This is a long awaited for development and we are very excited to know that the commencement date is now rapidly ap-proaching.

GOOD LUCK ZONE CROSS COUNTRY COMPETITORS I would like to wish our Warrawee cross country representatives the very best of luck as they compete at the Zone Cross Country Carnival on Monday. It is a great achievement to reach this level and we are all very proud of these runners. Thank you to Mrs Pellarini and Mrs Schmidt for volunteering to be our team manag-ers on the day. Good luck to all of our Warrawee representatives!!!

Have a wonderful week.

Kind regards

Carrie Robertson

PSSA FRIDAY LUNCH ORDERS The Tuckshop are now requesting PSSA children to NOT or-der their lunch on a Friday. This is due to time restrictions of children boarding buses and volume of orders on a Friday. We're hoping this will make it more manageable for all in-volved in sport. Please use another day for your special order. Thank you for your support with this.

VOLUNTEERS Please consider volunteering with us this term, no need to register online, just turn up, the door is open! The Infants chil-dren love seeing a parent in the tuckshop. We particularly need help on Wed, Thurs and Fridays, to open the Infants window at lunchtime. If you have a spare hour please come to the primary canteen at 12.15pm. Only thing we need is your Working With Children Check. We thank you in advance.

The Year 5 Warrawee Debating team had their first debate of the competition last Wednesday against Turramurra North Public School. The topic was: ‘Beaches should have shark nets’ and Warrawee were the negative team. We are happy to announce that the Warrawee team won their first debate of the competition! Well done to: Harry F, Joshua G, Maddie H, Jack T, Mary F and Ava G. It was a great effort. The debate was entertaining to watch and both teams did an excellent job. Best of luck for the second debate in Week 5! Lastly, we would like to thank the parents for driving children to and from the debate and for being fantastic supporters of this valuable learning opportunity.

K-2 AWARDS

All class, individual and sibling photos will take place on Tuesday 19th June. On this day students must wear full winter school uniform and polished black shoes. Girls with long hair are to have it tied neatly, preferably with a red ribbon. All students will receive a personalised envelope, which parents will need to complete and return to the class teacher on photo day. Each student is to have his or her own envelope. Please read the envelope for details on payment methods. If you would like a sibling photo taken, a separate envelope is needed. The sibling photo envelopes will be available in the In-fants and Primary offices. This envelope will also need to be at school on the day of the photos or before. If students do not return photo envelopes they will still have their photos taken but will not receive a copy. Photos normally arrive back at school within four weeks of being taken. All sport photos will take place in Term 3 on Wednesday 25th July. Students must wear sports uniform for these photos. The Sport photos will be put on display at the 3-6 canteen area in Term 3 and orders will be taken. Many thanks, Miss K Ferguson Photo Co-ordinator

The Stage Band is in for a special treat with our very own jazz expert, Mrs Newland jamming with them this week!!

We thank them all for their time this week, it is much appreciat-ed.

WORKING BEE

A huge thank you to the more that 250 helpers that came to the school Working Bee. What an amazing turn out by the Warrawee Public School community.

Together we:

collected 16m3 of green waste spread 12m3 of playground mulch spread 5m3 of garden bed mulch moved 3 tonnes of garden soil cleared 2 large drains high pressure hosed colas painted a section of the school fence cleaned the bathrooms and more!

Thanks to Warrawee Anglican and our Community Partners Cen-tury 21 Radar Properties for providing the morning tea, face paint-ing and BBQ lunch and to Campbell’s Superior Meats of West Pymble for supplying the sausages at a subsidised cost.

Thanks also to Mr Jon and the P&C Grounds Committee, particu-larly Matt D and Mark D, for coordinating the Working Bee.

Well done to the participating students who earned a mini merit. And overall, a big thank you to everyone for your time and effort in supporting our school, it is very much appreciated.

BENDIGO BANKING UPDATE Our parent helper, who has very kindly collected and returned the student banking each week for the past few years, is no longer able to undertake this role. Unfortunately we have received no volunteers to take over the role. Following discussions at the P&C meeting last Monday 21 May, those families that still wish to par-ticipate in this program will need to take their children’s banking directly to Bendigo Bank themselves. Thank you for your under-standing.

NATIONAL WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY It was fantastic to see so many students and parents/carers walk-ing to school on Friday 18 May National Walk Safely to School Day, especially those taking on the twin peaks of Finlay and Blytheswood! The participating students earned themselves a mini merit. The students really enjoyed the visit by the police too, especially getting to look in the police cars. Thanks to Rachel W for assisting the school with this great initiative. We encourage students and their parents/carers to keep up the safe walking to school, it makes a difference to the traffic around the school, im-proves road safety awareness and builds healthy habits.

WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE SRC Katy B and I met with the school SRC last Tuesday to hear about what initiatives they are working on, particularly in the area of fundraising. Such an enthusiastic group of students with so many great ideas! We also spoke about how the P&C and the SRC may be able to work together on a fundraising campaign together later this year which is exciting. We also discussed having SRC repre-sentatives come along to speak at our next P&C meeting in Au-gust so don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear from our War-rawee Public School students.

MEETINGS We held a P&C Meeting last Monday 21 May and it was great to see some new parents, including Kindy parents, come along. I really encourage people to come to P&C meetings and get in-volved in discussions about our school and perhaps join a sub-committee (see below).
