From the Principal

• Thank you to our scripture teachers for volunteering their time week after week and their dedication to our students. Staff hosted a morning tea for these teachers yesterday after the final scripture service for the year.

• Thank you to Senora Leroux and Mr Watson for organising the Year 6 excursion to Leichardt on Monday. Thank you especially to the parents who took the students! By all accounts the Italian cuisine had much to offer!

Carols Reminder

We are looking forward to a lovely carols night this Friday. Many of our students will be performing, singing, playing. This year the community carols will be held in the grounds of the German International School next door to the Swim School. Students who are participating have been given call times to arrive and assembly points.

Presentation Days

Our Presentation Days- K-2 this Friday at 2pm and the 3-6 ceremony next Tuesday at 9.30am – are our opportunity to celebrate the learning and achievements of our students. We hope that parents will be able to attend.

Year 6 Send off

All Parents are also invited to the final afternoon for Year 6 on the last day of term, Wednesday 16th December. At 2.30 all the students and teachers will all join them in the hall to reminisce about their year and to wish them well, before we make a tunnel for them to leave to the front of the school. We hope parents will help make the tunnel too.

P and C Reminder.

The final P and C meeting for the year will be held on Tuesday 8th December at 7.30pm in the staff room.

Year 6 Fete

Last Thursday Year 6 held their annual fete with the class using their understanding of business strategies and visual literacy to help create innovative and interesting stalls for their peers. With the weather not melting their enthusiasm; movies, fortune telling, nail and face painting, bike, push karts and obstacle courses, sock wrestling and remote control car activities went full steam ahead. A much deserved 'Thank you' to our wonderful parent helpers who worked on the White Elephant, cake and BBQ stations. Well done Year 6 on a brilliantly organised day. Mr Watson (Ps thank you also to the generosity of the community for the White Elephant donations. To help those houses now bursting at the joints, we will be starting to collect White Elephant items again towards the end of Term 3 next year )

Year 6 Haberfield Excursion On Monday this week Year 6 ventured out to Haberfield as a culmination activity for their Italian lessons. Signora Leurox organised the day with students completing a range of activities at specific shops and locations around the area. It was a memorable experience witnessing for the Year 6's as they raced around purchasing all types of products and discussing the variety available. There was never really a moment when a student wasn't either holding something, eating something or speaking in Italian. What a fantastic day with a big thank you to our wonderful parents (Anna, Kira, Janella, Marie and Andie) who assisted in taking us out there and also walked away with a few shopping bags of memories. Ciao
