Message from the Principal Trivia Night

Last Saturday Night our P&C hosted a Trivia Night at

the Everglades Club. The evening was a tremendous

success with in excess of 160 people attending. The

night served as a great opportunity for our staff and

community to have fun and socialise, while raising

funds for the good of our kids’ education. A massive

thanks must go to our new P&C President, Keiran

Dearing and former President Belinda Steele and their

team of helpers for the enormous amount of time and

effort they put into the organisation of the night. A

special mention must also go to Mr Young for his

prowess as Trivia Master!

Community Chips Program

Our relationship with the Everglades Club continues to

grow stronger and stronger and their recent

presentation of a cheque for $1000 to our School

Captains through their ‘Community Chips’ Program was

further evidence of the tremendous support they are

providing for our school.

Zone Swimming Carnival Superstar

Congratulations to Will S. from year 4 who broke a

Southern Central Coast PSSA Zone Record in the 10

Year Boys Freestyle with an extremely slick time of

36.06! On Monday this week he represented our school

and zone at the Sydney North Swimming

Championships at Sydney Olympic Park where he

performed with distinction. Well done Will!

Disco Tickets

Our first P&C run school disco will be held on Thursday

April 6. Tickets for the Disco will be on sale before

school on Tuesday 4, Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6

April. Tickets will not be available at the door. Please

be aware that no student will be able to purchase a

ticket for the school disco without a written

permission note.

Harmony Day

Yesterday students from our school celebrated

Harmony Day by wearing orange and engaging in a

range of related activities. The students attended a

special assembly, expertly run by our school leaders,

and were treated to a fantastic performance from our

highly accomplished Pacific Island Group, which was a

real highlight for our K-2 students. Following the

performance our students shared lunch with their

buddy classes. Special thanks to Miss I’Anson and Mr

McKinnon for the organisation of the event.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Teachers have begun preparations for their upcoming

Parent Teacher Interview. Many of you would have

received notice of the specific dates for your child’s

class. If you haven’t received any correspondence

regarding the interviews, please make contact with

your child’s classroom teacher so that an attempt can

be made to provide you with a meeting time.

AVID Quote for the week……

“Whether you think you can or think you

can’t – you’re right”.

Have a great week everyone,

Matt Barr

P & C Meeting. Next P&C Meeting will be held Friday 28th April at 9.05am in the Learning Centre - we are organising some night meetings also next term for those working parents and carers who want to come along!

Trivia Night WOW! What a night! We had over 160 teachers, parents and community members turn out for our first event for the year and it didn't disappoint! Congratulations to the winning table, The Inchworms. It was a tight race to the finish and everyone had such a great time we might just have to do this again sometime in the future! The support and donations we received from our local businesses meant we were able to give out over 45 gift vouchers on the night and then

we also had the support from you, our school community, who donated hundreds of items for our Silent Auction Baskets. We created 10 baskets for auction and an additional 10 baskets for Lucky Door Prizes. They were amazing! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out throughout the organisation and implementation of the night. Without your help the night would not have run so smoothly. Watch this space for an update on how much we raised for the school gardens! As part of the night we also raised some funds for Harry Beaton, one of our students who has been chosen to represent AUSTRALIA in Futsal in Japan at the end of this year. The Coin Toss was very popular and raised $310 to support Harry. That is an outstanding achievement and we would like to pass on a huge 'Thank You' from his family to all who participated
