“What this world needs is a new kind of
army - the army of the kind.” ~Cleveland
Amory ‘BAGS OF HOPE’
The reason for the above quote is to preface an
exciting initiative from the NSW Dept of
Education & Training that was launched this
week.
It is called ‘BAGS OF HOPE’ for Cambodian
children.
It is a simple, yet effective initiative..
WE WANT YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL PACK
PACK!!!
Many children get a new school back pack over
the holidays for the next school year.
We ask you to drop your old or maybe a new
school backpack to school in the last week of
Term 4 or earlier.
Please take out the old fruit, newsletters etc
that hide in them for weeks!!!
Ashton Scholastic and the Hope for Cambodian
Children organisation will fill them with books
and school needs and send them to Cambodian
children.
Let’s make a difference to hundreds of
children’s lives in an easy way.
ROAD SAFETY
Please continue to be vigilant in the mornings and
afternoons; Use the two school crossings
No ‘U’ turns in David & Smith Streets
Don’t park in No Standing Zones
SRC COIN DRIVE
Thank you for supporting last Fridays’ Coin
Drive. We raised approximately $260.
The winning class was 5/6D who had the
LONGEST COIN LINE & the largest amount
collected.
NO HAT NO PLAY
A reminder that each student is expected to have
a school purchased ‘wide brimmed’ hat for sun
protection.
We are unable to supply a hat from lost property
due to hygiene reasons.
If you child comes to school without a hat it is
unfortunate BUT they will be unable to participate
in outside school activities including school sport
or recess/lunchtime play. They will have to stay
under the COLA or be supervised in another
classroom.
Please ensure that all hats are labelled with your
child’s name and class.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring all our
students is protected from the Aussie sun when it
finally appears.
Yours in Public Education, John Harwin

BASKETBALL
The junior game saw the Green
team outscore the Yellow team 58
to 30. For the Green team our
scorers were Oscar (16), Jarrod (10)
and Sarah (2). Jess (8) and Brendan (2)
helped the Yellow team and it was Jess’ first
game back since her ‘break’. This was another
great game to watch with a basket being scored
every thirty seconds (on average). I sincerely
hope players continue to go out and shoot for a
hundred point game.
In the senior games the Terminators (69)
defeated the gallant Knights (24). The highlight
of this game was the great combination of Sarah
S and Olivia (2) who worked so well together in
offense. Nick (12), playing without make-up, led
the scoring for the Knights and was very strong
under the basket. Jess and Sarah C backed up
whilst Daniel (2) rebounded strongly and threw
some excellent outlet passes. For the
Terminators Jacob (16) again led the scoring and
it was great to watch Jarrod (6) move into space
and shoot three wonderful baskets. An exciting
win for the Terminators who continue to score
above the ‘Magic 50’ every game. Well done to all
players.
The Hotondo Hurricanes (49) accounted for the
Slammers (32) in a very physical encounter.
Jimmy (8) and Oscar (4) played well under
pressure with Taylor making good position. I am
looking forward to the Terminators and Hotondo
Hurricanes re-match.
Keep on Dribbling .......... Mr D
