From the Principal…..

Hi everyone,

On Monday the primary children were involved in their

second art workshop with Jenny Greentree. All children

produced amazing artworks and should be commended

for their outstanding effort and manners.

The Preschool Aboriginal Education Officer position will

soon be advertised. On the 14th November people from

the Department of Education will be visiting the school

to talk about the duties and requirements of this posi-

tion. If you are interested please come along.

I am looking for an Aboriginal parent who would

like to sit on the interview panel for the AEO po-

sition. The parent must hold or be willing to get a vol-

unteer working with children check. If you would like to

be on the interview panel please let me know as soon

as possible.

Our student of the week this week is Jack Baty. Jack

receives this award for his continued his effort and dedi-

cation to improve his school work. Well done Jack!

Regards,

PRESCHOOL NEWS

This week we learned about blood and the circulatory system, as

well as the brain. The children have been very engaged in learn-

ing about the body, asking many questions and linking their prior

knowledge to their knew understanding. We made our own

brains from jelly and performed brain surgery on them. We also

made blood!

We have also been making props and practicing for presentation

day next month. I have purchased some shirts and we are mak-

ing other costumes, but if everyone can please bring in a pair of

thongs and shorts for their child before Presentation Day I would

greatly appreciate it.

Preschool had a go at doing their own artworks similar to the

ones they had seen the big kids do. They also enjoyed reading

our new books, drawing, building and of course, swimming.

THE HUNT FOR

DANGER MAJOR

The Children had a blast this week

hunting for Danger Major through-

out Preschool, Primary and the

Playground. Apparently he was

being very cheeky indeed and

stealing their hats and socks. Eve-

ryone got so involved and played

dramatically in a large group for

over 30 minutes, supporting each

other and developing their imagi-

nation and creativity.

We are looking for volunteers from the local community who

We would like to set up a program so that lots of different activi-

students to have private keyboard or guitar lessons.

This would run after school for half an hour lessons.

Students wishing to learn guitar would need their own.

Students wishing to learn keyboard would be able to use the

schools.

The cost is $32.95 for a 30min lesson and the lessons would

run weekly.
