Dear Parents,
As we end Week 5 we are continuing to receive calls
for enrolment tours. Many of these are for grade levels
right across the school. Given that we are currently
trying to formulate grade structures, class sizes and
staffing needs for 2014, we need to firm up enrolment
numbers.
Therefore, we ask any families intending to leave our
school, to please notify the office staff in writing as
soon as possible.
Likewise, if you know of family or friends who are
looking to enrol their children at our school, we ask
that they call the office to arrange a tour promptly to
avoid any possibility of disappointment.
School Gates
We wish to advise all parents that the school gates will
be opened after 2:45pm.
Concerns were raised by many staff members about the
gates being opened too early. Given that many students
are still moving around the school for such things as
going to the toilet, running errands or visiting a
specialist class, it’s not safe to have all gates open for
anybody to wander freely in and out of our school
grounds.
Parking
This is a reminder that we ask all members of our
school community to avoid parking in front of the
big blue skip bin. We have been informed that the
rubbish truck will not enter our school grounds if a car
is stopped in front of the skip bin.
Also, all parents are reminded to avoid using the staff
car park.
Christmas Raffle
Our Christmas raffle is on again. Students were given
the raffle tickets to take home last week.
Many donations that we could use to place in hampers
for prizes have begun coming in. We would really
appreciate parents donating items such as food, toys or
Christmas decorations. All donations can be dropped in
the office area.
Grade 4 Camp
On Monday, the grade 4 students depart for a 3 day
camp to Phillip Island. Having attended this camp
before, I can assure you that the students are in for a
very exciting time completing various outdoor
challenges, visiting the Penguin Parade and spending
time with their friends.

Movie Night – Thursday 28th
November
Be sure to save the date as this is going to be a super
fun night. I have seen many grades filming their Oscar
worthy movies. To give you a sneak peek, I have seen a
few superheros, princesses, big shot directors and even
cameos by staff!
So don’t forget to pack your picnic rugs and the jaffas.

Student of the Week
Buy a Poppy for Remembrance
Our school has once again been supporting our local
RSL with students from grades 5 and 6 selling a range
of Poppy products to our school students. Prices range
from $1 to $5. There is also a box of Poppies at the
front office for parents to purchase from.
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is commemorated on the 11th of
November every year.
It recalls the end of World War 1 on
that date in 1918, were we
remember the Air Force, Navy and
Australian Army, who served their
country with pride and fear.
We also remember those who fought in World War 2,
the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the war in
Afghanistan.
The Red Poppy came into play, when soldiers saw that
they were growing wild on the battlefields of France. It
reminded them of the wounded soldiers and those
who bless their souls, died during the bloodbath of
war.
As always, our school will hold our Annual
Remembrance Day Ceremony on Monday 11th
November 2013 in the Hall.
Grade Prep, 1 & 2 will be at 10:30am
Grade 3, 4, 5 & 6 will be at 10:45am
We hope to see everyone wearing their Poppy badges
and wristbands during the assembly.

CSIRO
On Thursday 31st October 2013, all the grade 4s had a
visit from a scientist named Gemma who works for a
place called CSIRO which stands for:
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization.
She showed us different experiments like;
Balancing birds,
A train that either rolls or floats,
A bridge that can stand without a back
support and many more.
My favourite part was when someone had to sit on a
box full of over 1,000 nails. Also, at the end, Gemma
swung her arm while holding a bucket full of water all
the way around and it did not spill.
It was a lot of fun and I think it was the best incursion
ever.

Inter School Sports – Newcombe
On the 25th of October two Newcombe teams
from TLPS played two matches against
Overnewton Primary School. Although
Overnewton won every game, they were good
games. The girls’ team was close to winning but
sadly lost. Taylors Lakes Primary School was
the school which tried really hard to win
because it was their first match. After the
matches both schools shook hands and said
things like, “Good game.” Also after the game both teams had one child
giving a speech. One of the hilarious highlights
was when Deacon, our speech giver, said during
his speech, “Over Tooten”. Everyone from TLPS
laughed their heads off. No-one will ever
forget that moment because of Deacon.

First day, first try, first loss
We started off the day energetic and fresh,
looking forward for some serious tackling! Didn’t
take too long before the bus arrived so soon we
were off.
On arriving to Overnewton, the girls’ speed ball
team looked out the window trying to spot the
opposing speed ball team…but no luck.
The girls’ speed ball team was so energetic that
for some reason we began to perform gymnastics!
But it wasn’t long before we stopped and started
watching the boys’ match so we knew what we
were up against.
Within what seemed like an hour, next up was the
girls’ speed ball team. However just when we
started getting up Mr. Rayner told us the news
that made us even more energetic! It turned out
that there was only one girl participating in their
mixed team which meant our GIRLS’ speed ball
team had to play against the Overnewton BOYS’
speed ball team (plus one girl)!
Being confident & strong, we began our match.
The Taylors Lakes speed ball team shot one goal
while the Overnewton team shot two goals.
Leaving, with our heads held high, we were proud
that we only lost by one goal … plus we played
against boys!

European Handball
On the 25/10/13 the European handball team went to Overnewton, Taylors Lakes. At the start they couldn’t fit a boys and a girls’ team so we had a full mixed team with a lot of rotations. First on was myself, Mitchell, Akashdeep, Natalie, Alessia and Ben. The game started really well. In the first game it was 7-0 our way, the second game was 6-0 our way then the last game was 6-0 our way so overall we got a score of 19-0, a tremendous win. We were so happy to win the first game. This team of European Handballers is kicking off a great season. It is totally worthwhile. By Flynn H 5VR

Inter-school Sports!
Today the Newcombe team played their first
match. We were all very excited. When we
got to Overnewton the girls and mixed team
walked enthusiastically to the Newcombe
court. There, we met the Overnewton teams.
The T.L.P.S mixed team went first. Even though
our school lost our team spirit kept going. Our
girls’ team lost too but we still had our heads
held high.
Next round the coach of the other team
gave us a few tips so we used them and did
better. After the rounds we shook hands then
began to cheer a little a hip, hip, hooray!
Although the Overnewton grade 5s have
been playing interschool sports since January,
I thought we did a pretty good job.
