This Week at Tarago Public School

Principal’s Report

Dear Parents and Carers I am writing from our camp at Berry. The children are having a wonderful time meeting new friends and challenging them-selves with numerous sporting activities. Yesterday we completed a 6km walk up a massive hill to see the beautiful sights of the coast and the surrounding mountains. Needless to say every-one fell asleep early last night! This morning we are going canoeing so it should be fun. I would like to welcome back Mrs Beer to school. I know she is excited to be back on class and looking forward to teaching the K-2 class. Last weekend we had a massive clean up of the school grounds. Thank you so much to all the parents, children, teachers and volunteers who gave up their Sunday to help. The school looks so much better and I believe we nearly filled up the tip! We can actually see and use the cricket pitch and green house again! Miss Michelle Jones Principal

News from K-2 It is wonderful to be back at Tarago again. The children were excited to see the lovely new tables in our room. They have been participating in daily fitness with Miss Divall in the morning to get them ready for learning. This term we have a classroom play shop as we will be learning about money as part of our maths program. K-2 will learn about growing things/plants and animals in Science and will be doing some gardening this term. As the weather warms up it is important the children drink plenty of water. They will be able to bring drink bottles into the classroom and have a drink when necessary. We hope 3-6 have had a great time at camp this week.

Hats in Term 4

The weather is getting

hotter and the sun quite

strong. This term our no

hat, play in the COLA

policy is in force. This

means students who do

not have a broad

brimmed hat will be

required to play in the

COLA. This provides

students an excellent

shaded alternative play

area. School hats are

available at office for

$12.00.

Coming Up

Student Banking

If you are interested in teaching your children to save money, why not think about Student Banking. It is simple & easy to set up.

Banking day is

Thursday.

Student Details

If, for any reason, details or circumstances

change for your child please advise the

school immediately. Change of address or

phone numbers must be notified to the

school as soon as possible. In the event of

an accident or injury we need to be able to

contact you.
