Principal’s Report
Our Stage 2 students have been excellent ambassadors for our school during their excursion to Lake Burrendong last week. The students participated in a range of activities including kayaking and rock climbing. The accompanying teachers were full of praise for the students’ involvement and behaviour. Congratulations to the students who attended. Cake Stall Each year, our senior students undertake fundraising activities. This Friday, Year 6 students will be running a cake stall. There will be a further two cake stalls at fortnightly intervals. Notes for Absence Parents and carers are reminded that all absences need to be explained sufficiently in writing or by contacting the office on 6895 2134. Where an absence is due to an exceptional family circumstance, please contact the office to request an exemption prior to the student’s absence. Appropriate Footwear All students are expected to wear black leather school shoes or joggers. Canvas shoes, regardless of style, do not provide adequate protection and should not be worn to school. P&C Meeting The next meeting of the P&C is at 7pm on Thursday, 7 November in the school library. All welcome to attend. Book Fair – change of date Our annual Book Fair has been changed to the week of November 11 – 15. Students will be able to look at the items available for sale from Monday to Thursday, with all available to buy on Friday November 15. Harvest Traffic The annual harvest can result in increased heavy vehicle activity around our school. Please speak to your children about this and to ensure they are using the pedestrian crossing and being extra careful. Picking up students on the pedestrian crossing and doing U-turns is dangerous.

Intention to apply: Year 7 entry into selective high schools in 2015
Dear Parent/Carer
Government schools use a range of strategies to meet the educational needs of gifted and talented students. One strategy is selective high school placement which provides intellectual stimulation and an educationally enriched environment for gifted and talented students.
Offers for selective high school placement will be determined mainly on the basis of the Selective High School Placement Test results and school assessment. The Selective High School Placement Test will be held on Thursday 13 March 2014.
If you would like your child to apply for selective high school placement in Year 7 in 2015, you need to do so soon.
Most applicants are expected to apply on the internet and submit their application online. They will need to have an email address (not the student’s email address), access to the internet and a printer.
Detailed instructions on how to apply online will be available from 15 October 2013 at www.schools.nsw.edu.au/shsplacement. Online applications close on 18 November 2013.
If parents do not have internet access, commercially printed application forms become available from the school on 22 October 2013. They must be completed and returned to the school by 18 November 2013.
The applications will be processed by the school in exactly the same way whether parents apply online or submit a commercially printed form. Parents are to submit only ONE application for each student.
Yours sincerely
Principal
Cut along the dotted line and return the completed slip below to this school by next Friday.
Note: This is an intention to apply only, NOT an application. You will need to submit either an online or a paper application to be considered for placement.
