Year 5 students visited Gundagai Pre School last Thursday and met a number of eager children ready to begin school in 2019. This visit was another step in the comprehensive transition program Gundagai Public School delivers to ensure that we offer a seamless transition into the primary school setting.

Congratulations to everyone who completed the Premiers Sporting Challenge this year. This week students will be recognised with a special certificate to acknowledge their commitment to an active lifestyle. It is very exciting to announce that construction on our top block COLA has begun. This is a project that has taken a lot of effort to secure but is now underway. Having a covered area for students to use both in wet weather and on very hot days will be so beneficial. Wifi connection will be

accessable from this covered area, making it also a very pleasant outdoor learning space. This area will be fully operational on our return to school in 2019.

TOP BLOCK SAFETY CONCERNS 1. Parents picking students up from the top block after school has increased greatly

making the area rather congested around 3.15 pm.

2. To support the safety of our students please ensure you follow school procedure.

a. Students are not allowed to walk to

your car unaccompanied.

b. An adult must collect students from

the top block seat where they will

be waiting.

c. On Friday sport afternoons all

students must be collected from

the bottom block.

3. Thank you for your support. Student safety is paramount at Gundagai Public School.

MEDICATION There are guidelines we must follow around administering medication at school. Please be aware of the following:

If students need to take medication while at school parents must complete a written request. Students must not keep these medications with them. They need to be handed it in to the office when they arrive at school.

Prescribed medication is usually sent on a daily basis and in a pharmacy labelled container detailing the student’s name and the prescribed dosage.

TALENT QUEST With auditions completed, students are now busy perfecting their performances. Contestants will rehearse in the school hall during recess and lunch to ensure they are ready to perform at the Talent Quest in Week 8, Wednesday 5th December.

INTENSIVE SWIMMING begins next Monday ALL notes and money are due in this Wednesday

All students in Year 2, 3 and 4 are expected to participate in the first week of our Intensive Swimming Scheme from Monday 3rd December to Friday 7th December. Remember

1. Towel, swimmers, sunblock and bag for wet clothes. Even if the weather is overcast/wet still bring swimming gear. A decision to swim/not swim won’t be made until close to swimming time.

2. Mark all clothing with student’s name. It’s amazing how many socks and towels are in need of an owner at the end of the swimming lessons.

3. Should sickness or injury prevent your child from swimming a note for your child’s teacher is required.

4. Students should not wear their swimmers to school but should change into their swimmers at the pool. Students should change out of their wet swimmers before returning to school.
