DUNGAY PUBLIC SCHOOL

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

It was lovely to see all students refreshed and ready to learn last week. All classes were settled and having fun. There is currently a lot of infrastructural work going on around the school. The painting is halfway through completion and the colour scheme chosen by community and staff is looking sharp. We also have temporary fencing around the school as we are getting a new black fence at the front of the school and a chain wire fence around the eastern and southern boundaries of the school. Hopefully all

the structural work will be complete by week 5.

THIS WEEK’S BEHAVIOUR TARGET: I can be organised and responsible in all areas

Each week Dungy PS will focus on a behaviour target to help our students to be the best they can be.

This week’s target focuses on students being organised and responsible.

KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION Tuesday 22 October, 9.15am-11am

The first of five Kindergarten orientations is on this week, from 9.15am to 11am on Tuesday 22 October.
