2019 Kinder Orientation info We have three half days and one full day (see dates above). Children may be dropped off and picked up from school—please be prompt with times. There will be no parent sessions during Orientation as we’ve already held our Info Evening. Please ensure your child has a packed lunch, water bottle and broad brimmed hat each day. If they’re attending the whole day orientation they’ll also need a packed recess. Uniform orders can be placed by completing one of the forms. Payment is required at time of ordering. Forms will be available during orientation plus are always available from the P&C tub located in the office foyer. All uniform enquiries are to be directed to the P&C email: [email protected] The P&C uniform officer will fill orders and notify you when they are ready to collect from school. ** Please note: ALL enrolment applications are required to have an interview with the Principal, accompanied by all relevant paperwork.

Principal News Garden Club
Our internationally acclaimed vegetable garden group entered some vegetables into the North Coast National Show. We won two
1st place ribbons and two 2nd place ribbons. A fantastic achievement. I sincerely thank John and Marion who work with our
students to learn more about growing vegetables. Well done and congratulations Blakebrook PS.
2019 Kindy Transition Program
Our Kindy transition program commences next week. We will have our new enrolments arrive to spend some time at ‘big school’ in
preparation for their transition from pre-school to Blakebrook next year. We welcome our new students and trust they will enjoy
their time at our school.
Monday 29 October – 9:15 – 12pm
Tuesday 30 October – 9:15 – 12pm
Thursday 1 November – 9:15 – 12pm
Monday 5 November – 9:15 – 3:30pm (whole day)
The whole day transition will see all students possibly sample another class for the day. The year 6 students will explore a day in
the life of a year 7 student with Mrs Perren.
Public Speaking
On Friday this week, four of our students will represent our school at the ‘Big Scrub’ Community of Schools Public Speaking
competition to be held at Jiggi Public School. We wish Django, Hayden, Jasmine W and Tamzyn all the best.
P&C Meeting
The next meeting of the P&C will be on Monday 5 November commencing at 5:45pm in the school library. All families are invited to
come along and see the wonderful work our P&C does within the school and to ask any questions about the school. I look forward
to seeing you there.
Gymnastics
Our first week of gymnastics occurred last week. It was a fantastic day. The instructors were very knowledgeable and encouraged
all kids to try their best. It was a very ‘hands on’ session with the students learning many new skills. We do ask that students not
try the skills when not supervised in the playground.
K-2 Overnight Camp
Information has been distributed to our K-2 students and families for the biannual K-2 overnight camp at school. Families will
have the opportunity to set up a tent and camp overnight at school. Dinner and breakfast will be available. Please see the detailed
note previously sent home. The camp will be on the evening of Thursday 8 November.
For Sale
We have a spare year 6 shirt size 14 at the school (new). It is for sale for $25. First in, best dressed (no pun intended!). Contact
the office if you wish to purchase.
2019 Kindergarten Enrolments
We are currently taking enrolments for 2019 Kindergarten. If you have a child who is coming to Blakebrook next year, please con-
tact Wendy to arrange enrolment forms and other information. If you know of a family with a child ready for ‘Big’ school in the
local community, encourage them to contact the school for an appointment to discuss enrolment or to have a look at our wonderful
school.
Have a great week - Allan Duroux

NEWS FROM THE GARDEN
WOW!! What a wonderful change in the weather.
Everything in the garden has proverbially taken wings
cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts and lettuce area now fin-
ished with radish, peas, and eggplant (still recovering from the
frost) not far behind. We have removed the passionfruit vine, it
died from the same frost. Our thoughts now are on what to do
with the garden during the Christmas holidays, our original plan
was to over sow the garden with cow peas as a cover crop,
maybe two or three beds could be sown with some appropriate
summer crops that could look after themselves.
Will keep you informed next month.
Regards from Marion and John.
Daniel holding our North Coast National ribbons we won for our
vegetables. Two 1st place and two 2nd place ribbons.
