2017 School Councillors

At last Friday’s K-6 assembly, our students and staff

were rewarded with some exceptional speeches

from Year 5 students wishing to stand as our 2017

School Councillors. Congratulations to Orla,

Joanne, Kelsey, Lily, Felicity and Morgan who all

excelled themselves. Every one of these students

would make excellent leaders of our school.

Following their speeches all students from Years 2-6

voted for four councillors of their choice. In 2017,

due to such a small cohort in Year 5, there will be

four councillors instead of the usual six.

Our new leaders will be announced at our Year 6

Presentation Assembly on Monday 5th Dec at

9:30am. I wish them all the very best of luck!

P&C Meeting - Earlier Start of 6:00pm

Our last P&C meeting for the year is tonight, 29th

November at the earlier start time of 6:00pm. I

hope to see lots of you there. Childminding will be

available.

Learning Ladder - 2017 Kindergarten

Congratulations to all our Learning Ladder

students who will complete their program this

week. It is lovely to have you in our school each

week and we look forward to seeing you all every

day next year.

This week, letters will go home to Learning Ladder

students advising them on their Best Start time next

year and their starting date that is Thursday, 2nd

February 2017.

Presentation Day - Wednesday 7th December

Our Presentation Day Assembly will be here before

we know it! Please mark the date in your diaries,

the students really get so excited to see their

parents at school.

Our Stage 1 Presentation Day Assembly begins at

9:30am and our Stage 2-3 assembly at

approximately 11:00am. Unfortunately our hall isn’t

large enough to host everyone all at once.

Volunteers Morning Tea - A final thank you to all

our volunteers. It was great to personally thank you

for all that you have done for our school in 2016 at

our morning tea last Thursday.

Have a great week!
