R2’s got Talent!!

R2 have been working hard with their creative writing skills.

The children have been learning to write a variety of genres

and have even taken their learning forward into their acting

skills!!

The children have also been investigating and learning new

facts about cats and mice…as Tom and Jerry are popular fa-

vourite characters in R2.

Principal’s Report

Tuart Rise Primary School Newsletter

Welcome everyone to the final term of the 2015 school year.

It was great to see everyone starting back at school yesterday and meeting our new students and their fami-

lies.

One of our focuses for this term is to begin preparation for next year. Two events we will be running to as-

sist with this will be a Kindergarten Information Session and a welcome for families starting at our school for

the first time in 2016.

The Kindergarten Information session is designed for parents who have enrolled a child in our Kindergarten

program for 2016. The purpose is to provide information, answer questions, meet staff and to familiarise

participants with the school facilities. This will be held on Wednesday, 11th of November at 8:45 am in the

school library.

An invitation will be sent to all families who have enrolled a child in our 2016 Kindergarten program.

The Welcome for New Families is targeted at families who will be starting their children in pre-primary

through to year 6 at the school for the first time in 2016. The purpose is to provide information, answer

questions, meet the school leadership staff and to familiarise participants with the school facilities. Children

are very welcome to attend and see what their new school is like.

This will be held on Monday, 7th December at 2:00 pm in the school library. Invitations will be sent to all

families who will be new to the school in 2016.

On a different note some of our students will be participating in the Inter-school Athletics Carnival on the

18th of October. I extend to all our representatives my best wishes.

Have a great week everyone.

Free School Magnet

A cool school magnet will be sent home with the hard copy of this

Newsletter. Please ask your children for it as it may get forgotten

in a school bag.

Riding a bike to school?

Our bike racks are starting to fill which indicates students are riding their bikes

and scooters to school—which is fantastic. Please remember that bicycle helmets

are compulsory by law and must be worn at all times when riding. It is also im-

portant to remember cycling courtesy. Ring your bell or make your self known to

pedestrians sharing the paths. A little warning could save an accident occurring.

School Choir—First Out Of School Performance

The TRPS Senior Choir were given the opportunity to sing at the opening ceremony of the School Sport WA

District High Schools Country Week. This was an excellent opportunity for our students to showcase their tal-

ents to an audience in the wider community.

They performned on Monday 21st September at the WA Basketball Centre in Mt Claremont. Students wore

their TRPS Choir shirts with pride and sang beautifully.

Do you view our newsletter electronically?

Our newsletter is starting to get lengthy as we include both school

and community based information. Eventually our newsletter will

only be available electronically and we will phase out the hard

copy sent home with the oldest student from each family. This

week, only a 4 page shortened version will be sent home and the

full newsletter will need to be viewed electronically. This can be

done by email, Connect, Skoolbag App or our website. Please con-

tact administration if you require assistance viewing our news-

Enrolments for December/January programs are now open. It is im-

portant for every child to learn to swim and develop essential water

safety skills. VacSwim’s school holiday programs are conducted by

qualified instructors who teach children the skills to be confident

swimmers and safe in the water. This year there has been a small

price increase from $10.00 per enrolment to $12.50 per enrolment

dress is now $34.50). For further information and online enrolment
