Principal’s Report
Kindergarten 2013 interviews have started! If you have a child
ready to commence school in 2013 please ring and make an
appointment to see me with your child. Our appointments
generally last 30-45 minutes, and are designed to mark the
beginning of transition into our school. Important Term 4
Transition dates are:
Kindergarten Orientation: Friday 2,9,16 and 23 November,
12.15pm
Big Day at School: Friday 30 November
Our School Development Day is on Monday 16 July. We will be
working with the Literacy Consultant, Melissa Giddens, and staff
from 4 other schools, exploring practical teaching strategies
designed to improve student knowledge and skills in writing
persuasive texts. Persuasive texts are read and written in most
Key Learning Areas and include book reviews, letters, brochures,
ads and essays. We will be exploring the grammatical
components of persuasive writing and the techniques used by
effective writers, and shown how to use these as a basis of
effective teaching programs.
Staffing changes for Semester 2:
We welcome Mrs Karina Offley onto 1/2M for the rest of the
year whilst Mrs McOmish is on maternity leave. Mrs Mary
McKay is taking on the new role of Learning and Support
Teacher (LAST), providing support programs for students through learning assistance,
behaviour assistance, Norta Norta and Indigenous Education. Mrs Lesley Killingbeck will
be our Librarian for Semester 2, once Mrs Debbie Imms returns from long service leave.
Students return on Tuesday 17 July. We will attempt to have our Athletics Carnival on
the first week back, Friday 20 July- cross your fingers for dry weather.
Enjoy the holidays everyone- have a safe and healthy time.
Regards,
Jennifer Thomas

Schools Spectacular Dance Group

The dance group did an amazing job with the popcorn, bagging,
selling and keeping their work area clean. They raised an amazing $118.65! We
would also like to thank Tamaya Rose, Inspired Youth Lismore, for the use of the
popcorn machine.
The Pie Drive went extremely well, it made an awesome profit of $1146.25. Thanks everyone
for your support.
We would like to thank - Elders Real Estate Alstonville along with Big River Print Wear Ballina for making it possible
for our dance group to be wearing a special t-shirt. Watch out to see them wearing those during their fundraising
and of course their time in Sydney.

The Tally board is in the foyer, come and have a look and see how many wonderful people are
