PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE ANZAC Day Assembly 2019
Our school ANZAC Day School Assembly will be held on
Friday at 10:40am. We invite all friends and families to
commemorate this occasion with students and staff.
During the assembly students will reflect on the
sacrifice, determination and respect of the soldiers
who gave their lives during conflict, as well as the
challenges they endured. Students will hear about
mateship and camaraderie which has sustained our
country. ANZAC Day is the 25th April and is on
Thursday of the second week of school holidays.
Easter Hat Parade
The annual Easter Hat Parade will take place on Friday
12th at 2:00pm and provide our students a chance to
show off their unique craft work and creations. All
students will create their ‘hats’ in class for the parade.
This event is always one of great enjoyment for our
students and families.
We look forward to many families joining us for this
special occasion.
At the end of the parade our Easter Raffle will be
drawn.
ANZAC Day March
The Armidale ANZAC Day March is to be held on
Thursday 25 April (Thursday of the second week of

Mall, near the corner of Faulkner Street. Students are

area as promptly as possible at the end of the service.
Thank you for your anticipated support in this
important event.

Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
Keep coughing kids home and see your GP. Whooping cough (also called pertussis) began increasing across NSW towards the end of 2018, especially in children between the ages of 5 and 14 years. NSW Health anticipates that this increase will continue into 2019. School-aged children who are infected with whooping cough usually experience a troubling cough that can persist for months, but they rarely get severe illness. However they can spread the infection to younger siblings and other more vulnerable people, who are at higher risk of severe disease. Whooping cough can be a life threatening infection in babies. What can you do to prevent whooping cough?
1. Make sure vaccinations are up to date for all family members
2. Be alert for symptoms of whooping cough Keep coughing kids home, to prevent them spreading the infection to others, and see your GP to get them tested for whooping cough For more information on Whooping Cough and vaccination visit the NSW Health Website(https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/whoopingcough/Pages/default.aspx)
Woolworths Earn &Learn
Woolworths Earn and Learn is coming back to your local store
