2020 ENROLMENT INTENTIONS In order to assist with planning for 2020, please keep the office informed of enrol-ment changes. If you are leaving our school for 2020, we would appreciate early noti-fication. CLASS ORGANISATION 2020 After the report writing process has been completed, teachers will begin the enor-mous task of forming classes for each individual student that are best suited to their learning and social needs. This task is compounded by the nature of ever changing populations of school. If your child has circumstances that teachers and executive staff need to know in class placement for 2020, please make sure that you provide a written request to the school office preferably before Week 8 of Term 4, 2019. Early notification of requests will assist in our flexibility in this process. YEARS 3-6 HOME READING PROGRAM Just a reminder that the reading logs that were sent home at the beginning of Term 4 are due to be returned on Friday morning to your class teacher for signing off. All students who have completed 25 nights of home reading will receive one ticket in the home reading draw for a fantastic prize. The prize will be a movie voucher for one lucky person from Stage 2 and Stage 3. Keep reading, reading, reading our first draw at the primary assembly this Friday. The next one will be at our assembly in Week 8. Thank you to all parents/caregivers and the P&C for your ongoing support in our Home Reading initiative. YEAR 2 SWIMMING SCHEME The Year 2 swimming scheme will start next Monday, 11th November and finish on Friday, 22nd November. Students participating in the swimming scheme are remind-ed to bring their towel, rash shirt, sunscreen, underwear and plastic bag (for wet items) every day. Students are asked to wear their swimmers to school under their uniform and apply sunscreen. Please label all items with your child’s name.
