Principal’s News This week is Education Week. We will be celebrating differently this year and I am sure we will all be reflecting on previous years and activities we were able to enjoy. As we look forward, we do so with optimism and the return of our pre-COVID lives. We continue to admire the resilience of our students in what has been a difficult and challenging year of fires, floods and COVID and appreciate the continued support of our community, particularly the parents and carers of our Somersby students.
This week, students will begin Education Week with the running of the school cross country. Spectators were unable to attend today, however there will be many photos to share with you in the coming weeks. The week will conclude with a school assembly which will be held on Thursday 6 August at 2:15pm. The as-sembly will be shared with parents via ZOOM and the link will be available for parents to access on Class DOJO and the Skoolbag app from 2:00pm Thursday afternoon.
Please contact your child’s classroom teacher – before Thursday – you if intend on accessing the assembly via ZOOM and have difficulties downloading the app for ZOOM or Skoolbag.
There has been an addition to our school this week – our new chickens. We are the proud new owners of 3 Silkie chickens who have taken up residence in the chicken coup. They will all remain in the coup for the next few weeks before enjoying the new run Mr Ward created for them in the holidays. We will be holding a naming competition this week at school to find just the right name for the chickens. Votes will be tallied on Friday and names announced next week in the newsletter. Lunch Activities New activities will be available for students during lunchtimes from this week. A roster will be available in the basement and activities available for students are Tech Club, netball, Craft Club, Environment Club, cricket and the basketball. Activities begin today with Tech Club. KMHS Transition – Tuesday 4th August 2020 This Tuesday at 9am students transitioning to Kariong Mountains High School will complete the Year 7 Screening Test here at Somersby PS.
Students who are sitting for the selective class test at KMHS on Tuesday morning will need to make their own way to the high school and be ready to begin by 9am. The KMHS bus, accompanied by KMHS staff, will return students to Somersby PS at the completion of the test. Only students who have previously registered for the selective test are eligible to attend on the day.

Quote of the Day
“It is never too late to be what you might have been”
~ George Eliot
Canberra The 5/6 Canberra excursion has been cancelled. We understand this will be disappointing news and students have been looking forward to going to Canberra this year. Due to the constantly changing environment we are currently experiencing and evolving travel restrictions, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this year.
Refunds will be available for deposits that have been paid either as fees in advance or as a refund via direct deposit or cash. More information will be coming home this week to finalise these refunds.
Please contact the office if you have any concerns or questions regarding the cancellation of Canberra or the refund process.
P & C The P & C meeting will be held tonight in the school library. All are welcome to attend. The meeting begins at 7pm.
If you are unwell or have cold or flu symptoms, please stay home. Social distancing guidelines will apply to this meeting.
