What a positive end to another amazing year! Once

again Peg’s put on an incredible show last

Wednesday night at the new REAP Venue. Thanks to

all our families for helping to make the night a special

celebration. The costumes, props and support is very

much appreciated. Our Movies theme this year

certainly kept the toes tapping!

Staff Farewells

It is that difficult time of year when we farewell part of

our school team, our dear friends and colleagues. Mrs

Danielle Halliwell, Mr Ryan Young and Miss Amanda

Oakley. Thank goodness for the internet, we know

we’ll stay in touch! We wish them all the very best and

thank them for their contribution to our great school.

Proposed Class Structure 2019

Class lists and appointment of teachers is still being

finalised for 2019. Staff have met to commence class

placements. This is done with attention to each of your

child’s academic, social and emotional needs. Parent

requests have been considered where possible.

Class lists will be made available on Friday 1 February

from 8.00am on the Breakfast Club windows. Class

placements will not be given out over the phone.

If you are leaving our school at the end of the year,

please make sure you have informed the Front Office.

We wish you all the best in your move to a new school.

Happy Holidays!

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my

incredible staff for their ongoing hard work,

commitment and enthusiasm throughout the year.

Have a safe and happy holiday with your family and

friends. Travel safely if you are planning to travel and

we look forward to seeing you all back ready to start

on Monday 4 February 2019.

Play Pod

Peg’s Creek will be continuing with our very successful

Play Pod in 2019. A Play Pod is a collection of clean

scrap items from home, businesses and offices that

the students can use for creative play.This type of play

provides a greater range of flexibility, diversifying its

appeal to children.

Early in 2019 we will be asking for suitable “scrap” to

be bought into the school to fill our Play Pod. We are

interested in clean and safe materials that can be used

in a creative or play context. Examples of suitable

“scrap” include containers, boxes, buckets, crates,

barrels, drums, tubes, plastic piping (all sizes &

lengths), wheels & tyres (all sizes), dress-up clothes,

material (think tent size), rope, netting, wooden off-

cuts, anything with wheels (chairs, trolleys, etc). The

stranger, exotic and unusual the “scrap” the better, so

start collecting!

SALVATION ARMY CHRISTMAS APPEAL

This year, the Peg's Creek Primary School

community elected to be a part of the Salvation Army

Christmas Appeal. We asked for donations of non

persishable grocieries and Christmas items. Last week

we presented our collected goods to the Salvation

Army Captain Lynn Boughton. She was extremley

impressed with the generosity of our school community

and wanted to ensure that everyone who donated be

thanked. The Salvation Army in Karratha delivered

over 100 hampers last year and couldn't do this without

community support. Well done Peg's Creek!

SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Secondhand Uniforms

Are you leaving the school, or have some uniforms that

just don’t fit any more?

We would love them for our Breakfast Club. Often

students may come to school needing uniforms and

your donations would be greatly appreciated.

Year 6 Leavers Lunch

The Year 6 Leaver’s Lunch seemed very formal when

we first walked in on the red carpet. After the

introductions, speeches and a funny slideshow, it was

time to eat. The cake was delicious, the photo booth

was a definite highlight, and swimming in the pool with

all the other Year 6’s was SO MUCH FUN!!! Overall,

our Year 6 Leavers celebrations was a day to

remember, and we really appreciate all the hard work

that everyone put into it. Goodbye from the 2018 Year

6 class!

Exploring Together Several families have expressed their interest in being

part of the Exploring Together program for 2019. This

program has proven to be a success in identifying

strategies and an opportunity to talk about different

behaviours that make daily living a little trickier. The

strength of the program is about building

communication between you and your child to avoid

the ‘catastophes’ that occur. This is done by talking as

a parent group and a student group separately then

coming together to share an experience which is

usually through a game. Francesca de Bonis from

Yaandina will be back early next year at Peg’s Creek.
