Newsletter Term 4, Week 1

11th October, 2016

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Term 4 everyone. I hope you all

had an enjoyable break and are looking forward

to an action-packed term at Murwillumbah East

PS.

We have some new faces and some returning

faces at school this term. Firstly, we are lucky to

start this term with a university prac student on Mr

Vella’s class, Miss Madeline Mansfield. I’m sure you

will join me in welcoming her to our school.

Mr Basil Heatherill has returned to our school as

General Assistant for the next 12 months as Mr

Albury has decided to continue his leave.

Welcome back!

Mrs Nicole Taylor is our new Canteen Coordinator.

We hope she enjoys her new role, welcome!

Attendance

Regular attendance at school for every student is

essential if students are to achieve their potential

and increase their career and life options.

Children who are enrolled at school are required

to attend every day the school is open for

instruction. It is also important for children to arrive

on time each day. Attached to this newsletter is a

flyer from the Department of Education detailing

school attendance.

I ask that you work in partnership with your child’s

teacher or myself if these matters are relevant to

your child.

End of School Day Routines

A reminder that if you collect your child from

school at the end of the day that you wait in the

concreted area between the school gate and the

OOSH area and/or near the sandpit. This ensures

that classes aren’t disrupted towards the end of

the day. Thank you for your cooperation.

A Busy Term 4

We have lots of activities planned for Term 4 so I

ask that you check the calendar at the back of

this newsletter each week.

Have a great week!
