FANTASTIC FETE FUN!

On Saturday we were blessed with beautiful sunny

skies and warm weather for the return of our fete.

Our families came along and supported the event,

with extended families and community and lots of

fun was had by all. Our school and its awesome

team was certainly on show!

These days only succeed because of the combined

efforts of staff, families and community.

Our teachers and SAS staff gave up their weekend

time to be here on Saturday, also spending a lot of

time prior to Saturday in preparation.

We were supported heavily by community

businesses and individuals also, to which we say a

sincere thankyou.

Kim Rhodes, our Community Liaison Officer, spent

many hours working meticulously on the day and its

organisation. THANKYOU to Kim for her tireless

efforts and determination to make the day so

successful.

Our colour run, led by Miss Ryan, was an absolute

ball of fun, and I am sure the staff enjoyed dousing

the kids and other competitors with chalk powder

as they ran by. I certainly did!

We are looking forward to continuing to hold our

fete biannually, as it is a huge effort and

organisation.

Your feedback is always important. We would

appreciate any ideas and suggestions for the future

fete in 2020.

THIS WEEKS POSTIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR

LEARNING LESSON (PBL)

LEARNING SAFETY RESPECT

PBL Term 4 Week 3 For week 3, students were looking at the importance of respecting our toilets around the school. The lesson clearly explained what is expected and not expected when using the toilets. Our school values of Safety and Respect is linked directly with appropriate toileting. Students should always be safe when using a toilet or in the bathrooms. It is within our best interest that students are safe at all times and understand the importance of toileting correctly. Students were able to communicate positive and negative examples on how to best support themselves and their peers in being safe and respectful members of our school community.

Congratulations to all students who received awards, brag tags and personal bests at our most recent assembly. Keep striving for excellence!

Regards

Student Health

Last week on Facebook we posted that we have

had one confirmed case of hand, foot and mouth

disease. There is no cause for alarm and the

student is well and truly almost back to 100%.

Attached to today’s newsletter is an information

sheet about the disease, which is a common viral

infection—which can be easily passed from person

to person.

Resilience

In the Dingos this term we are focusing on building up our resilience.

We have discussed that some days we may not be feeling 100% and that is ok!

We have been looking out for each other and trying our best to up lift each

other when we know our friends are feeling down.

We are strong together!

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb,

It is about how well you bounce.
