Intensive Swimming Tomorrow is the final day of the Intensive Swimming Scheme. Although an

exausting time for the students, it proved to be a highly enjoyable and worthwhile

experience. Each day the students approached their lesson with enthusiasm,

aiming to improve their water skills and for some, overcome their fears. We were

fortunate to have such warm sunny days for our swimming. We thank the swim

instructors and parents involved. Each child will receive a certificate outlining the

particular skills achieved over the two weeks.

Captains and SRC for 2019It’s come to the time of year when we start the process of electing our student

representatives for 2019. Students who are interested in becoming one of our

school captains in 2019 will have the opportunity to present a speech at next

week’s assembly. The students have been asked to start planning their speech

indicating why they believe they would be a good candidate for school captain.

Following the assembly all students will vote for our captains and SRC members.

Our two captains and SRC members will be announced at Presentation Night in

Week 10.

Commencing in 2019 any two students from Year 6 can be elected as captain.

The tradition of having one boy and one girl captain will no longer be the model.

Kinder OrientationOur final Kinder O day will be held next Wednesday 12

December commencing at 9am. Hopefully we will see all 12

new Kinder students attending for the whole day. Mrs Williams

has some wonderfully exciting activities planned for the boys

and girls.

Our new Kinder students are asked to bring their hat,

crunch and sip, recess, lunch and their water bottle. The

students and our staff are looking forward to seeing all of

our new Kinder students for the whole day.

Positive Learning BehavioursOur focus for this week in our Positive Learning Behaviour

program is “Transitions around the school”. Teachers and

students will have a close look at those behaviours which

are important when our students are moving around

the school that ensure they are safe, respectful and

responsible.

As each of these weekly lessons is completed parents

will notice various posters on display around our school

showing the expected behaviours. This provides a visual

reminder for our students.

Performance EveningYesterday we had our whole school rehearsal for our

Performance Evening next week. As each week passes

we are seeing some steady improvement in the students’

performance. If parents have not yet sent in their child’s

costume for their item please do so by TOMORROW.

In most cases children will just need some basic casual

clothing from home for their performance. Other

performance groups will be supplemented by items

that the school will provide. Costume items will be kept

at school until next Tuesday when we have our dress

rehearsal.

A reminder that all students will be

travelling to the hall on Tuesday

and Thursday morning of next

week to practice. All students will be transported to the

hall in staff cars. Any parent who does not want their

child to travel to the hall in this manner are to contact the

school as a matter of urgency.

End of Year Reports Teachers are currently finalising their

class reports for second semester. These

will be sent home with students in a

sealed envelope next Friday. Parents and carers are

reminded that this report reflects their child’s work and

achievements throughout Terms 3 and 4. Parents who

would like to make an appointment with their child’s

teacher to discuss their child’s report are asked to contact

the school office.

Presentation NightParents are reminded that our Presentation Night will be

held on Tuesday 18 December on the back playground.

The night will begin with our traditional Picnic on the

Grass (our back playground) so bring along your chairs,

blankets and some dinner.

We will have a number of presentations and special

awards for our students and this will be

followed by a special visit from Santa.

Our Kindergarten students of 2019 will

also be joining us.

Families are kindly asked to provide a plate for supper.
