Term 1 Week 4 20th February, 2020

Hi Everyone! Another great week at Tinonee Public school. Our leaders will be taking part in a Hallogen Young leader’s conference in March, in Sydney. This is a conference for all leaders across NSW schools to listen to motivational speakers and take part in workshops supporting good leadership skills. I would like to thank Tom Dutton from Active OOSH who has supported the cost of the bus for our Community of Wingham (COWS) schools to travel to and from the Sydney venue. This has kept the cost down for families and it is greatly appreciated. The next ‘Meet and Greet’ parent afternoon is next Tuesday 25th February. K-2 at 3 – 3.20pm. 2/3 and 3/4 from 3.20 – 3.40pm and 4/5 and 6E from 3.40 – 4.00pm. This is a good opportunity to find out how your child’s room operates and the timetable for the week. We hope to see you here. Four of our students have been selected as ‘Leaders’ for Muay Thai. Only 6 students from our region are selected and 4 are from Tinonee school! Congratulations on a wonderful achievement – Madeline S, Michael B, Kasey and Alyssa O. The next P&C meeting is the AGM, held on 17th March at 6.30pm. We have a wonderful P&C committee and we are seeking new members. It is not an onerous task, as ‘many hands make light work’ and the support for our school is greatly appreciated. Staff will be holding a DISCO to encourage as many families as possible to attend, while your child has fun and is supervised! We desperately need canteen helpers please! If you can spare (even an hour) please let us know. Please do not hesitate to speak with me if you have any queries or concerns. Your child’s teacher is also welcoming strong communication. Together, we support the learning and wellbeing of all students at our school. Have a great week. Karen

CANTEEN

Our apologies if the last few day’s canteen operations have been a little uncertain- the weather has been playing havoc with the Roof replacement operation. The new Canteen Menu/Price List came home last week. A few of the special updates included : *Chicken Dino’s can now be ordered in a 5 pack instead of 4 pack as we found many parents preferred ordering 5 at a time….more convenient and same individual price. The same applies to Chicken Fingers. * Beef Nacho’s available to order on Fridays!! These are Gluten Free! * We now make Garlic bread for Recess! 40c each piece * New Snap Stix icy poles!! $1 great for snapping in half and sharing with a friend. * Banana bread $1…. Canteen made and served warm * Chicken Caesar Salad tubs have also returned for summer Lots to enjoy this term.

Tinonee was one of the first local schools to sign up for the Flexischool online ordering facility. It’s a convenient lunch/ recess ordering system allowing orders to be placed online using your phone right up to 9am each school day for a very small cost. Ordering in advance or for the whole week is also easily done. Please see the flyer attached for more information. Michelle Swannack Canteen Manager Canteen Volunteers for next week We still have some Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday vacancies. Please let me know if you can help. Friday 21st Michelle, Judy, Vicki and Bree Katsamangos - Thank you Bree!! Monday Michelle Tuesday Amanda Cross Help needed please Wednesday Liz Halfacre Help needed please Thursday Cathy & Judy W.
