From the Principal’s Desk…… The end of Term 3 is almost here. It has been a busy ten weeks and we would like to thank

you all for your generous support of learning and extra-curricular activities here at

Freemans Reach Public School. We wish you all a very relaxing Spring Break. The weather is

warming up so I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with

family and friends. Thank you to our school staff, who have worked very hard to provide

engaging learning experience for their students. I hope they will make time for their families

and friends before resuming their planning for Term 4.

There is no pupil free day at the beginning of Term 4. All students will resume school on

Monday 15th October 2018.

See you all then!

Kind regards,

Mrs Cheryl Walker

BUSHFIRE PLAN

With the bushfire season upon us early, we have

reviewed our Bushfire Emergency Management

Plan. In the event of a bushfire threat, our first

action is to follow the instructions of emergency

services. Should we need to evacuate before

buses arrive, we will head to the oval of

Hawkesbury High School. If buses are then

delayed, we will walk down Hibberts Lane to the

lowlands where we will meet buses and proceed

to Macquarie Park, just near the Windsor Bridge.

If a bushfire is upon us with no warning and we

need to shelter onsite, we will use our school hall,

which is equipped with water and other

emergency supplies.

At all times we will attempt to maintain contact

with families via ENews and our Face book page.

If you are able, please make sure you are

members of each of these platforms.

MYUNA BAY

Our Stage 3 students are enjoying an amazing

camp at Myuna Bay. I have had many positive

messages about the students’ engagement with

the activities, working together and the fantastic

accommodation they are enjoying. We look

forward to all their reports and photos when they

return tomorrow.

CAKE STALL

Congratulations to 3/4T and 5/6N, who

coordinated a lovely cake stall to further support

our farmers during this drought. This was inspired

by several request from students in each of these

classes. Thank you to all the parents who assisted

the students with the baking. The students raised

$284.40, which is being forwarded to Hawkesbury

Hay Runners a local charity, who are shipping out

supplies to our farmers.

REMEBRANCE DAY 2018

This year marks the centenary of WW1. The

Windsor RSL will be running the commemorative

service on Sunday November 11th at McQuade

Park in Windsor, commencing at 10.40am. Our

school will support this service in attending and

laying a wreath. For this year, there will be no

service held at Freemans Reach Memorial.

2019 PLANNING

I am aware that it is still a long way off, but we are

now planning for 2019. If you know that you will

be moving and not returning to us next year,

please let us know ASAP. Also, if you know of

families who are moving into the area with school

age children please ask them to call in and speak

with our office staff about school enrolment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
