9 June 2016

Dear Parents/Guardians

I would like to thank Mr Wilson who ably looked after the school in my absence. He was well supported

by Mrs Dobbs and Mrs Sloan. It was reassuring to know the school was in such capable hands. Mrs

Sloan had the extra pressure of being part time in her class at the same time and she managed both

roles extremely well. I do have more Long Service Leave to clear before the end of the year but am

unsure at this stage as to when this will be taken.

Mr Fowler (our School Patron) recently suffered a heart attack. I am pleased to advise that he is on the

road to recovery and will be back helping out at the school next week. We wish him all the best.

Winter Sport

Tomorrow the teams will be playing against North Mandurah here at Riverside. If your child is in one of

the teams please come along and support them. Games will commence around 1.30pm. Thank you to

the staff who have been training the teams before school.

Koolangka Boordiya (Children's Leadership) Program

Yesterday Miss Otway and Ms McLean (ESC) accompanied 6 students from year 5 & 6 to Coodanup

College for a Children’s Leadership Program. Students from other public and private schools in the

Mandurah Community also attended.

The students looked at the strengths that they have and how they can make Mandurah a stronger

Community. It was a great opportunity for our students to take part in and contribute.

School Uniform

It is a concern that an increasing number of students are not dressed in their school uniform,

particularly the navy school jumper. Could you please ensure your child/children are

adhering to the School Dress Code Policy? A copy of this policy is available on the school

website and at the office. The Uniform Shop which is open Monday 2.30-3.15pm and Friday

8.30-9.30am also stocks second hand uniforms.

Thank you
