Star of Week 8

Coby – 1/2H

Our Star of the Week for 1/2H this week is

Coby! Coby has been chosen as she is a

wonderful role model for the rest of our class

and the whole school. She has consistent

attendance and she always comes to school with

a happy smile on her face. Coby is an amazing

friend to all and is a pleasure to have in our

class. She never backs down from a challenge

and doesn’t mind getting a sweaty brain in

order to achieve great learning! Best of all, she

never gives up when things get tricky and is

always happy to take on feedback to help her to

improve!

Keep up the fabulous effort Coby!

From The Library

Thank you to everyone for their great support

of this year’s book fair

We were able to take $205 in books from the

fair to go into our Library.

Also a reminder for all overdue books to be

returned.

Star of Week 7

Zane – 3/4M

Zane is our Star of the Week because it is

important to him to complete tasks correctly, so

he will check instructions with the teacher. He

always willingly helps others when they

encounter a computer problem. Our school

motto of respect and cooperation is very well

demonstrated by Zane.

Enrolling Kindergarten for 2020

We are now accepting enrolments for

Kindergarten 2020. Children who turn 5 before

31st July 2020 are eligible for enrolment in

Kindergarten. If you would like to discuss

readiness for school or any other matters

regarding enrolling your child please contact the

school office. The school will be conducting a pre

enrolment/orientation meeting for parents later in

Term 3 to outline our kindergarten orientation

program which operates in Term 4.

If you have a child that will be commencing

school or know of someone who does please

contact the school office.
