REMINDER – “EXIT ON TIME”

TUESDAY, 30th AUGUST.

As was mentioned in the newsletter

several weeks ago, at the P&C

meeting on Thursday last week,

and numerous times at student

assemblies, tomorrow, Tuesday

30th August, is the day we need to

have all students off the school

grounds at 3pm on the dot. This is

to allow teaching and support staff

time to get to Monteagle Public

School for an important training

session on asthma.

If there are any problems with this

arrangement could you kindly

contact the school on Tuesday

morning and we will endeavour to

create a workaround for the

problem.

WARRANGONG TROPHY

The Warrangong Trophy for 2011

will be held on the night of

Tuesday, 25th October at the

Young North school hall. There are

currently 16 teams of 4 students

registered to compete in the

competition. Wombat Public

School is organising this

competition on behalf of the

Young Small Schools.

At this stage Wombat Public School

will be sending two teams to the

competition, although only one of

the teams will be allowed under

the rules to be the official Wombat

team.

BROWN THACKERAY CARNIVAL

This will be held on Saturday, 29th

October 2011 and will be at

Monteagle Public School. There is

also a backup date in case of bad

weather; this will be Saturday, 5th

November 2011. All students are

encouraged to attend this carnival

WITH their parents and extended

family. Competitions are run for the

students but also for ex-students and

parents of the schools and it is a

great social event as well as an

athletics carnival!

We wish the very best of luck to

Sienna Bloor, Georgia Buttigieg and

A big congratulations to all of our students for

their excellent contribution and participation

in our “One World - Many Stories!” day.

They dressed up with fun and flair and our

primary students stepped outside their

comfort zones to produce some excellent

story telling. Sienna Lane, Rory and Georgia

were the winners of the storytelling

competition.

Some of the comments made by our infants

students:

“I loved Sienna Lane‟s story called “Yay”. It

was so exciting!”

“ “The Bike Lesson” was so funny and Rory

was fantastic!”

“Yousuf read us “Would You Rather”. He did

a good job!”

“It was so cheeky when Fegus was doing the

opposite to what his owners told him. This

was when Georgia read us “Fergus”.”

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Congratulations to all students on their

participation at Friday‟s Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Off. Students completed 5 activities after

lunch including single rope, partner, relays and

long rope skipping.

At the rest station, students coloured in pictures

of the heart and healthy lifestyle choices. The

“pretzel” was a popular challenge at the „Learn

a new skill‟ station.

At present total fundraising for the event is

$583.20. This is a fantastic effort by all. If you

still have any fundraising money at home,

please return it to the front office by

Wednesday this week. Money will be tallied

and sent to the Heart Foundation for

processing before prizes will be sent back to

the school.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

This year students will be presenting „Charlie

and the Chocolate Factory‟ as their school

play.

Students in Year 2 to Year 6 will play the main

roles while the Kindergartens and Year 1 stu-

dents will be the Oompa-Loompas. Students

who have a main role have been given their

own script to rehearse at home however these

will need to be kept in their school bags as

rehearsals will take place at school as well.

The play will be held at the hall in Week 3

Term 4.
