Principal’s Message
Thank you to all the parents who came and had a cuppa with me on Monday morning. It was lovely to meet you.
This week, a small group of staff members got to have a close look at the stone work which is being done to repair the main building. It looks great! I’m pleased to let you know that the scaffolding will be coming down very soon, and you’ll all get to appreciate the beautiful building once again. Work will continue on the ground repairs until January.
I’m looking forward to my first Glebe P&C meeting next Tuesday evening. It will be held in the staffroom at 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome.
Grandparent’s Day is next Friday. It kicks off with open classrooms from 12, followed by lunch, and then an assembly. I hope to see many of you there.

Have a great weekend!

Peer Support Week 3– Cooperating and Listening During Peer Support this week the children will look at qualities their friends may have and the concept that we choose friends based on the qualities we admire in them. They will also explore the skills of friendship, specifically those of cooperating and listening. During the week encourage your child to show they are interested in the person they are talking to by being an active listener.
Stage 1 are
learning about fire
safety.

P&C News
Term 4 meeting - Tuesday, October 30th @ 6.30pm
Our first of two meetings for Term 4 will be held next Tuesday. All parents/carers/interested parties are invited to attend.
For those who are new to Glebe PS, P&C meetings are a great opportunity to meet other families, get to know the staff and keep yourself updated on what's happening at the school. For those who are keen to get more involved through volunteering on P&C projects, you can find out about ways to do so. However, there is no pressure to commit to anything - you are welcome to come along just to hear what's happening!
Childcare is provided (free of charge) on the school grounds at Centipede for the duration of meetings, which usually conclude between 8 - 8.30pm. If you have children below school age, please contact Centipede first to confirm if they are able to attend - call Vic or Jen on 9692 0663.
NSW Curriculum Review
The State Government recently announced that they have 'commenced a review of the NSW school curriculum to ensure our education system is preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. This is the first comprehensive review since 1989.'
As parents, carers and/or P&C members, we have all been invited to have our say on the NSW school curriculum. You can do so by going to this page: https://www.nsw.gov.au/improving-nsw/have-your-say/nsw-curriculum-review/
Feedback and submissions close on November 30.
