School Uniforms

Please ensure all students are in correct school uniform. Students should not be wearing any coloured

stockings, socks, jumpers other than our school colours and uniform. While it is cool of a morning,

students do not need skivvies etc as all rooms are heated and the students become very distressed after

and the second hand clothing pool. Small sizes would be very much appreciated.

School Photos - Thursday, 24 May

School Photos will be held on Thursday, 24 May. All students need to be in full winter school

uniform. Please ensure all students are in the correct uniform, which includes their school

jacket/jumper. All students need their photo envelop on the day even if it has been paid for

online as the envelopes are scanned when students have their individual photos so all names

are correct.

The school leaders and house leaders’ photos will be taken prior to 9am. I ask that all school

leaders and house leaders meet Mrs Bromwich on the basketball court (or hall if raining) at

8.40am. These photos will be taken after the staff photograph.

NAPLAN

Our students at Burnside Public School have transitioned well to NAPLAN online this year. The

students completed their assessments online except for the year 3 writing was via pen and

paper. Students appeared very relaxed with this style of testing.

Please visit the NAPLAN Online website for all information and demonstrations of the site. https://www.nap.edu.au/online-assessment

Entertainment Book 2018/2019 Fundraising

Entertainment Books or Entertainment Digital Memberships

are again available. Sydney West books are available at the

school office – cost $65.00. Order your NEW 2018 |2019

Entertainment Book or Entertainment Digital Membership via

Online ordering system at

http://www.entertainmentbook.com.au/orderbooks/21430k3

and then collect your book from the office.

You'll receive hundreds of valuable offers for everything you love to do, and help our fundraising at the

same time! All you need to do is choose a book that suits you. 20% of the proceeds from every

Entertainment Membership we sell will contribute towards Burnside Public School Year 6 Fundraising.

Year 6 Market Day – Save the date! Thursday 5th July

Year 6 will be holding a Market Day on Thursday 5th July to raise money for their Year 6 gift to the

school. All students from Burnside Public School will be able to join in the market day and buy show bags,

food, games, toys and much more. In order to make this day a success we are asking families for your

assistance in making this a success.

Book Club

Book Club Issue 3 - The last day for orders to be at school will be Monday, 21 May 2018.

Please remember to place the order in the office letterbox.

Woolworths Earn and Learn

The Woolworths Earn and Learn items have finally arrived. Burnside Public School was able to purchase

new post protectors for our multi-purpose court and maths equipment for all students to use.

Thank you to all those families who helped collect the earn and learn stickers in 2017.

Coles Sport for Schools 2018 (from 7th February to 3rd April 2018)

Burnside Public School has sent off all our tokens and are waiting to finalise our order for some news

sports equipment. Thank you to everyone who supported this venture. The students will be very excited

when the new equipment arrives.

Absent Notes

Please return all absent notes to the office for processing. It is a mandatory requirement that all

parents provide a written reason for absence for any days absent from school – this can be via a

note, email or via the school App. Extended Leave Absences relating to travel will be marked as

LEAVE on the roll and therefore contribute to your child’s total absences for the year. If your

child is to be absent for more than 3 weeks, an Application for Extended Leave should be

collected from the school office and completed and returned at least two weeks before travelling.

Pedestrian Bridge

Could I please encourage all families to use the pedestrian bridge. Using the bridge teaches our students

to use a safe passage across one of the busiest roads in Sydney and also allows traffic to flow out of

Masons Drive quicker of an afternoon. The lift is functioning for those who do not want to walk up the

stairs. Thank you for your consideration.

Assembly Awards

Stage 3 Historical Newspaper

To support their Historical Newspaper Project Stage 3 students have been

researching and collecting information on significant events that occurred in

Australia between 1800 and 1900. Mrs Henning, Lucy’s grandmother,

visited both Year 5 and Year 6. She shared stories of her own family history

and answered the student’s questions supporting their projects. The

students were engaged and learned so much from such a knowledgeable

source.
