Dates for the Calendar

Dear Parents and Friends,

Check your calendar and check the app for news of coming

school events for the next three very busy weeks, as we draw nearer to the end of year celebration season.

Proud and Deadly Students from Edward Public School will be represented at

the proud and deadly awards on Thursday, 28th November at

the RSL. Commencing at 11 am, students will receive awards for aspects of school achievement and effort throughout the

year. We look forward to seeing our very supportive parents attend the event with their children.

Swimming An exciting week is ahead for our students participating in

the all-important Swimming Scheme. Our Year 2 and 3 students will be heading off to the pool for the next two

weeks to learn how to become stronger and more confident swimmers. This program is an essential part of our Physical

Education Program and is provided by trained Austswim providers through the Department of Education and

Communities. The best part is, it is FREE. Ask for a note

from the Admin Office or see Mrs Jacobs.

Reading in Stage One Reading is fun in Stage One! When you visit our stage One

classrooms each morning the rooms are a buzz with the

sound of children and mums and dads reading together. It was great to be invited to join the crowds of enthusiastic

readers last week, enjoying this great reading activity. Many thanks to our very supportive parents and friends of Edward

Public School for coming along and helping in our classrooms with the reading project, and for making a huge

difference to our children’s learning.

PBL Morning Tea

Collect those stickers and tokens as we count down to the

date for our end of year PBL Morning Tea. Students who have been doing the expected SAFE, RESPECTFUL AND

RESPONSIBLE behaviours in our playground and have received PBL certificates this term will be invited to the PBL

morning tea in Week 10. So remember

BE SAFE - SHOW RESPECT - BE RESPONSIBLE

Best wishes

Joy Soper Principal

kinder students and their parents to attend their Best Start Day next year, and to meet their Buddy. We encourage

Big Bash Cricket Last week over consecutive days, Edward Public School had

4 teams; Edward Bushrangers, Edward Blues, Edward

Warriors and Edward Redbacks participate in the annual Big Bash Cricket Day. (formerly super 8's). In contrasting

conditions, Stage 2 battled it out in blistering heat on Wednesday while after a major drop in temperature and

the threat of cancellation due to rain saw Stage 3 rugged

up in jumpers on Thursday. All teams played a total of four games against other local schools in a limited overs and

batting format. The students represented Edward with great sportsmanship and exemplary behaviour. Many

thanks to our team managers Mrs Young, Mr Howell, Miss

Dodd, Kerrie Godfrey, Teena Irwin, Mrs Bermingham, Bronwyn O'Connor,Tanya Larcombe, Felicity Michael, and

Broden Larcombe without whose help the day would not have been the success it was. A huge thanks and

congratulations to Mr Bradley who co-ordinated another smoothly run successful two day event.
