Term 4 Week 6 Newsletter 34 17th November 2016

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

The panel has completed its duties for the Expression of Interest for a Kindergarten teacher in

2017. Mrs Kim Gorton, currently a Kindergarten teacher at Bolwarra Public School, has accepted the

position. Kindergarten orientation dates will be finalised after negotiation with Bolwarra Public

School.

School photographs will be taken on Wednesday 26th April, 2017 (Week 1, Term 1). Many

parents have been enquiring as to whether or not the new school polo shirt could be worn by

students on school photo day. It would be great to see as many students as possible in the new

polo shirt for the photos. The uniform committee is currently taking orders for the new uniform and

as polo shirts have a minimum order of 100, may I recommend parents at least place an order for

the new polo shirt so there is some consistency in uniform for the school photo. Thank you.

Once again, the Home Reading Scheme has been an outstanding success. For those nearing the

200 nights, the closing date for the scheme will be Friday 2nd December. Get a read on!

P&C AGM

The AGM of Hinton Public School P&C will be held on Thursday, 1 December 2016

PEER SUPPORT 2016

I would like to thank the Stage 3 students for their help in organising and delivering the whole

school Peer Support Program which has been taking place every Thursday afternoon for the last 3

weeks. Students across the school form small groups and are guided by the 5/6 students through a

variety of tasks. This year, our Peer Support program took place in both Terms 1 and 4 with

activities in Term 1 designed to allow students to get to know each other better and then activities

in term 4 designed to encourage students to look back on the learning muscles they have been

using throughout the year. Students created war cries, collaborated in colouring tasks and finally

exchanged written compliments. Well done 5/6 C for showing great leadership skills and supporting

your peers so well!
