Another Great Term As we draw to the end of another term, we would like to congratulate all students for striving to improve in academic areas as well as social development. Well done boys and girls. Thanks also to you, our parents, for continually supporting your child’s love of school and learning. To the wonderful staff, thanks for consistently striving to provide excellence on a daily basis. Together, we have all made a significant difference to the lives of all of our students. Thanks to the office ladies for getting us through the term.

Thanks to Our Volunteers Our school is a terrific place for learning because our teachers are able to dedicate most of their time to teaching and learning. The reason that our teachers can commit to teaching is that many of our other school-based jobs are completed by our wonderful volunteers. On behalf of the entire Glenorie Public School learning community thanks to the volunteers associated with canteen, uniform shop, reading helpers, book club, sports carnival officials and our many other volunteers. You are all truly appreciated. Thanks.

Athletics Day Carnival & BBQ The K-6 Athletics Carnival will be held on Thursday 25 July at Les Shore Oval. We hope all parents and friends will be able to join in and provide encouragement. Sausage rolls and pies can be pre-ordered. Please do your orders on FlexiSchools as soon as possible. The fundraising committee will be running a canteen on the day and the coffee van will be starting at 10:00am. For safety reasons, students will not be permitted to wear shoes with spikes.

Glenorie Debating Team Well done to the Green Glenorie debating team, who competed today against the students from West Pennant Hills Public School. The effort and presentation of all the students was fantastic and the adjudicator awarded the win to Glenorie. Mrs Black was very impressed by the high standards set by the students involved. Well done, you did a fantastic job.

Students with Allergies Students may have varied food-based allergies, including allergies to peanuts, dairy, gluten and egg. Some of these allergic reactions can lead to severe reactions such as anaphylaxis while other side effects may be less severe. Nonetheless, the school canteen plays an important role in ensuring the health and well-being of students. To minimise the risks associated with allergies in our school canteen environment we would like all canteen volunteers to be aware of our health plans for all our at risk students at the serving desk. Canteen staff and volunteer helpers need to be aware of children at risk of allergic reactions. To help you identify these students they will wear red plastic wrist bracelets with white crosses from next term.

PSSA/Sport News Our inter-school sports competition kicks off next term, in week 1. We would like to wish all of our teams great success. We know that you will play fairly and be great sports people. Thanks to the teachers and parents involved in coaching the teams and for your anticipated support. All PSSA fees are to be finalised by tomorrow, online or cash sent to the classroom teacher. Thank you.

In Week 3 next Term we celebrate Education Week, Grandparent’s Day and hold our book parade and our book fair, ALL on the same day. It is a huge day for the school and provides us the chance to show our wonderful and supportive community what makes Glenorie Public School so unique.

These holidays, try to encourage your child to think about what book character they might want to dress up as. The theme is ‘Reading is my secret power’.

On this special day, a book fair will be held in the library. Please come along to see the displays and purchase a quality book for your home and perhaps a book for the library as well. We are so lucky to have the incredible space and resources of a well-patronised library. We would love you to leave your mark on our library by purchasing a book for the students to enjoy.

Rest up over the holidays and keep reading!

Athletics Carnival – 25th July 2019

For our upcoming Athletics Carnival, Glenorie Bakery is working with the P&C and we will be selling baked

goods for lunch on Thursday.

Refer to Flexischools for the menu – cut off is Tuesday 5pm so we can confirm numbers with the Bakery.

Please ORDER via Flexischools when the service is activated so we can confirm numbers.

There will be some items to purchase on the day – however to guarantee your lunch we are suggesting children,

parents, caregivers and grandparents and teachers order online.

The P & C have chosen this food choice as we always struggle to get volunteers to cook a BBQ and we are hoping

this is an easier option for the volunteers and we can all enjoy the day watching our children.

Other canteen items will be on sale on the day also – ice blocks, drinks and chips etc

Also, She Brews It – coffee van will be at the Oval on the day so everyone can enjoy a hot drink.
