hopes to consolidate

our ‘values’ faction

token and reward

system for students and

implement the next step

which is teaching the

expected behaviours

from our updated

behaviour matrix.

Good News

Through a Community

grant in late 2019, we

were able to secure

funding towards a Big

“Awesome” Fan to

ensure our students can

use our undercover area

in the warmer weather

we have been

experiencing.

2020 Planning

Our mantra for this year

is ‘Believe you can’. This

semester I look forward

to working with the

school community to

implement the

recommendations of the

2019 School Review,

and work towards the

milestones as outlined in

our Business Plan.

As a school we look

forward to a great start

of the 2020 school year

and welcome both new

and existing families

back to our school.

Dear Parents and

Caregivers,

Welcome to Caralee

Community School’s

first newsletter for

2020. My name is Dane

Franklin, and I will be

the Principal of Caralee

Community school for

Term 1 and 2 of 2020

while Mr Shapcott is on

leave.

I am very excited to

begin working with the

Caralee Community

School community and

look forward to meeting

you all in the near

future. Already I have

been impressed with the

commitment of staff in

ensuring that they are

ready to commence

with your children this

academic year.

Students Commence

It is a credit to you, as

parents and caregivers

of the students of

Caralee, in the manner

in which our students

returned to school

ready and eager to learn.

In visiting classrooms

and speaking with

students, they are

excited, refreshed and

engaged in their learning.

Thank you for ensuring

your children are

prepared for school.

School Development

Days

Staff commenced earlier

days of targeted

Teaching our kids about good saving habits!

The School Banking program has been run nationally by the Commonwealth Bank since 1931. All you need to get involved in the School

Banking program is a Commonwealth Bank Youthsaver account. You can open an account for your child in one of two ways:

1. Online : Visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking and click on the link to open a Youthsaver account.

2. In branch : Visit a Commonwealth Bank branch with identification for yourself and your child, like a driver’s licence and birth certificate.

School Banking Day is Thursday. Each week you need to bring the deposit book up to the Front Office. You

will also have the chance to receive a range of items to help you save. If you would like to know more about school bank-

ing, please ask for a 2020 School Banking program information pack from the school office or visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking

Caralee’s Kitchen

We are responsible for the day-to-day running of the

School Canteen, “Caralee’s Kitchen”. We are very fortu-

nate at Caralee to boast a five-days-a-week canteen

which is run by our Canteen Manger, Tracey. We can-not survive, however, without the valuable assistance of

our amazing volunteers. Your children love seeing you

behind the counter, and it’s a great way to become

involved with our wonderful school community.

If you would like to volunteer in our Canteen, please fill

out the Canteen Volunteer form (available online) and

return it to either the School Office, or email the form

back to caralee.pandc@gmail.com
